Winter Wonders 2013, in photos

We are all just barely coming up for air after the amazing show that was Winter Wonders. The five of us put so very many hours into making these markets happen, and to see it pay off with a record number of the nicest shoppers in Saskatoon (2500+!!!), the positive feedback from our vendors, and just the good, local vibe that makes this city magical, well, it makes all that hard work totally worth it.  From set up to take down, here is some Winter Wonders eye candy!

So thank you. From the bottom of our craft-lovin' hearts. We truly think that everyone involved in this show is amazing, and now we get to bask in the warm fuzzies and take a well deserved break over Christmas. See you again in the New Year Saskatoon!
