Last Farmers' Market 2012

Friday was our last Farmers' Market in 100 Mile House until next May.  We are going to miss everyone - our fellow vendors, so talented and supportive, and our customers, those loyal ones who keep coming back and those who are passing through with their interesting stories.

I wasn't able to make paper this past summer and the cards and bookmarks display reflect this!

Ron, however, was very busy in the workshop

New vendors and some familiar faces

Summer, 2012

We had a fun summer - very busy with visiting family, markets, and a brief trip to White Rock for James and Ildiko's wedding.

Summer Markets - South Cariboo Farmer's Market and Loon Bay

The weather has not always co-operated, but we have been enjoying the summer markets.
The South Cariboo Farmers Market is held every Friday, from 8:30 am until 1:30 pm in the Royal LePage parking lot on Highway 97 in 100 Mile House..
The Loon Bay Market on Sheridan Lake is from 10 am until 3 pm every Saturday.  It is part of the Loon Bay Resort on Highway 24.

Our first market on May 4th was chilly (yes, I am wearing my winter coat) but sunny.  We changed our look around with red tablecloths and turquoise paint

May 26th was the first Loon Bay market.  Lots of sun.

We have lots of new product for the long weekend coming up.  Will be at our regular markets and on Sunday at the Canada Day celebration at the 108 Heritage site.

up-cycled beer and wine bottles

jewellery sets, and more...

Arizona 2012

The main theme this year for our Arizona visit was Baseball (after installation of the Vessel Sink!)  So much fun.

Exhibition game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers

Brendt plays for two teams - one, the Tigers, was in a tournament which was being hosted in Arizona.  Very exciting to watch.

In the finals, up against a strong team from Las Vegas, the Tigers made a great second place finish.  

We went to Jo-Jo's to celebrate - amazing pizza and teramisu!

Next,  Brendt's Little League game with the Diamondbacks.  Loving Ron's action shots.

Brendt's cactus garden

Myranda joined us for a vegan meal, and afterwards showed us her gymnastic skills.  She has made the OConner High School Cheer Team.

On the way home, we visited family in White Rock and Vancouver.
