Vendor Profile: Little Bird Patisserie & Cafe {Food Vendor}

Little Bird Pâtisserie & Café has been open for just over 2 years.  Since our opening, our focus has been French and French inspired food, including macaron, croissants, tarts, eclairs and cream puffs, cookies, soups, salads, and sandwiches. We love to bake from scratch, and while we have regular items, we keep our creativity flowing with additional sweet and savoury creations.  We are honoured to have been named one of Canada’s top 20 bakeries (Huffington Post).  Once again, this summer, we are offering our full-of-yummy-goodness picnic basket to add to your summer memories.

Did you know we cater?  We cater anything from lunches to large special events.  If you can dream it, we will work with you to develop your dream – big or small.

We offer free wifi and have many tables next to electrical outlets for those long study sessions, work meetings, or your ‘me time’.

Little Bird Pâtisserie & Café is honoured to be part of the vibrant Riversdale neighborhood located at the corner of Avenue B and 20th Street in the historic Adilman Building.  We are open 7 days per week – Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm, and Sunday 10am to 4pm (watch for extended summer hours in the near future!).

Find us on Facebook or Instagram by landing on the homepage of our website (which, is under construction, but will get you to Facebook and Instagram) – www.thelittlebird.ca.  Our phone number is 306.384.4663.

Vendor Profile: Swish & Craft

Hey! My name is Savannah Pinsent. By day, I am a courier and I craft every single spare moment I get. I work under the name "Swish and Craft" The word "swish" is a word that my mom and her friend made up when they were in elementary school. Swishing means relaxing and taking time for yourself, in my case it is usually with a thread in needle in my hand, in oversized PJ's with my two teeny chihuahuas, Todd and Daryl and watching horrible reality TV. I have been doing embroidery for a few years now. I recently started taking sewing classes as well and hope to learn some new skills to put my embroidery on (as if my craft room wasn't full enough already...) My embroidery work generally showcases my sassy and sometimes sarcastic attitude. I really like to make people laugh and I think that is something I achieve through my hoop art! Along with embroidery, I also sell handmade polymer clay magnets of junk food and other little goodies that I make a long the way. I have been lucky enough to do a couple of Flock and Gather's shows in the past and it is always so lovely to see all your faces and be part of the crafty community here in Saskatoon! It is a really great one. Feel free to follow me on instagram! @shittyweekend

Vendor Profile: Rachael Kroeker Ceramics

Based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, I am a ceramic artist who specializes in contemporary tableware/ home decor for daily use and admiration. This line of sleek modern pottery has a wonderful balance between design, comfort and beauty. I work with casting slip (liquid clay) and plaster moulds and combine black and white porcelain together. Each piece is 100% unique with no two marbling affects ever being the same, and the exterior is sanded multiple times to achieve a supple matte finish. Along with this line of pottery find air plant holders and ceramic decor to add a modern twist to wall art and garden accents.
