Items from gems and rompers to handmade liquor can be found to browse and buy at Nanaimo's Handmade Spring Makers Market.
All items are original, designed and made by the artisan in Canada.
"Embracing Canadian handmade items is all about celebrating the joy and love poured into crafting each piece," noted an event flyer. "It's a delightful way to cherish one-of-a-kind treasures, knowing they're made with heart and soul."
There is also a photo booth, face-painting by donation, a kids' activity area and a flower pinwheel scavenger hunt.
The market is being held at the Beban Park Social Centre from Friday, May 2, to Sunday, May 4. The market is open Friday until 8 p.m., on Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
