Canadianism

With Vancouver/Canada welcoming the world to our backyard next week for the 2010 Winter Olympics. I’m all for the purchasing 2010 gear but I’d rather support our local stores and companies then purchase something like those famous red mitts that aren’t made here in Canada.
3H Craftworks Society a non-profit organization that is a craft therapy program for adults with disabilities and has been in the heart of Kitsilano since 1966. The 3H used to stand for Handcrafts by the Home-bound, Handicapped until it was changed to 3H Craftworks in the mid 1990′s.
3H Craftworks came up with these Maple Leaf Hand Puppets for us Vancouverites/Canadians to show our support during the games (as well on Canada Day). These felt hand puppets are only $5.95 and are selling out fast. The store is located at 2208 West 4th Ave, Vancouver or call Joann at 604.736.2113
Have you gotten yours yet?
John and a few others bloggers have already spotted them around town.

cute! what a great idea
This is so awesome! A thing about those Olympic red mittens is that they pill (VERY badly) after going through the wash once =/ My sister was disheartened about it since she got them as a gift and only washed them once. These hand puppets are definitely cute though, and I’m going to see if I can get to that store to get them =)
