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 )!!!

My RENOVATED Bowls - Homemade Cold Porcelain Clay

A few of my new RENOVATED BOWLS for next Sunday's big craft show at Sandy Hill's ONE & ONLY Arts+Craft Show. I bought old bowls at garage sales over the summer and with a clever recipe found on-line on how to make air-dry porcelain AND a secret ingredient to help the clay adhere to the bowls, I recreated a new life for each of them.
