Since 2011 my mother Peggy and I have sold our original hand-made puppets as part of the vendors market at the Puppets Up festival in Almonte, Ontario, in addition to other vendor events. The above photo is from the 2015 Puppets Up Festival. Peggy is holding up Georgie the Chubby Monster, a new toy puppet for that year. Please see our Schedule of Upcoming Events.
Please Note: In order to focus on other creative projects I am currently taking a break from doing vendor events. If you wish to purchase a puppet please email me. Thank you kindly.

All of our puppets are original designs with new characters added to the assortment each year. In addition to Puppets Up we have been a vendor at the Ravenswing Arts and Music Fair in Ottawa since 2014. Here are the website links for both events:
Puppets Up Festival (occurs annually in early August): Puppets Up website
Ravenswing Arts and Music Fair (occurs annually in May): Ravenswing website
I've presented the history of the Puppets Up Festival on another page of this blog.
