Royal Bison Craft and Art Fair

Hi there! A relaxing long weekend seems like a good time to make plans for a spring road trip.

The Royal Bison Craft and Art Fair in Edmonton has announced the dates for their spring show. It is open to Edmonton vendors only, but we have heard unfailingly glowing recommendations about the show. So exciting! We plan on driving out to see what all the fuss is about! We'll make sure to take lots of photos and hopefully come back with lots of treasures.

The dates for this upcoming event are May 3rd, 4th, and 5th and for more information: http://www.royalbison.ca/

Handmade Favorites 2012

We saw a lot of amazing handmade work this past year. So what better way to start 2013 than to look back at some of our favorite handmade stuff from 2012.

Uncle Mike's All Natural Products

Saskatchewan winters are cold and dry, and absolutely murder on your hands. Mike's Healing Salve is the best product I have come across for repairing your damaged hands. His soap is awesome too!

Andronyk Jewelry

We had the pleasure of meeting Jeanie this past December. Amazing person and her work is beautiful and subtle.

There isn't always a lot of stuff at craft shows for guys. So it was a wonderful when we attended Make It in Edmonton to see these great belt buckles. Very sweet!
