9 Feb

PurpleMacaronsBakersMarket

The Baker’s Market is back for the Spring!  The first of 7 dates get under way Sunday, February 16th.  This much loved and well attended event took a hiatus this past fall while organizer, Connie, flew off to France.  She spent six months doing some intensive baking, studying and tastings to earn a Diplome de Patisserie from Le Cordon Blue in Paris, France.  Congratulations Connie!

If you haven’t attended this Baker’s Market, it is a community based event that brings out baking enthusiasts, pastry students, mommy bakers as well as budding entrepreneurs.  Each week you will find different bakers on hand offering a wide array of baked goods. Some of the delicious things you will find include exquisite French macarons by J’adore les Macarons, delicious lemons squares from The Lemon Square and delectable baked breads from the The Bread Lab. Other vendors on hand include Andrea’s Oven, GI Jane with Healthy Treats for hungry foodies and the ladies from Petit Four Pastries plus of course many more.  Each week has different vendors, so the offerings will be a bit different each time, but the types of goodies you can expect to find include organic muffins, brownies, handmade chocolates, Belgian waffles, scones, preserves, breads, tarts, granola and much more. If you have something specific you’d like, I do recommend you arrive early.

The Baker’s Market will be held at Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre, 7646 Prince Albert Street (60th & Fraser).  Admission to the market is free, there is ample parking and my favourite part, lots of samples! So come out and support your local talented creative bakers.   If you this miss the kick off Sunday, February 16th, not to worry, there will be 6 more markets on February 23rd, March 2nd,  March 9th,  April 20th, April 27th and May 4th. The market runs from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each Sunday.

VintageClothingMarketBiltmore

This is not your everyday vintage market. ICONs which is being presented by Duchesse Vintage and the Eastside Flea is being billed as a ‘cool flea market’. There will be over 40 vendors including some collectors thrown into the mix. The theme of ICONS “represents the racy subculture of modern vintage lifestyle – easy livin’, freedom, counterculture, psychedelia, design & style cues from the best of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s & a bit of early 90’s cultural icons”. Think “Keith Richards, Bridget Bardot, Iggy, Twiggy, Andy Warhol, Jane Birkin, Farrah Fawcett, Madonna, Steve McQueen, Patti Smith, Townes Van Zandt”.  At ICONS, you can expect to find some psychedelic posters, antiques, records, taxidermy, retro lamps as well as small furniture, cameras and a bit of this and that as well as change rooms for trying on clothing.  You can also expect to find a photo booth, drink specials and DJ Elliot Way spinning tunes from the 60s and 70s.   The event is being held at the Biltmore Cabaret, 2755 Prince Edward Street. With its legendary red-velvet décor seems like a perfect fit for this event.  ICONS gets under way at 11:00 am and goes till 5:00 pm.  This event is for 19+.
