Island Elixir Tea Company
This time of year, life starts moving so fast it is easy to forget to tend the spark that makes you feel alive. As a mom of two and entrepreneur in my 40's I completely understand what it's like when 'one more thing' blurs into the next. It's so easy to keep running and ignore what you crave. That's exactly why I craft micro-batch teas infused with intention and Reiki energy. Because I believe your cup of tea should be more than just a drink. It should be a moment where, in just five minutes, you feel connected, grounded and ready for what's next. Where Steeping Calm becomes the fuel that keeps your spark alive. I invite you to come experience Tea with Intention and find your moment of calm this holiday season.

Smart Sip Cream Co.
Meet Ashlyn! She lives in Colwood and created Smart Sip. Smart Sip is a coconut oil based powdered creamer that has only 25 calories and 3g of fiber per serving. It is sugar free, gluten free, lactose-free and designed with your goals in mind. You get to skip the junk but never miss out on 100% creamy goodness.
As a nutrition coach she saw a gap in the food & beverage industry as more than 90% of people aren't getting enough fibre, which plays a huge role in their health and weight loss goals. Sugary drinks that people consume leave them sluggish, struggling with their energy levels and elevating their hunger. She wanted to create a product that still gave them that delicious drink without all of the nasty side-effects.
Not a coffee or tea drinker? That’s ok! Smart Sip can be used in yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, shakes, pancake mix, pudding, on fruit, in Creamis, dirty sodas and more! It's the smarter way to start your day.
Smart Sip Cream Co. also carries frothers, camper mugs and their popular "I thought I liked coffee, turns out I like creamer" branded sweatshirt that will be worn in the Dragon’s Den audition this upcoming spring.

Our family consists of the main artist, Chelsea (Mum), the assembly master David (Dad) and the nature collectors Charlie & Benji (kids aged 6&8).

I LOVE working on this business, I love interacting with you all, and I love being creative. I love seeing your ideas, and how I can make them come to life. I surprise myself over and over, and pinch myself when I see a completed project. So thank you for supporting me, my dream, and my family

Pins & Needles Craftworks
I do a wide variety of Christmas Ornaments, Felted gnomes and other items, Cat and Dog Stockings and toys, fabric arts, feather nesters, and assorted novelty xmas earrings.
Insect Craft
A fascination with insects has led to the creation of these pieces. The class Insecta is vast and varied; rich with shapes, sizes, colors and metamorphosis. This is the result of years of experimentation with an epoxy compound and a variety of materials. Wire, stone, film and metallic powders are fixed into the medium before it sets. Each one is individually sculpted and diabolically detailed, right down to the antennae. The appendages are flexible and embedded through the cement, finished with a protective coating for durability. These critters are comfortable just about anywhere – the garden hat, the jacket lapel or lounging on a lampshade. Jewelry with shock value… never met with indifference, responses ranging from a shudder to a squeal of delight. Enjoy!
Oldfield Gnomes
I have lived in the Prospect Lake area most of my life and have been a customer of your lovely nursery for decades. I've been making soft indoor gnomes for a couple of years now.
I had my first ever market at your place last year and had an absolute blast! It was so much fun and I'm very grateful that you have allowed me to return this year.
My gnomes this year are, what I call, new and improved versions from last year. There are a lot of various forms of gnomes everywhere these days but I've never seen anything like what I make. So my table will be something new for everyone's viewing pleasure
