\"\"<\/a>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!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Shown below are some of the wonderful things that I saw on my tour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Jim Sanders, a long-time favourite with his pottery. Originally Harbour Pottery, it is now known as Flood-Mud Pottery.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Dory Dereski and her gnomes and duffel slippers. Every house should have a gnome!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lynne Smith, a wonderfully talented painter.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Yvon’s Solar Lamps – what a wonderful way to recycle beautiful crystal!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

George Karasek and his delicious beets and salsa, fur goods and amazing wood carvings.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Carole Bouffard had candles that are 100% soy, phthalate free fragrance oils, and no colouring, and her cretons<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Don Charbonneau, musician, painter… is there no end to the talent within him or his family?<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Slime – sparkly slime!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Doesn’t this fresh bread just give you an appetite? You can order loaves every week from these talented bakers.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

So many signs, so many sayings – where could one hang them all?<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Coffee, coffee – this is supposed to be the best coffee along the shores of Lake Superior.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

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!<\/p><\/div>\n
