Just wanted to share this awesome photo. My "mister" went out last night with his friends, and one of them took this wicked photo! 1000 Parker Street Studios.

Theme Thursday - April Showers

Happy Thursday! Today's Theme Thursday is: "April Showers".

Vancouver is rainy year round, but the Spring rain is different. It can be sunny one minute, you blink, and *pow* a downpour. Blink again, and it's sunny....with a rainbow and pink blossoms.

Summer Markets Have Begun

It's been busy around these parts!  The weather's improving and the outdoor shows have begun!  Here's my booth at the Ladner Village Market last Sunday:

Here's my booth set up at the Vancouver Mini Maker Faire (part of the mini Got Craft? group).  I had just bought that vintage 3-tiered lamp there on the left - I LOVE it!

My kids, taking a little break at Sports Day.  They're growing up fast!

My hubby and I dropped the kids of at "Oma's and Tante's" over the Victoria Day long weekend and had a fun weekend away on our scooters!

A few of the things I've been working on.  Do you instagram?  These photo's are from my instagram account (RavensRest is my instagram name).

I started selling my wares at a store attached to the Vancouver Public Library's main branch downtown, called Book'mark.

Work in progress:

This is what it looks like when I pack up at the end of the day:

A little snapshot of my table - Scrabble Tile cuff links and glass necklaces:

I've been promising people that I'd update my "upcoming shows"....... I'm just about to do that now!

Hope everyone's getting out and enjoying a little bit of good weather!

Make It! - Spring Craft Fair

This weekend I was at the "Make It!" fair.  Here's some pic's of my table....it's hard to fit everything into a 6 foot space!

Mother's Day Cards

Hello! How is everybody?! I think I've finally come out of hibernation.......here's some Mother's Day cards that I've been working on:

Hey Vancouverites, What are you Doing this Weekend?

Do you live in Vancouver? What are you doing this weekend? Heading out to Main Street to see some fabulous art?!

The 6th Annual Drift Weekend Art Tour, Main Street, Vancouver, Saturday, October 2, and Sunday, October 3, 2010

Showcasing local Vancouver artists working in all media. The event is free to the public and takes place in shops, cafes, galleries and open studios all along Vancouver’s go-to destination for art, design and great food: Main Street!

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of moving my 90 year old grandmother to "The Caribou", so I'll be missing this! boo! Some of my very talented painter friends are part of this event: Jill Pilon, Lori Popadiuk, Kris Brownlee, and Emily Miles.....plus many more local artists who's work I'd love to see.....sigh......next year.
