There was a LOT of activity in the neighbourhood last weekend. In addition to the snow – finally! – it was the weekend for holiday gatherings of neighbours and holiday sales hosted at three locations across the neighbourhood.
Little City Farm hosted the first outdoor version of their popular Little Bird Told Me eco craft sale. Enchanting! Like a miniature Christkindl market. With warm apple cider and people to talk to every ten steps, it was the perfect way to usher in winter & the festive holiday season.
A magical night to meet and connect with neighbours from near & far. The Little Bird Told Me holiday sale at Little City Farm is always a focal point and a highlight of the neighbourhood festive season.
Meanwhile, over at the neighbourhood Christmas party, it looked like a production line! Personal items, snacks, mittens and hats were packed into “stockings” decorated with well wishes and greetings to participants at St. John’s Kitchen. Seriously, don’t miss this next year!
This is the heart of the stocking packaging factory – it runs like a well-oiled machine with Steve & Ingrid at the helm!
Just a portion of the 144 “stockings” filled by midtown Mount Hope neighbours!
Happy Holidays, indeed!
Mark demonstrating his counting technique – perfect count!
144 stockings filled in under two hours – whew!!
144 stockings filled in under two hours!
Clean up time… it’s a good indicator of community when everyone sticks around for the cleaning up. An amazing group effort!

Leave the vacuuming to the one who loves power tools đŸ™‚
Over at the Cloud White Collective at the corner of Waterloo & Duke, artist Meg Leslie & friends kept things were dreamy & delicious!
The hydro poles around the neighbourhood are a great way to share event notices! This was the first year for the Enchanted Christmas Market at the KW Artist Co-op which was very successful!
