UPCOMING SUMMER MARKETS

KAMLOOPS​ FARMERS' MARKET    Saturday, July 11, 2015

Kids' Day! Lots of special activities planned for kids!

​(The​ GIFTS OF HOPE purchased to date are listed below for purposes of accountability and verification with PLAN CANADA.) 

Many thanks to everyone for donations of lovely fabics and trims. It is very much appreciated! 

 If you wish to enquire about any of the bags shown, you can contact me by clicking 'Contact' at the top left of this page.

Although many of the bags pictured below have been sold, if you are interested in a particular design, I may be able to reproduce a similar bag.   (I usually only sell at markets  because C.O.D. shipping costs are very high.) You may contact me through this web site. Thank you again for supporting this project!
