Hello, In light of local shopping for Christmas and doing it through active transportation, I love the artist, Karen Johannsson who used to be on Lipton street in Wolsley but is now on Clifton Street near Portage Ave. Very accessible by transportation but call before hand to ensure she is open. I have sent her art all over Canada (light weight and easy to pack) as well as the United States. She even has Batik cards that are cheap enough for those $10 work gift exchange parties.

Happy Holidays! Cyndi Otfinowski

Hope you don't mind if I share the Holiday Edition of our newsletter. It has a few items that I thought might be of interest to folks on this list. (But I won't make it a habit!)

And if you would like to subscribe to the general Green Action Centre e-newsletter, sign up here.
