Mint Textile Studio at it again!

the lovely ladyfriends of Mint Studio in the craft buzzing block of Hamilton invited some of us to their october craft fair!

click over to the facebook event page for more details. 

i'll be there along side some fantastic crafts people with more chilly-weather appropriate handmade goodies like hobo gloves, crocheted beanie hats, scarflettes and a handful of new spaceboy scarves.
last night i finished sewing the edges on a few which i maybe hid on myself...not on purpose.

they're such a lovely and lightweight cotton gauze, the texture alone makes my giant heart so happy.
i'll definitely be in the hunt for some local dye plants and see what other colors they can come in.
is it weird to ask for a huge stainless steel pot and hot plate for xmas?

come out to get a jump start on christmas gifts and support handmade goodness from some pretty great talented people!
expect goodies from the following:
hands & feet
hatchet handmade
prints & needles 
shipwrecks & bravery
all things odd
madrad textiles
Ana d design
and myself!

friendly hello's will be fully stocked.

internally yours,

post supercrawl

once again, it was a short time for me at supercrawl. i guess it kind of worked out since the battery of the super awesome digital slr i was borrowing died litterally a pinch before weaving through the crowd  to the end of james st. north.

regardless, i got to see my super crafty friends that had a booth there and made sure to grab pictures of each table. on the way home, i had an idea explosion go off in my brains for the ways i can display my handmade goodies if i get accepted onto the vendors list for next year's. 

i made a flickr set with the rest of the pictures i took but here are some good ones i should probably force you to look at, onward to the supercrawl picture show!

Ghost Barn by john haney and carey jernigan

Prints & Needles table with lovely new oversized zipper pouches

Hands & Feet's table, check out brittni's shop for new onesies coming soon!

i couldn't see the artists name but i definitely looked if it went to the moon...disappointment ensued.

       

The Beehive Craft Collective had donations from just about everywhere of paper pieced hexagons for this , i may have to do it in my room

MADRAD textiles, handmade and naturally dyed zipper pouches oh my!

David Webb's jewelry and tank designs

if someone knows this artist please let me know 'cause they make the best duck face...ever.

  

the handmade goodies of Ana D, how pretty are those organza flowers!

Shipwrecks & Bravery's table, packed with knit and silkscreened goodies!

happy surprise, ladyfriend chantelle of Howl shared a booth with tara marie! her stone and antique keyhole jewelry is wonderful and she knits cowls with such rich colors. i've been bugging her to get her junk online already, maybe this year *fist shake*

at the end of the street is when the battery died, luckily i brought (comparatively)  my dinky digital camera so to pat myself on the back for remembering, i bought myself my first sweet ice snow cone, apple cider flavor and oh goodness yums!

on the way back i nearly forgot to stop by the White Elephant to see the gorgeous hyperbolic crochet coral reef and thankfully the hexagons caught my eyes to remember. if you like math stuffs and crocheting, look into the hyperbolic coral reef instillation, you're heart and brains just might pop!
