Crafters, upcyclers peddle wares at Handmade Holiday Market

The Handmade Holiday Market is at the Legion on Nov. 26 and 27, showcasing more than 20 local vendors.

“We’ve got quite a few upcyclers this year, which is very exciting, and a couple vendors who have become staples in the Handmade Holiday Markets,” said organizer Anna Pigden. “It’s been a lot of fun watching people’s creative styles change as new inspiration reaches them, and to cultivate deeper relationships with some of the makers in our area.”

Vendors from the local area will be selling their wares including woodcraft, needlework, signs, wildcraft, art, leather goods, honey, jewellery, stained glass and upcycled products including clothing, ornaments, and bags made from jeans. Days for Girls, a charity organization working to provide menstruation supplies to young women in other countries will also be on site.

There will be live music from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. both days, with Hannah Higgins and Gwyneth Covey playing on Saturday, and So Jam Good and Beau Melanson playing on Sunday.

The kitchen will be open serving lunch and light refreshments. Free admission, cash preferred/required by some vendors.

Donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted for the local food bank. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 27. The Creemore Legion is located at 27 Wellington St. W.
