Kensington Market Pedestrian Sunday

All Plante. All Handmade. All day.

It's that wonderful time of year again! Come on down to see With A Y Design, Lynda Plante, and myself, at Kensington Market this Sunday, July 28th, for Pedestrian Sunday!

We will be located on lower Augusta selling handmade tote bags, purses, cases, wine bags, acorn jewellery, zines, recycled cards/envelopes, and a new line of beaded jewellery and vintage skeleton key necklaces!

Now that the heat wave is over the weather is going to be perfect, so bring your friends and your appetite (there are tons of yummy vendors on upper Augusta!)

See you there!

My army of baby acorns, patiently waiting to be drilled.

Baby acorns are adorbs!

My fav part - colour coordinating and getting the assembly line ready!

Fresh batch of acorn earrings!

Decided to spruce up my own acorn necklace while I was working on new merch.

Come check out handmade merch from wickedly talented local artists; including zines, prints, comics, small press editions and other crafty goodies!

My new line of 100% recycled, handmade card/envelope sets, "Wood Panel That Shit!" zine, and assorted prints and jewellery will be for sale. This will also be the launch of my new acorn necklace line, made from real High Park acorns!

Also for sale will be gorgeous handmade stockings, tote bags and other goods by With A Y Designs. If you attended last years' OCADU Book Arts Fair then you know that these stockings are hot tamales, and you'd better get them before they're all gone!
