This is the first time I have been too busy to take any photographs of the market. The drive was uneventful and inspirational. The weather was outstanding and everything just seemed to glow.

This is the car after it was packed.

Thank God, there are coffee options on the way up throughout Squamish. At that time of the morning I could choose Starbucks or the true Canadian option.

I had a terrific reunion with folks I haven’t seen since last year….Wanda, Micheline and Jean Marie, and Rebecca. All talented crafters in their own right, substitute Wanda for Jean Pierre and we had a nice dinner gathering at the end of the day to celebrate the start of the season.

Something wonderful happened. For the first time ever, I sold more wool than finished goods. People are really starting to dig the hand spun. This is something I have been waiting for since I started spinning…….now…where is that first pattern you ask.

Custom orders, great vendor neighbours, beautiful babies, and believe it or not herds of snowboarders. I can’t believe I didn’t pull out my camera for that.

Whenever there was no traffic, John and I grabbed a nice patch of sun and people watched. We were celebrating father’s day. After all we are up to 3 fur kids.

Observation –The most favoured snack of the day was kettle corn —what an intoxicating smell— with a close second, the Apple Fritters from my neighbour across the way. Although I didn’t partake, I heard TESTIMONIALS to their extreme deliciousness.

This was the booth at tear down -when I remembered my camera.

Overall impression. I am going to love my summer at Whistler —–Need to do a happy yarn spin and get myself organized….Custom orders to work on. Next weekend I promise full pictures of all the yummy goodness of the market.
