Beehive Summer Craft Fair

The Old Friendship Shop on James St N. was buzzing during the August Art Crawl for The Beehive Summer Craft Fair.
An amazing event organized by the wonderful locally grown group The Beehive Craft Collective. In addition to the over 20 fine crafts artists and designers - a stunning art installation by Textiles Artist Amanda McCarvouy and an infectious set by DJ Donna Lovejoy to kick off the event Friday night.

Thank you so much to The Bees for their incredibe hard work in planning such a successful event!
Here are some photos from the weekend, taken by personal shutterbug Owen Deveney, along with oodles of links to keep you busy.
Enjoy!
