The Wilderness of Manitoba
The Wilderness of Manitoba played at the Company House for the Halifax Pop Explosion last Thursday. I told everyone I knew about the show and brought along as many friends as we could fit into our taxi. Other friends who'd already seen them spread the word as well. I've seen them play a couple of times already and am invariably moved by how beautiful they sound:
They played with Acres & Acres, Christina Martin, and Erin Costelo.

Needle Roll Redux
Kate is a good friend, who happens to be a fellow knitter. She visited me while I was living in Toronto this summer and, among other things, we went to Lettuce Knit. She picked up a needle roll and might have bought it, but I offered to make her one for her birthday if she a) promised not to buy herself one and b) forgot that I offered. She turned 25 last week. So, using bespoke uprising fat quarters, I made one for her this afternoon. Thankfully we're celebrating her birthday tomorrow. Otherwise, I'd be late.

First Saturday morning in Halifax
Saturday mornings are market mornings in Halifax.
I passed a yard sale down the street this morning and saw a sturdy picnic basket in amongst the other sundries. I walked past it, because I didn't want to have to walk back home to drop it off, but then turned around when I realised: hey, I'm going to the market, I can bring the basket with me and use it straight away. So, I went back, happily found out it was only three dollars, and bought it.
The market was exceptionally busy today. I spent far too long waiting in the crepe line and missed my chance to buy croissants.
I did, however, find all sorts of other harvest bounty and managed to fill my new basket before I left.
