My friends arrived yesterday from BC. How nice to have friends from my life back there visit me. They came out when my youngest was just 3 weeks old and I was very tired. I am still tired, but my kids are older=)
I dropped in on a farmer's market today in another town, and there was barely any vendors and barely any visitors. Now I am getting nervous to attend one as a vendor. I am getting terrific ideas from people though. One friend reminded me that it was alot of the 'grey crowd'. After a minute I figured that one out. She also suggested tea cosys as an item. I had to google what a tea cosy was! And my mom said they always sold at her church bazaars. I will look for a free pattern online.
Okay, I had told you about etsy and the great fabric prices, but I have now found a great Canadian online store. It is called Pink Panda Fabrics. And till June 30th, if you place an order, any order, you get a free fat quarter. And a little tip, if you keep it 2 yards or under than shipping is only $2.75 in Canada. If you go more than the postage jumps to $9.00. They have good designer names for fabric and the prices range per yrd from $6.50 to about $8.50. I ordered their 6 fat quarter bundle and with shipping and tax it came to $17.81, and remember I also get a free fat quarter with that... so 7 fat quarters for that price! Check it out! (thanks for the tip, serger queen) If you do order, put in the message box that I told you.

Thanks for mentioning my shop! Does this mean I am part of the "grey crowd" because I attend Farmer's Markets? Hahah!
Unfortunately the shipping rates are what they are. Canada Post shipping works well if you buy in larger quanities. For example if you bought anywhere from 4-10 yards it would only cost $10.55 for shipping :)
Good luck with the tea cosy making! I too had to go and look that up -- found some made with Amy Butler's Lotus Collection fabrics and they look really nice.
ummm - a fat quarter - how does that measure to licorice????? how fat is this quarter??
