It had been over two years since I last put my sewing into a market. Then, just out of the blue an opportunity came about that I couldn't refuse. A week prior to the Canmore Folk Fest my friend Oriana scored a last minute space in the artisans market and asked me join her. So, for a week straight I sewed my heart out (during the early morning hours, nap times and late at night, that is). I basically turned my house into a one woman sweat shop leaving our house in shambles...

It was a lot of work but worth it to see my hats sitting pretty on the folkies heads.

It was so much fun, the weather was great and we had the perfect spot with a view of the main stage.
Plus it was nice to get out of my "sweat shop" and do some sewing in the sun...
I had a few other goodies for sale as well including hand made fabric buttons, wall hangings and some felt mustaches.
Couldn't put a price tag on these two though!
At the very end of the last day it poured rain on us while we tried to pack up. The rain didn't last long though. So when we were all done, Rob and the boys and I all got to sit and relax and watch Bruce Cockburn top off the evening. It was the perfect way to end the festival.
