I've been selling my stuff at various markets for years...but it's always been a hassle. Long drives to load in and out and with little or no success sometimes on the day of sales. Brigid and I starting brainstorming and concluded that we should just open our own market to sell our things. And invite some other great vendors to join us. And that's how the Leslieville Flea came to be!

We will be holding this market the 3rd Sunday of each month starting June 16th from 10am-3pm. It will take place "Behind the Duke" at Queen and Leslie. Their parking lot is the perfect location for our East End Leslieville Flea Market....and the guys there have been so great about inviting us to host it there.
We sent out the call for vendors and got some incredible responses. There will be antiques, vintage collectibles, clothing, art, photography, jewellery....and amazing hand made and crafted designs.
I've got so many great items that I will be bringing...after another trip up to see Ed (who proved to be a great resource for vendors at the Flea too)....my back yard/basement/living room/shed are loaded with items just waiting to show themselves off at the Flea.
I also managed to score another huge load of tin ceiling tiles from the construction site down the road....and they may make an appearance there too!
Hope to see you all there June 16th (which is the day after our Longboard charity ride...yes, I'm nuts)
The other happening thing in the house was a project for my youngest son....he wanted a surfboard with a sharkbite out of it to hang on his wall.
So I cut out the board from a sheet of plywood and then taped it off and painted it....super easy fun project and it looks great in his room. I have to mention this is the first time I've used "Frog Tape"....always wondered what the fuss was around it....and it was really great stuff. If you have to do any kind of precision painting this is the product to use canada.frogtape.com
Here's the surfboard in progress.....
So that's what has been keeping me busy around here....lots more projects in the works...but I'm enjoying this May 24 weekend right now...hope yours is fantastic too!
