Day One of "The 36th ORIGINALS" OTTAWA CHRISTMAS CRAFT SALE. Runs until the 19th over at LANSDOWNE PARK. Considering the Holiday-Weekday-Traffic, the future "predicted" Weather, and Our "play-it-by-ear" Schedules, Today was the most opportune Day to do This.
Hmm...that's weird...hardly ANY Traffic...
After running a quick errand, We arrived before 1pm... Decided to start with the LAST ROW of VENDORS - the FOOD Section is usually Back There...
Overall, mostly Familiar Faces, and several intriguing New Ones. Lots of HEADGEAR and lots of BAGS... Oh, and Look!! What do a couple of My "Featured" Vendors *sell*..??
Okay, first, a little "Heads-up" - I'm going to be SPLITTING up Our Adventure over a couple of BLOOG Posts. I need the Time to DO a few "Things" Tonight... Don't worry, there's a Pic!
SEE!
TINGLEBERRY TOQUES - MARK was the First rather delightful and engaging "Crafter" that We chatted up! The Photo really doesn't do These absolutely *FUN* HATS any Justice! MARK KNITS Them all up with a variety of unique embellishments with PERUVIAN HIGHLAND WOOL, then FELTS
Them. They all have a POLAR FLEECE Lining too.

These HATS look Great on EVERYONE!
Next up, it was the FOOD SAMPLES... Fewer Vendors than in previous Years, but still Tasty, nevertheless! This Year's "PICK" for Me - SUN SWEET CATERING from London, Ontario. I'll bet They're glad to be missing the SNOW at Home! [That AREA had well over a *Meter* over 2 Days!! last Weekend]
Anyway, They do GREEK DIPS and SPREADS... Have a fabulous "Garlic" Spread... Yumm! However, *what* got My Vote - CHOCOLATE Hummus!! - Seriously, Who KNEW?! Personally, I'm really *not* a "huge" Hummus Fan, per se... But THIS...? -- It was Different. It was GOOD! And, of course, CHOCOLATE! Enough, said.
And, enough FOR Today... "PART 2" Tomorrow...
