My friend sent me some information about this amazing event, here are some tips from her for the event:
Sat only- doors open at 10am.
Some helpful info:
-There is a $2 cover that goes to supporting the youth girl programs that Ladyfest puts on (like teaching young girls how to play instruments and boost self-esteem).
-There is ALWAYS a line up, so I suggest going around 11 so you don’t wait around. There will still be lots of stuff there for you!
-There are lots of wonderful restaurants in the area for breakfast, lunch or dinner and it’s a great thing to do with a friend.
-If you are in need of a unique gift, here is where you’ll find it (Mother’s day is May 9!). I am always complimented on things I get there.
-Bring cash. There are a few banks on Elgin. Some vendors take Credit cards, but it’s individual.
-Lots of small residential streets around for parking.

For several years I have been frequenting a graffiti wall in Ottawa to document the wall and the amazing art that is there. The wall is located in a park at the corner of Bronson and Slater. Read the rest of this entry »

At lunch I saw this cool street art installation dealing with the topic of Swine Flu – I thought it was really cool and wanted to post it on my blog. I don’t know the artist but if anyone does please let me know so I can give them credit for their creative work!

When I was a little girl growing up my friend’s and I started the “Green Club” – we had various activities that we used to do but part of that club was that we all loved the New Kids on the Block, aka NKOTB, (that being said, I think some liked them more than others). Read the rest of this entry »
