Last weekend, the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre was full of artisans and their wares. You could find pickled beets, bread, coffee, pottery, blankets, soaps, candles… Well, just about anything – including sparkly slime!
Many shoppers were looking for that perfect Mother’s Day gift and some were preparing for Father’s Day. In all, everyone seemed to be having a great time wandering around checking out all the talent.
Shown below are some of the wonderful things that I saw on my tour.
Jim Sanders, a long-time favourite with his pottery. Originally Harbour Pottery, it is now known as Flood-Mud Pottery.
Dory Dereski and her gnomes and duffel slippers. Every house should have a gnome!
Lynne Smith, a wonderfully talented painter.
Yvon’s Solar Lamps – what a wonderful way to recycle beautiful crystal!
George Karasek and his delicious beets and salsa, fur goods and amazing wood carvings.
Carole Bouffard had candles that are 100% soy, phthalate free fragrance oils, and no colouring, and her cretons
Don Charbonneau, musician, painter… is there no end to the talent within him or his family?
Slime – sparkly slime!
Doesn’t this fresh bread just give you an appetite? You can order loaves every week from these talented bakers.
So many signs, so many sayings – where could one hang them all?
Coffee, coffee – this is supposed to be the best coffee along the shores of Lake Superior.
I know we have rocks and trees, trees and rocks and water – but we also have three very talented potters in our community. Cindy makes some very unique things – check out the smoke houses at her next show!
