Mother's Day Craft Show in Corbyville

Empty Bowls

Saturday March 26th, the Gleaners Food Bank held a fundraiser

at Loyalist College. We donated 12 bowls for the cause and set up a booth.

What a good event. Next year, it will be held in February.

The New Showroom

The showroom is all insulted, heated and ready to use.

The new floor is down and some of the shelves are up. By March, it should really be up and running.

Empty Bowls March 26th

Empty Bowls, a fund-raiser for the Gleaner's Food Bank, will take place on March 26th at Loyalist College. Many local potters will be donating hand-made bowls for this event. If you buy a bowl of soup for $20.00, you can keep your hand-made bowl. You can also buy just soup for $8.00. Join us at the Loyalist cafeteria from 11 to 3.

Picton in December

Once again, Vickie's Veggies and Honey Pie and Herbals organized a fantastic Christmas Craft show in Picton. This year's dates were Saturday December 11th and Sunday December 12th.

It was overtop of Books and Company on Main Street.

Don't miss Christmas 2011.

New Christmas Show November 21st

The newest Christmas Craft Show in Belleville was at the Corbyville River Inn on November 21st from 11 to 4. This trunk sale with an eclectic mixture of hand-made items from Quinte area artisans was very busy from the minute the doors opened. Watch for Mistletoe Magic next November! This show replaces the beautiful Home for the Holidays Show that used to run at the Empire. Barb Forgie, the organizer is thinking about holding another show there again in the Spring in time for Mother's Day.

The Showroom

Things are slowly getting done in the garage conversion. The heat, a quick trip to Stowe and a septic mishap (not ours) slowed things down. I cannot imagine trying to build a house from scratch. Even with our new little showroom, we had to make so many decisions about materials and the placement of windows and doors. We're hoping that it all gets insulated and painted before Christmas.

Keep you posted!
