Having so much Summer fun! I love all the festivals we have here in Edmonton. 

This weekend is the Edmonton Folk Music Festival and I’ll be selling lots of new music-related GEEKWARE in the craft tent!  Hope you get chance to drop by and check out the new goodies.  

Here’s a special sneak peek at what’s in store…. 

Keep your cool in the summertime with a record album fan!  This is human-powered cooling for a hot hot world! Build your biceps, burn calories and, save the planet while you’re at it :)

They are all cut and stitched by me and my not-so-happy sewing machine.  It doesn’t like sewing through thick cardboard but it has held up well!

Record Spindle Earrings for the real vinyl lovers, packaged in recycled metal CD tins originally from Canada Post’s Millenium coin.

These Cassette Tape Notebooks are the perfect size to pop in your bag.  And you get to show off your ’80’s musical tastes at the same time!

I thought the music fans at Folk Fest might like some record player cards too. The record part of the card is made from the insides of a diskette! Good recycling eh?

And record clocks of course! I’ll be taking all the record clocks off the website for the duration of the show, so that they don’t accidentally sell twice.

Really looking forward to the festival! I’ll be open from 4.30 - 8pm on Friday, 10am - 8pm Saturday and 10am - 7pm Sunday. This weekend: Aug 6, 7, 10. See you there!

For the 1st time ever, all record clocks are on sale for $25 this week! 

Yep, even the Beatles record Clocks and Elvis Clocks, which are regularly $40 and have never been put on sale before!

I’ll be taking all the record clocks to the Edmonton Folk Festival and the Fringe Festival next week (where they always sell out) so this is your last chance to snap up your favourite titles for yourself or shopping ahead for Christmas gifts, at a greatly discounted price. 

Next week the record clocks will be *gone* from the website…. “poof” 

New Atari Clocks just added to the shop.

Nostalgia-tastic!

I love Summer Festivals!  It’s the highlight of Summertime for me, with the tasty foods and just being outdoors soaking in the entertainment.

I’m excited to be vending at 2 back-to-back festivals this month.  InterPLAY is a new one for me, in a new city too. I’m heading to Fort McMurray tomorrow for the 3 day show, and it looks to be a great opportunity to share my GEEKWARE with new customers up North.  According to Google maps it’s an 8 1/2 hour drive north!!! But friends tell me it’s only 5 1/2 which is not so bad…

“The interPLAY Festival is a celebration of the visual and performing arts in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, that attracts over 20,000 visitors each year. It’s a combination of elements from fringe, folk, street performer and visual arts festivals.”

After InterPLAY, I’ll be at the Edmonton Fringe Theatre Festival from August 13-23.

I have a great spot this year, opposite the entrance to the Farmers Market on 83rd Avenue!  Normally these spots are for food vendors, but they’ve switched things up this year and a few select Arts/crafts vendors have been located on the main strip on 83 Ave. 

So in addition to an exciting new festival up north, and a fantastic spot at Fringe, I have new products to showcase too!!  They are all packed in the rental van already so I can’t show you a pic, but trust me, you’re going to love them!  To give you a taster, I can tell you there’s exciting new creations in the form of ….. Cassette Tape Clocks, MAC disk clocks, new tie clips and money clips, lots of cassette tape notebooks, record clocks and much more!! 

Come early to check out the new items.  They will sell out fast!

While surfing around my favourite blogs today I discovered Chip Chick has blogged about my latest clocks!  How cool is that?!  It’s always nice to be featured on blogs that I read every day. 

Thanks Chip Chick!  You rock!

I found these old gaming boxes that Mr Geekware had been holding onto for years.  It took me a while to think of a way to recycle them and showcase the cool artwork at the same time, and eventually I came up with the idea of gamer clocks!  I’m not sure if I had more fun making them or coming up with a witty description for the site…..

“Does your boyfriend spend more time playing Grand Theft Auto than he does with you?

Show him how much you care about his ‘hobby’ with this one of a kind clock handmade from an original Grand Theft Auto Vice City Game box!

Now he’ll have no excuse for being late… tell him the computer will understand ;)

Features a metal chain for hanging on the wall, a precision quartz movement, and takes one AA battery (included).”

Made a few clocks today out of old tins.
It’s amazing how many shapes and sizes tins come in! My favourite is the black and red oriental one.
These are for the Pop Culture Fair on Sunday.
