Junco Studio

#insteading of buying new fabric to make a plumbing equipment duffle bag, I dug into my used textiles stash. I found thick, durable upholstery samples and yardage of a synthetic fabric for the exterior. The how-artists-pay-bills side of creating 😝have an excellent day!! #dowhatyoucanwithwhatyouhave #upcycling #plumbing #workfromhome

I'm excited to announce that "ShopJuncoStudio" is evolving on Etsy! It's been a long-overdue desire of mine to set up an online shop, and it's especially important now that I am rotating between living in Coquitlam, BC & Palm Desert, CA.

Please help improve ShopJuncoStudio by letting me know if you find any errors or omissions, or if you have difficulty navigating the listings. I'll be adding 3-4 items daily (as it is quite time-consuming), so check in often. Warmest regards, Lynda 🥰

📣 Vendor Spotlight 📣

Meet Lynda, the creator of Junco Studio!

Lynda personally creates Art & Upcycled objects while promoting the idea of INSTEADING - a lifestyle where one actively choses to grow, nurture, upcycle and beautify with available materials instead of purchasing new.

She creates an eclectic assortment of handmade items including (but not limited to) aprons, bags, coin purses, watercolour art, greeting cards and seedlings.

“I cherish being a grandmother of 8, love watercolour painting, growing food in our front yard, learning new creative skills, sharing those skills with others. I was a chef competitor on the Food Network show, Chopped Canada, where I had to make meals with mystery basket ingredients.”

Annaleigh & Connor (2 of our grandchildren) will be vendors at the Port Moody Farmers Market this Wednesday evening from 3-7pm

Meet the makers of our summer edit of the Kids Market, taking place at the Port Moody Farmers Market this Wednesday from 3pm-7pm. Our annual Kid's Market showcases young entrepreneurs while giving them an opportunity to experience what it's like to be a vendor for the day, sell their own creations and develop valuable skills. We invite all our customers to come support our local young entrepreneurs. It's always a fun filled day for the whole family. Hope to see you there!

Giving my crocheted pieces “titles” 😜
