Empty Bowls Festival

After face-painting at the Empty Bowls Festival in Airdrie

Walking home after the Empty Bowls Festival

My new bracelet- its hand beaded!

My mom and I went to the Empty Bowls Festival in Airdrie today. It is a fundraiser for the food bank, so they sell beautiful bowls, soup and tons of artists come to show and sell their work. It is held in Nose Creek park and they have wonderful music. We both had a wonderful time and I got a bowl- we do every year- and I had to get this hand-beaded bracelet from an artist named Sally Banks. You can see her beautiful work at http://beaudangles.wordpress.com/. Another artist there was Samreen Junaid. She did henna at my last birthday party. I sadly did not get henna done, but hopefully I will soon. The face painting that you saw at the top was done by Anita Singh. She was a high school art teacher in Pakistan. She is really good! I hope you enjoyed your day as much as I did!
