Tag Tuesday - "Letter N"

Here is a tag I made for "Tag Tuesday".  This weeks theme was "The Letter N".  N is for.....Nest!

A Visit to Salmagundi West...and Updated Calendar of Events!

This week I paid a visit to one of my all time favourite stores in Vancouver: Salmagundi West (321 West Cordova Street) - "A collection of interesting things". Sadly, the proprietress, Lynn Brown passed away recently, but the store will live on in the fine hands of Anne!

I bought this wooden crow, which I plan on having on display at my craft fair tables!

I also bought this glittery owl to add to my Halloween decor.

Anyone who knows me, knows I can't resist old photo's!! These will probably be made into Valentine's cards down the road.

Last weekend I had a booth alongside some "Portobello" vendors at the Vancouver Home and Design show. Here's some blurry snapshots of my space (taken with instagram).

I ***finally*** updated my calendar of events to show all of my winter shows/fairs that I'll be at this year!! Click on the link up above...

The Coolest Bottle Cap EVER

Isn't this the coolest bottle cap EVER?!

I have clients saving their bottle caps for me, and some come in with stuffed to the brim/overflowing baggies (and are embarrassed by the amount of beer they've gone through since their last visit!), and others reach in their purse and pull out 3 or 4 caps. I welcome them all, and it's interesting to see what people's favourite beverages are. I love Granville Island caps - they have great cap colours!

This lone cap came from my friend/client Emily, who found it lying on the side of the road. Thanks Em, it's AWESOME!

Speaking of cool treasures, one of my class mates at the Encaustic Workshop class, was Russell, from TwistedPapers.com. I just had to take a couple of snapshots of his tray of goodies! He gave me a piece of his (perfectly crumbly) antique sewing tape to use in my bird piece.
