Tent Time Again

Looks like this weekend will probably be the last outdoor event I’ll be vending at, until next spring, that is. Saturday I will be up at the University of Calgary campus with my friend Christine from Purple Pony Art for the fourth annual PARKSALE. It runs from 10am – 5pm in the green space just north of Mac Hall. I haven’t ever attended this event, but it sounds like it will be a good mix of artists and designers.

Hopefully the weather co-operates! It’s been lovely so far this week. Fingers crossed that the sun sticks around on Saturday. I’ll be dragging the tent up there no matter what the weather forecast (or rather, hubby will be). Thank goodness he’s going to help set-up and take down! I’m starting to get a bit more awkward with the passing of each week, as the baby belly becomes bigger, harder, and just a little more uncomfortable.

There will be the usual Bubblegum Sass spread of goodies for sale (variety of purse sizes, button magnets, hair combs, floral pins, etc). Also making their seasonal debut, a pile of lovely scarflettes. I know, I know… it’s only September and who really wants to think about winter when the daily highs have been around 27 degrees?! But I have been starting my evening crochet madness and might as well pop some of them out on the table for folks to try on and fondle. Plus, it’s really never too early to accessorize your autumn outfits (this coming from someone who’s fav season is fall)!

Looking forward to spending time with Christine and all her lovely creations! This will be the first time we’ve sold our stuff together, but definitely not the last. We’ve got another show together coming up in November. Have I mentioned how crazy November is going to be? Oh, boy, well, it’s going to be down right insane especially when I think about tackling it 7 months pregnant!! Perhaps I should go back to thinking about just getting through this weekend…

Anyway, if you’re looking for something fun to do on Saturday, pop by the PARKSALE! Do some shopping, check out the art, and enjoy the live music!
