Well we didn't have free tix and I blew it, I didn't know Bruce Cockburn was going to be there. :( but we wouldn't have been there that late...we never stay too late..but it would have been great...
Anyways, next year maybe we will volunteer...
We had a really nice time, we rode our bikes there and looked at all the goodies in the back. You can still hear the music a bit.
The Fairies Pyjamas is a clothing brand of unique clothing and accessories.
Designer
and Owner, Michelle Lynn Johnson works with a FAIR TRADE manufacturing
facility in Nepal to produce her designs and ideas.
Inspiration for this
ever-evolving project has grown from music festivals, travelling and
the notion of sustainable consumer culture. Now more then ever,
consumers can use their buying power to support what they believe in.
Fairies Pjs designs help skilled Nepalese workers support their
families, increase their living standards, and work in an environment
with enforced health and safety standards.
When you support FAIR TRADE you support the health and dignity of all people.
We went to Folk Fest on Friday night and well we had to go back today because Angel saw a jacket she just had to have. One minute I had this perfectly happy cherub, next minute she was miserable.
All it took was to see the most beautiful jacket the fits absolutely perfect and then to be told, no sorry we can't get it right now. But it all worked out. Thanks so much to Fairies Pyjamas, we had a lot of fun visiting again today to pick up the jacket and make this video of all the fun. Thanks again!!
For all of you, whether you have a ticket or not, the back side of the Festival is where all the venders are and they have gorgeous items at incredible prices. You have to stop by Fairies Pyjamas if you are looking for something unique and especially if you love fairies like we do ;)
They are there all this afternoon and tonight and then all tomorrow so be sure to stop by. Tell them Tina and Angel send you and you saw it on her blog or twitter or FB...where ever!!
Get Down There!! Don't miss out. You can go down to the beach and have a nice picnic and watch the sunset and you can still hear all the music. It's really lovely. Ride your bike along the new Jericho /Point Grey bus pass, it's awesome. Love it so much!!
Fair
Trade Initiatives: "It is one thing to give money to charity, and
another level to teach someone skills for employment. Thats why I
believe in this project". FairyMichelle, owner of Fairies Pjs,
interviews Dil Kumari, a rescued Nepali youth from modern day slavery.
Dil is the manager of the skills training facility established by the
Fair Trade company The Fairies Pjs has our clothing produced with. When you purchase/support/share FP, you're helping to make a difference
in the lives of the people of Nepal who assemble our garments
