#InTheVillage on False Creek Part 31: Portobello West

Welcome to In The Village on False Creek , a unique project inspired by Live@YVR and 365 Days of Dining .

The Village on False Creek Welcome to In The Village on False Creek, a unique project inspired by Live@YVR and 365 Days of Dining. I've moved my family into this community with my mission being to showcase the myriad of things that make it awesome by bringing you a weekly scoop!

This weekend marks the one year anniversary of Portobello West holding their seasonal market at Creekside Community Centre in the Village. Named BEST ARTISAN/CRAFT FAIR in the Georgia Straight's Best Of Vancouver 2012, the market is open tomorrow, Sunday September 23rd, from 11AM-5PM. Come on down and visit! 1 Athletes Way is the address.

Their FACEBOOK PAGE is a wealth of information about the current vendors, in fact I don't know if I've ever seen anyone make better use of the platform to keep folks up to date on what to expect.

I went down mid-afternoon with my son, Arlo, to check out this award-winning fair.

Some of my favourite vendors included Nostalgic Links who make all sorts of cufflinks from Canucks themed to Lego...

Urge Chocolates was there handing out free samples, definitely a hit...

One of the nice folks who runs the market, Lexi Soukoreff, does her own line called Daub + Design who have a couple of pieces that won me over...

Green With Envy does interesting textile designs and these sweet terrariums as well as other floral creations...

Last but not least Designer Cookies were on hand selling much awesomeness...

Admission is $2 and it runs from 11AM-5PM on Sunday, September 23rd. See you there!
