45th Annual Muskoka Arts & Crafts Show
This past weekend I participated in the 45th Annual Muskoka Arts & Crafts Show as a vendor. The experience was amazing and I’d recommend the show to anyone looking for something to do in the Muskoka area the second last weekend in July. The show took place in the picturesque Annie Williams Memorial Park in Bracebridge, Ontario and it showcased 200 talented vendors from all around Canada. It was fascinating to meet artisans from all over Canada, all with unique products to sell, ranging from beautiful woodcarving pieces, to gorgeous pottery, to unique hand blown glass items, among many many other things.
We were among the few vendors catering to children, with our hand-made smocked dresses and we found the reception great to this almost lost art in children’s clothing. Among my favourites were Chetolah Fresh Air Studio (unique every-day pottery pieces), Dreampower (costumes for kids), and Imagine Wood (beautiful and practical wood kitchen utensils). To top it all off, we were extremely lucky with the weather, which gave us nothing but sunshine all three days of the show. I hope to be back next year with my dresses!
