What does Labour Day mean to you?
It’s more than just a day off to say goodbye to summer.

Thank you Kev for covering me today. All the best to my teacher friends for a great school year!

ā€œSolidarity Foreverā€ is an important anthem representative of the North American labor movement. It was written in 1915 by Ralph Chaplin, an organizer, writer, and artist for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW, or ā€œWobbliesā€). For over half a century, Solidarity Forever has been sung on picket lines, at union halls, and during protests across Canada, the US and worldwide. The version featured in this video is sung by Pete Seeger.

Mentioned in this video are: ETFO Educators ETFO Halton Local Carol Moores

I am feeling like šŸ’© and unfortunately had to close the store today (and yesterday) as a result. That’s what happens when you’re a small business and don’t have a roster of employees on stand by waiting to come in and cover you. Apologies to anyone who may have been disappointed that I wasn’t open. I cannot get any sicker and I needed to work on getting healthy today instead of working in the store. Thank you for understanding.

Yesterday was the annual Merrickville Antique Show & Sale down at the Merrickville Fairgrounds.

When events take place at the Fairgrounds (especially ones like this) we get extra busy.

People have to drive/walk by our place (located on the REAL MAIN ST…!) to attend Fairgrounds events and then we get to benefit from the increased traffic.

Saturday was also a gorgeous day and Merrickville (being a ā€˜solar powered’ village) was hopping with tourists.

When the weather is nice people venture off St Lawrence (a Main Street, but not the REAL MAIN ST.) and walk around and discover us. (When it’s busy they’re also forced to park down here and then have to go by our place as well…)

Whatever the reason, we had an amazingly busy day and we appreciate everyone who came out to shop small and support local. Thank you!

Please note that we have an eclectic mix of old and new. Anything new we stock is CANADIAN MADE and we carry many things you can make yourself.

Sold items featured in this reel are from the following Canadian makers: comb by
Yukon Plastics, pewter canoe by Basic Spirit, campfire poker by Ken Adam’s, stickers and pins by carolyndraws | Cards for Real Life , maple syrup by Christopher du Pree , dried lavender sachet by Lavender Mills Farm | Lavender & Specialty Pumpkins , heart embroidery Kit by Hook Line & Tinker , carve your own soapstone dragon kit by Studiostone Creative , make your own ā€˜This & That’ bag by Genius Premium Craft Boxes , tiny ceramic cats by Dariia Dziuba , cat sticker pack by DesignCorner , ā€˜Curated Collection’ containing incense by shy wolf // eco-friendly soy candles and incense burner by A Girl And Her Puppy Pottery Studio , puzzle by TheOccurrence ā› Jigsaw Puzzles , bracelets and earrings made from pennies by Lost Things Artisan Jewelry , handmade watercolour paintstones by Beam Paints, miscellaneous vintage items sourced by All the Things - Merrickville

If you happened by our place yesterday and saw something that piqued your interest (eg. the gorgeous secretary desk at the end of the driveway), but didn’t pick it out. Please drop me a line and I’ll let you know if it’s still available. (As we live here, we can also be open by appointment.)

Thanks again!

Taking a closer look at one of Beam Paints’ Great Lakes Watercolour Palettes.

ā€œThe beautiful shape of the Great Lakes carved into pine and filled with 5 colors evoking the power and majesty of this amazing fount holding 1/5 of the world fresh water. Palette can be sent back to the (Beam Paints) shop for refills, or let it become a beautiful piece of art as it becomes brighter and bluer by use! šŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’™ Colors include: Lake Superior, Lake Huron Teal, Wintery Night, Robins Egg and Glacial Rivers. Pine palettes are sealed with beeswax and made by Corbiere Lumber an Indigenous Forestry company in M’Chigeeng First Nation.ā€ (From the Beam Paint website.)

The 5 Great Lakes are:
-Lake Superior
-Lake Michigan
-Lake Huron
-Lake Erie
-Lake ONTARIO

Beam Paints are high-quality lightfast pigments combined with natural binders like gum arabic, maple sap, and Manitoulin honey. The professional grade watercolours and gouache are hand made on Manitoulin Island by an indigenous family owned and women led business using eco friendly materials.

Getting some stuff ready for this weekend’s Antique Show and Sale down at the Merrickville Fairgrounds. Saturday August 29th 10-5pm. By the way - when you’re wondering why vendors price things the way they do, please take into account the time and energy they spend sourcing, cleaning, repairing, researching, pricing, merchandising etc. and take those things into account. Have a good one!

TGIF? All the Things! Seeing Artisanal Canadian Seed Paper and playing with my new card rack was the highlight of the day! The BS Award goes to the damn wasps in my Little Free Library. (Does anyone else have that problem?) Bringing all that stuff in and out from the porch every time I’m open is the only exercise I get these days. Gotta work off my Violets On Main Village Bakery somehow. I picked up that awesome shirt from The Local Life HAMILTON one time when I was back in Hamilton. (We used to live down the street on Chatham and I like to visit my old ā€˜hood.)
