2010 - CELEBRATING THE 17th ANNUAL WOMEN'S WINTER FAIRE

This popular annual Women's Winter Faire is not your typical crafts fair. Housed in a beautiful old heritage building with large columns and high ceiling, the Women's Winter Faire has gained a solid reputation over the past 16 years for the quality, beauty, and uniqueness of gifts and products for sale, made by many of BC's gifted women artisans, artists and craftswomen from Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and BC's interior.

The Faire has a bustling village market atmosphere, where friends meet, browse and shop, and stop at the in-house cafe for coffee and a delicious paninni or desserts to die for. It's the place to be the last weekend of November, and the weekend before Christmas. New and returning vendors each weekend! Look for eco-friendly wares, recycled materials made into one-of-a kind pieces of jewelery and clothing. Shop locally! Support BC women artisans! See you at the Faire!!

WHERE: Heritage Hall, 3102 Main Street @ East 15th Ave, Vancouver
WHEN: Saturday & Sunday, 11 am to 6 pm
November 27 & 28 and December 18 & 19, 2010

Quotes from Happy Participating Craftswomen and Fairegoers!

"Not like any other Faire I've been to; it's my first but not last visit!"

"This is my favorite event each year; I wouldn't miss it"

"I do 23 shows a year but this was one of the best organized, relaxed and well attended and friendly people willing to help each other. I WILL DO BOTH SHOWS NEXT YEAR." Maria

"I loved vendoring this craft market and knowing it is also contributing to a worthy organization is great. I found the quality of vendors to be the best I had seen... there was a real sense of camaraderie amongst the vendors and staff. My jewellery did really well and I got such positive feedback from people that inspired and encouraged me. Thank you." Irit Sorokin
