On Friday, I crossed the 30K threshold on my NaNoWriMo manuscript, A Different Kind of Reunion. To reward myself, I decided to visit the 42nd Annual Fair November Craft Show at the University of Guelph.
I spent a pleasant afternoon visiting the booths of over eighty artisans showcasing traditional and modern Canadian handmade crafts. Every craft imaginable–pottery, kiln fired glass, copper and enamel accessories, hand-felted clothing, metal work, beeswax candles, wooden toys–and some I had never encountered before–recycled granite accessories, up-cycled ladies clothing, vegan handbags.
And the gourmet food products!

Hi Joanne,
I love your pictures.
Congrats on your 30K!!! That’s awesome.
I’m cheering from the west coast for you.
all the best,
Jo-Ann
You deserved the break after doing so will with NaNoWriMo – and so much fun, from the pictures. But what the heck is a vegan handbag???
Good to see you here, Noelle. When I asked, I received several different answers: Vegan leather contains no animal products…It’s another name for Faux Lather. I think it’s simply pleather. Vegan handbags sounds more intriguing! 🙂
Definitely sounds better than ‘pleather’, Jo!
Oh MY GOODness – how much fun this looked!!! I love a reward ( and bribery!) so, well done. And congratulations of your NaNo victory so far!!! Well done, indeed.
Hi Peggy, And congrats to you for crossing the 50K finish line. You are my role model. 🙂
Congrats on your NaNo results! I love fall and Christmas fairs too. This one looks fantastic.
Thanks Judy! Years ago, I’d take in almost every fair and then I got too busy to attend. I’m so happy to have resurrected this activity. 🙂
