Flock & Gather Springtime Handmade Market - Call for Vendors!

We are so excited to announce the Flock and Gather Springtime Handmade Market. The call for vendors has gone out and work is underway for the spring show!

Wayne and I always look forward to this wonderful process. It truly is amazing to see all of the behind the scenes work that goes into preparing and putting on an event like this. It really is one of our favorite Saskatoon events. And the beautiful handmade work being made locally and regionally -  wow!

For more information on how you can apply to become a vendor, or if you are not the crafty type but love handmade and would like to volunteer please visit the flock and gather blog or facebook page for more information.

Winter Wonders Handmade Market 2012

Thanks so much Saskatoon for making the Winter Wonders Handmade Market such a success! We had such a wonderful time meeting all of the customers, vendors, and volunteers that made the day and a half so extra special. It was a joy to meet all of you and spend time with such a talented group of people. See you in 2013 and Happy Holidays!

Flock & Gather in Fine Lifestyles Magazine!

Rebecca King of Fine Lifestyles Magazine provided a lovely shout out to the Flock and Gather's Winter Wonders Handmade Market in the Winter 2012 edition of the magazine.

It is an excellent article that showcases some other fantastic local handmade markets (Mix & Match and Artisans). There are also a couple of lovely photos of Erin Weiss (Boolah Baguette) dolls! Thanks so much Rebecca!

Flock and Gather Craft Night

We had a wonderful time last night at the Mendel Art Gallery! As we stretched and flexed our creative  muscles we ended up with these great gift tags for the holiday season. We also had a chance to visit and to work on some ideas for packaging for the Walden Sweet gear.

Thanks to everyone who came out and braved the cold.
