When you arrived at Re-Read Used Books on December 7th, the most incredible young man was there who enthusiastically shared the board games he has created. Tristan develops board games in his ‘spare’ time and his most recent is ‘The Monsters That Come to Life’ that he was proud to display. His brother is talented as well, although not present, Tristan was quick to share that, “Aidan is a poet and puzzle maker” and he presented Aidan’s book of poetry and a puzzle of Canada his brother had created.
The craft market took place next door to Re-Read at Main Street Café where Jon had kindly offered space for the event. Ray owner of Re-Read says, “Jon is the one of the best neighbours a business could have!” In light of the many events happening in Stittsville, there was a constant flow of visitors to both Re-Read and the Christmas market.
The majority of the seven artisans participating in the market have authored books and combined those with some of the artistic crafts they also had created for the event. Hence the name – Christmas Bookish Craft Market – because as you know there has to be a book included somehow.
