Saturday on Pender Island: Farmers Market near the Community Hall. Only a few more weeks until Canadian Thanksgiving, then these local attractions will go into hibernation until next spring. Potters, weavers, felters, farmers, jewellery makers, jammers, beekeepers, lotion and cream concocters - all work through the winter months to get ready for next year's organic or non organic offerings.
Here are some samples of this summer's crop:
Gabriela's Pottery
Pender Island musical Gothic
$ 5.00 per box
Felter's face mask with a pale fall maple leaf motif
Whale watching at the felter's stand
Pottery rings for displaying leafs and blossoms
Something for a sore neck
More Gothic....selling little paper strips adorned with artistic graffiti
Saturday's....come on down! I used the Island Hitch Hike service with official stops at designated pull outs on the narrow country road to transport myself from Otter Bay Marina to the Community Centre a couple of kilometers away. A young health care worker, looking after seniors in an island care facility, took me for a pleasant short ride to get from A to B.
