Cabbagetown Arts & Crafts Festival

cabbagetown arts & crafts
It's the Cabbagetown festival this weekend - all weekend!

I might be in a craft coma after this weekend. Here's the schedule...
Supercrawl is this Friday night and Saturday
and The Christie Conservation Antique Show is having their biannual sale Saturday. Where i'll be searching for millenary supplies, display ideas and of course a tea cup or two.

But after that I'm headed to Toronto's East End for some research and retail therapy at the annual Cabbagetown Arts Festival. The craft sale portion of the show runs this Friday to Sunday.

I'm especially looking forward to seeing these amazing artists at the show this year.
