Helene Lacelle inside the hand made yurt.

Off we go to Almonte Ontario, about 40 minutes from Ottawa to see 'BUTTON MANIA' and 'FIBERFEST'. Curator Lacelle brought some of the galleries latest arrivals. I love buttons! Tons of antique, glass, early depression bakelite and some new buttons all for sale at ok prices. FiberFest on the other hand held at various locations in the historic town of Almonte was kind of low energy except for my friend Joan Alexander selling her exquisitely cobbled quilt jackets.

The St-Charbel Maronite Church in Ottawa held it's 17th annual 'Gathering Around The Virgin Mary Fair' this weekend. What a delight it was discovering it by accident while biking down Donald street on my way back from Dollarama, yesterday. Man, you want a fair with lots of good food and lots of fun things to look at this is it. And of course if you are inclined to rest your thoughts and soul for a moment and pray to the Virgin Mary.

Dewi welcomes you inside.

Moop Museum is the sweetest museum on Craven St. It's almost like being at the cottage but without the water, boat, beach and bugs. I hear the crack-house down the street was shut down, so that's nice.
