Summer Magic



Then Summer came, around by June
With beauty, miracle and mirth.

She hung aloft the rounding moon,
She poured her sunshine on the earth,
She drove the sap and broke the bud,

She set the crimson rose afire.
She stirred again my sullen blood,
And waked in me a new desire.
Before my cottage door she spread
The softest carpet nature weaves,
And deftly arched above my head
A canopy of shady leaves.

SUMMER MAGIC

Ahhhh Summer...Who doesn't love this season?
(Perhaps only Goths actually...)

Long light filled days spent basking in the glow of the warmth of the sun with friends & family. Beaches, patio's, front lawns, backyards, parks...you name it just get out there and enjoy it!


It's really the time of year where so much is happening outside, wether is be 
street & music festivals, picnics, BBQ's, 
Seawall excursions...(for all you Vancouverites)

In fact, every Summer, Adhesif Clothing takes part in 3 different outdoor festivals, all of which are
very worthy of checking out. 

First up is Main Street's Car Free Day 
happening this Sunday June 21st from 11am-7pm
Find the Canvas Handmade Group between 22nd & 23rd on Main Street



If you missed the Nifty for Fifty sale this past April then this will be your last chance to get some SUPER SWEET Vintage reworks for DIRT CHEAP!
We will be selling 
EVERYTHING at Car Free 
between
 $5-$40!!
WOW!

Last but not least...3 days after the Circle Craft Summer Market ends we head off to Vancouver Island to the beautiful area of Comox to show our stuff at 
The Filberg Festival! 



What a treat! We love this show! 
If you haven't checked out this event before I highly recommend doing so!
Set among the trees & gardens in the beautiful Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park, this Artisan Market and music festival is truly unique. 

Wander through the grounds surrounded by beautiful gardens and magnificent views of Comox Harbour and the Beaufort Mountain Range.


Find Adhesif Clothing at booth #49

I have to tell you, I LOVE the Volunteers at the Filberg Festival!
They are SO lovely!
They greet the vendors every morning with fresh coffee & baked goods!
WOW! 
What a wonderful way to end the Summer Market Circuit...this is definitely what I call a work-ation

Well there we have it!
I hope to see you all at 1 if not all 3 events this Summer!
Whatever you get up to have fun & enjoy yourselves!
