December 4th Christmas Shopping In Toronto

Come see me even just to say 'Hi' at the upcoming Holiday Edition Parkdale Bazaar. There will be Cheesy Family Portraits, vintage and handmade crafts—so just plain fun and a great place to go christmas shopping.

Read below for full event details.

PLEDC presents the vintage and handmade market series.

The Parkdale Bazaar provides locals with an outlet for showcase and sales to promote craft, recycled and homegrown merchandise. As a response to the neighborhood's thriving vintage and craft communities the event will take place 5 times throughout the year and include over 60 vendors.

The Parkdale Bazaar Holiday Edition is our biggest and best market of the year. The event will take place in the Masaryk-Cowan Community Center (220 Cowan Ave.) from 11AM – 5PM on December 4^th, 2010 and will feature a hot chocolate station, Christmas card portrait studio and vintage Christmas special marathon.

Holiday portraits can be a little cheesy, especially with a 90’s Christmas Eve backdrop and Rudolf sweater. Why fight it? Come have your corny portrait taken by guest photographer Jillian Botting. It’s free! And we’ll provide everything from the antlers to Christmas sweaters, so come with friends and get silly.

Blogging will be slightly scattered

As you all have probably noticed my blogging has been slightly scattered. This is due to the fact I am getting ready for my first bizarre which is on the 9th October. I am busy making and creating enough designs and pieces.

If any of you are in Toronto and are interested in visiting please check out this link for the event.

I promise that once I have the free time I will continue to blog.

Cheers to all
