Teulon & Area Farmers Market


Just got this info today.  They have spots available for vendors of handmade items.

Saturday, May 4, 2013, 10 am – 3 pm
Teulon Rockwood Hall, Main St, Teulon, MB

Hosted by the Teulon & Area Farmers Market
“We make it, bake it, or grow it!”

Darcy from The Teulon & Area Farmers Market board describes the sale below.  Contact her for more information.

"The Teulon & Area Farmers Market is excited to be planning our first Springfest Craft Sale, in Teulon, MB and we are hoping you would be one of our vendors!

We host two large events each year, Pumpkinfest in September and our Winterfest Craft Sale in December. This is in addition to our weekly market held Fridays from June to September.  We’ve had huge success with our sales so we have decided to organize another craft sale to celebrate spring. We’ll give our customers a handmade option for their mothers day shopping as Springfest is scheduled for the weekend before Mother’s Day. Since this event is hosted by our local Farmers Market, all product sold are to be strictly handmade; we will not include home sales companies. Our motto is that all our vendors must “make it, bake it, or grow it!”

Springfest will be held indoors in our spacious Teulon Hall. We have 50 eight foot tables available. We will accept applications until April 1, 2013 when we will make our selection. We will limit the number of vendors in all categories (example – jewelry, canning, soaps, baking) at our organizers discretion. We want a great balance of all vendors to satisfy our customers shopping needs and to not have an over saturation of any one product.

We have kept our table rentals to a reasonable cost of $25.  Please mail your application and cheque to Darci Loehmer, Box 195, Balmoral, MB, R0C 0H0.  For more information please contact Darci at 204-467-9064 or email darcid@mts.net. 

The Teulon & Area Farmers Market board is an energetic bunch and we know this will be a great event to attend! We hope you’ll be a part of this excitement!"

W.E.S.T. Handmade & Vintage Holiday Sale Closes Craft Season

Just a reminder that if you are still looking for Christmas gifts then you need to head to the W.E.S.T Handmade & Vintage Holiday Sale on Saturday.  It is your last chance to get something great and locally made.  Also remember there are many stores around Winnipeg that specialize in locally made products.  My favourite of these is Sew Dandee in Osborne Village.  She makes unique screen printed clothes and paper goods, makes accessories, as well as sells nice used clothing and locally made body products (my favourite Just the Goods), locally made handbags, and more great stuff.

Etsy, local shops, and craft sales make it sooo easy to shop locally.  Please do if you can.  :)
