One of our Market vendors, Katrina Keep of Seven Ravens Design and West Coast Collective BC here in Williams Lake, has experienced a serious medical emergency. Friends have set up a Go Fund Me campaign to help Katrina and her family out with unexpected expenses. Please feel free to participate if the spirit moves you, and also to share the word. https://gofund.me/2ee59cfb

Time to think of Christmas shopping...or maybe just a "just because" nice thing for yourself or someone special. :-) I'm sure you will all remember Bill Cheff's Brilliantly Creative twisted wire trees from the Tuesday and Friday Markets this year. If you stopped by and admired his work, you'll remember how special these are. Well, luckily Bill will ship to anywhere in Canada or the USA - check out the website for an updated product list. He makes custom orders, too!... From Bill: "Even though market is over for the season, and I am back on the coast, you can still order one of my beautiful wire tree creations. 'Tis the season to get your Christmas shopping done. What better gift than a beautiful wire tree on crystals and driftwood, now with wall mount pieces too. Head to my website www.brilliantlycreative.com @ "trees for sale" and check out my stock (this is being added to regularly). If you see something you like, message me with the Item number. Prices are in CDN. I ship in Canada and the USA. Here is the shipping deal: Canadian Orders - FREE shipping if you spend $150 or more. USA Orders - FREE shipping if you spend $180 or more ** This excludes the bigger driftwood pieces ** If you know some friends or family that may want to purchase trees, your more than welcome to go in together to reach that free shipping option and I can mail it to one address. I always pay half the shipping on the bigger driftwood pieces. If you see something on the samples page that you like, please let me know and I can try to recreate it for you.
