I’m so excited to be a part of this month’s Beggars Banquet again; I had to skip out on the last one because it was the same weekend as the wedding. I felt a bit crammed in my little corner when I was there in March, so I asked for the center stage this time around and got it! Now I’m just dreaming up all the ways to fill it — trying to forget how I’ve seen others set it up before and do something all my own. As I’m collecting up all my stock and display pieces, I’m just feeling really honored that the lovely Meghan Patterson seems as excited to have me as I am to be there. If you’re around Gastown this Friday or Saturday, please stop in, grab a drink, and wander the stalls of all the beautiful vendors she’s brought together.
