Inspire Festival August 17th

What a great way to see who and what is going on in the community of Shawnigan Lake.
We had a demonstration table and some sale items. The day was hot and lots of people were milling around.
I want to Thank all the people who had a hand in organising this event from Inspire Shawnigan and the Shawnigan Museum. Also all the behind the scenes volunteers.
We look forward to next year. It was a Great Day!

Sunday Market last Day August 31st

Our introduction to the Sunday Farmers Market was a Great adventure. All though it ended early this year we met a lot of great people. Customers and Vender's a like.

Very positive responses to our clay slab idea and the work we do.

We introduced the combination of pottery and wood with some Honey pots. These have wooden lids and wooden dippers.
 Also a couple of sets of sugar and creamers, the sugar bowl with a wooden lid.
We have a few larger vase type pots with wooden lids. Great for keeping garlic on the counter or tea bags. All wood is local big leaf maple tree.

Tanis has many more new ideas for coming events!
