The month of May simply flew by! I was invited to participate in a pop-up market featuring local artists and artisans—I was so honoured, and quickly discovered that I LOVE pop-ups! It’s a beautiful experience to be able to meet fellow creators and potential clients face to face (still observing safety measures, of course!) There are so many talented people in my community, and I have some wonderfully supportive neighbours. 

If you happen to live in Montreal (or know people who do), here are the dates of some of the markets coming up this summer: 

June 5 *- Cat Alley, 5711 Sherbrooke Street West
June 19 – Café 92, 6703 Sherbrooke Street West
June 26 * – Élémentaire Café, 6565 Somerled Avenue 
July 10 * – Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Church, 5333 Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Avenue

*I will be present at this pop-up.

And if you live elsewhere, I encourage you to hit up the artists’ and farmers’ markets in your area…they are such a great way to support local small businesses.

As usual, I’m starting off the month with something beautiful and inspirational! (Apologies for missing May)
