Tricot et Cuivre
Tricot et Cuivre is a winning combination by two sisters. One crafts copper jewelry and the other knits ...so we put the 2 together.

41 Days: This is Sew Crazy!

41 days and counting down to the Gowling Christmas & Holiday Craft Show. We just have to share this awesome vendor with you - it's Sew Crazy!

Sew Crazy

'Sew Crazy' has grown from my passions of sewing, recycling and minimizing my environmental footprint. I love to create one of a kind items that are fun to wear, comfortable, and washable! I use previously loved garments and fabrics, combine them in original ways and give them a new life. No two items are ever the same as I rarely use patterns and my fabric choices are always unique. I also create original items for people who have a special garment they have been saving but want it transformed into something new.

42 Days: Pumpkins and Peanuts will be at the Gowling Christmas and Holiday Craft Show Nov. 14th

Pumpkins & Peanuts

Pumpkins and Peanuts makes natural products for the whole family.  All of the products have been made with natural ingredients, some even raw and organic.  They do not contain artificial fragrance, artificial colour, emulsifiers, or artificial dispersing agents.  We have many products inspired by the upcoming festive season!

43 Days Until the Gowling Christmas & Holiday Craft Show in Ottawa: Nature's Images

Today marks 43 days until the Gowling Christmas & Holiday Craft Show taking place on Saturday November 14th at W.E. Gowling Public School in Ottawa. We have invited 60 local artisans to join us and have created a stellar show for you. Be sure to mark the date on your calendar and we'll help you with some of your holiday shopping. Perhaps a nice photo gift from Nature's Images will be just the thing for someone on your list. 

Nature's Images

I make unique photo greeting cards - nature themes (beautiful scenery, sunsets, wildflowers, garden flowers, birds, animals, butterflies, etc. as well as Photo Christmas Cards - snowmen, pointsettias, etc.) Each individual card is signed, identified and dated and for protection, comes in a clear palstic envelope. Themed box sets are also available. I also sell matted and framed prints and a variety of photo gifts (mugs, coasters, calendars,etc).

44 Days part 2: Custom Crafts

Today is a special day.  With more vendors than we have in count down days, you'll be getting a few days with double the vendor awesomeness.  Check out our 2nd vendor review for today while you eagerly await the Gowling Christmas & Holiday Craft Show on November 14th (250 Anna Ave.).
