Sterling Prentice of Winged Beast Outfitters.

 Yesterday at the Shanghai Restaurant, I was part of  the 4th CHINATOWN CRAFT WALK, 16 crafty vendors, lots of Chinese food lovingly prepared by My-Van, one bigger than life ChinaDoll AND disco music...loud. The seventies and eighties all came back running into my arms....what great memories! And in Don Kwan's words ' It was a slice of fun '! Thanks!

Highlights from Sandy Hill's ONE & ONLY Craft Fair 2013

Shannon Dawn of LITTLEST BIRD WORKSHOP

For the last seven years, my partner Peter Evanchuck and I have been hosting/producing a very popular craft show in Sandy Hill, called the ONE & ONLY. Peter prepares a FREE ALL-DAY Buffet for 1000 people while I do the rest. With the support of ACTION SANDY HILL and lots of volunteers from ASH, the show was a huge success. (For one thing, a lot of Ottawa U students got to fill their tummies )!!!
