THE VENDORS
The importance of having hand made , local, original products served as the gold standard for the vendor choices. Having our very own "Moss Terra" participate was really lovely too...:)

I know many of you shopped , as again, the vendor feedback was swift and delightful...read on and THANK YOU BEL-AIR for supporting them.☺️

"Lustre and Lore" posted a thank you ( screen shot below in photos)...

"Hi Tatiana

Hey Tatiana,

I unfortunately missed you on the way out, but did want to make a point to say thank you for inviting and including my table into your event. I'm so happy the weather held out and it was a lot of fun.
Amazing job done by the organizers. Thank you again!

BOOKS...at CHEW "BACA"

Perhaps you were lucky enough to catch award winning children's book author and illustrator LAURIE CAMPBELL create her puppet story-time under the gazebo!!🥰

I was unaware that Laurie gifted 20 of her books to neighbourhood children, after the story-time! It was only when a small girl was beaming at me and holding up Laurie's beautiful book, all set in Ottawa, that I witness her true generosity, something I saw when I first met her at a show where she was selling her books...
If you are interested in Laurie's books, please visit her site at :
WWW.STORYTELLERLAURIE.COM I treasure my copy.

Now, not to be outdone, our very own Grant Gilliland set up the BACA EXPRESS , for MORE free books for the kids🥰!! It too was a great success...
