Marie, Michigan. She worked in North Bay for about 10 years before moving to Toronto for work. She now resides in the north Richmond Hill area.<br \/>\nShe has always been a creative person. Even as a child she was making items such as knitted scarves, cross-stitch, baked goods and wood worked creations.<br \/>\nA few years ago, she began to attend craft shows as a vendor during the Christmas season. Having several cats and being an avid animal lover, Wendy was inspired to create Creatures of Comfort Creations. She began making handmade wooden deluxe pet beds for cats and small dogs and sold them mostly online. She also makes catnip infused toys for cats and several dog accessories which she will feature at the indoor markets on October 29 and December 10 at the historic Aurora Armoury.<br \/>\nEspecially for the holiday season, Wendy makes a variety of gifts-in-a-jar, which consists of mason jars filled with dry baked goods\u2019 ingredients along with the recipes. These make wonderful hostess, teacher or co-worker gifts. She will also feature hot chocolate gift sets, BBQ rub spice sets and pink Himalayan salt gifts. In addition, she will have homemade (canned) salsa, cranberry applesauce and fresh Roasted Butternut Squash soup in jars to take home. The soup will be available to sample at the Market.<br \/>\nWendy says that she loves to travel whenever she can, especially to destinations with warm white sand beaches. However, when not travelling, Wendy will accept orders for the holiday season from those who are interested.<br \/>\nThe farmers who are expected to be at the October 29 indoor market include: 19th Avenue Farm, the Abbott Family Farm, Oakridges Finest, Beaver River Organics and Pioneer Brand Honey.<br \/>\nAmong the food vendors, will be: Catharina\u2019s Kitchen, Creatures of Comfort, Green River Coffee, Guilt Free Goodness, Jan\u2019s Country Pantry, John Abraham, Nerpy\u2019s Inc., Nicolle\u2019s Cakes and Nutmeg Bakeshop.<br \/>\nThe artisan\u2019s will include: Captain Ted;s Knick-Knack-a Tory, Creepy Tours, Eurasia Jewellery, Eva Nagy, Green Leaf Designs, Kibo Natural Body Care, Limitless Jewels, Michelle Zikovitz, Out of My Mind, The Bear\u2019s Den and Wood U.<br \/>\nWe will also have another new vendor who will be offering chair massages and a Girl Guide group selling their famous cookies.<br \/>\nFor this special Hallowe\u2019en themed day at the market, we will be featuring one of our own, David Heard, spinning appropriate music from his own vinyl collection. It will be exciting and different from anything we have done before.<br \/>\nThere will be a treat for each child who arrives wearing a costume, Hallowe\u2019en treats in general and Hallowe\u2019en themed crafts for the children. This promises to be an especially fun day so do plan to visit the indoor market in the Armoury on Saturday, October 29, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.<br \/>\nSee you at the Market!<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F15641&amp;t=Market%20Musings&amp;s=100&amp;p[url]=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F15641&amp;p[images][0]=&amp;p[title]=Market%20Musings\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F15641&amp;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Market%20Musings&amp;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F15641\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jan Freedman There will be a new vendor for you to meet at our next indoor market on October 29: our Hallowe\u2019en Party at the Armoury.
