Saturday Market schmooze

I handed out some thank-yous and BRINGs bucks to our recycled vendor friends at the Saturday Market. Castaways and Sehwhat told me of their plans to take a Vancouver recycled crafts fair by storm at the end of the month...and to return with awesome ideas. Also Sehwhat's Susan introduced me to Imo of bobcatbeads, whose recycled fabric beadwork should fit quite nicely at BRINGfest. Pam from Dinglewear committed to vending on June 29th. Candice Westberg was busy caricature-ing, but is excited about bringing her purse line back to BRINGfest. A big thank you to Candice for her awesome (and timely) blogging of the May BRINGfest. New to Saturday Market, Tracey of Firefly Jewelry Design showed off her finely detailed line of reclaimed copper bracelets and urban jewels, and Ram's repurposed silverwear jewelry was as elegantly laid out as usual. Unfortunately, I missed Carol of Waste Knot Woodworks and Tyler of Twylyte Hour Products, but I hold out hope that one or both of these characters find the time and inclination to join us again. June 29th will get here faster than I think, but I already feel like I have a pretty solid vendor contingent!
