This is a juried show in White Rock that I wanted to exhibit at last year with my bags (Juicybags) but it was already full. This year I’ve got in!

Update: The fair was wonderful- Ocean Park is such a friendly community. I met lots of great people and some sweet kids and dogs too. Sold loads of soaps and other goodies and I think I’ve made some Christmas stockings very fragrant this year!

Herbert Spencer Elementary School Craft Fair

Location: Herbert Spencer Elementary School, 605 Second Street, New Westminster
Date: Sat 21st Nov 10:00am-4:00pm

I did this craft fair last year and it was PACKED. Really well supported… I’m looking forward to taking my soaps there this year. Kids love the crayons too – I hope I’ve got enough!

Update: What a great time I had again this year! I love it when I see a school where the parents and community really support the fundraising efforts. I sold out of all my recycled crayons- the kids love them! I haven’t got any more materials to make more right now. Is there anyone out there with piles of old crayons you don’t know what to do with? I’ll take them! ( maybe we can work out a trade- soap for crayons?) Let me know….
