Etsy Made in Canada Day!

On September 27th, 2014, more than 35 cities will be gathering to promote their handmade items and vintage finds. Our Vancouver Island location will be at the beautiful Nanaimo Museum.

Cheryl and I will have our A2Sea Creations table set up there so stop by and say hi!  We will have a few of the same kind of beachy items we usually sell on our site, but we are also creating a few new surprises!  

I (Micki) will also be helping out at our Etsy Information table, which I am excited about and honoured to have been asked.  If you like what you see and are interested in opening your own Etsy shop, we can help you with that and give you some great tips.

Spread the word! Get onboard! Invite your friends! This is a wonderful opportunity for people everywhere to hear about Etsy and to discover the amazing talent we have on Vancouver Island.

CHEK News will be there and there is a dynamo team of gals organizing and marketing this event. There will also be cocktails, appies and music.

This is going to be very exciting! For more info, see (and join!) our team's Event Page on Facebook!

A2Sea's First Farmer's Market

Fun At The Market - PhotoArt by Micki Findlay

Cheryl and I had a great time at the Errington Farmer's Market on Saturday, taking in all the sights, sounds and aromas and enjoying all the friendly people. It was a delightful day with so much to look at and experience. We were very encouraged by all the compliments we received on our products. We have decided to return as often as we can.

We put up our wonderful new banner, designed and created by my talented son, Matt, who has a graphic design business in Roseburg, Oregon called Inerseshen Creative Media. Thank you son!

Last Minute Details

Ahoy Mateys!

Our very first local fair is almost here and we are madly but happily wrapping up all those last minute details before the big day! So much to think about... signs and pricing and displays and tags and bags and wrapping paper and tables and chairs and a canopy and a float and a banner... and so on and so on and so on... On that note, I would be remiss not to mention our fantastic 10 foot banner that my son Matt at Inerseshen Creative Media designed and created for us. It is truly a work of art and we will be ever so proud to display it! Thank you son!

We hope to 'sea' you all there mateys! Saturday, May 9th from 8 am to 2 pm at 2443 Alberni Hwy in Coombs. If you are traveling west, pass the Coombs Market, go over the bridge and on your right, at the Independant Marine Store, you will see our table set up with other local sellers of nautical treasures! Mom's Day is the next day so come prepared to find many one of a kind, ocean-themed gifts for your mom and sweetheart! We will have plenty for Dad's day, also!

Okay...now where was I? Tags and bags and....
