Don't read this post if you hate Christmas reminders in October

But do read this subhead so you know that Burnaby artisans are part of this year's Circle Craft Christmas Market, coming Nov. 7 to 11
Yifat Jovani, Mariko Ando, Healing Bees
Fashion by Yifat Jovani, limited-edition prints by Mariko Ando and skincare products by Healing Bees are among the Burnaby offerings at Circle Craft Christmas Market.

If you’re the kind of person who gets irritated by Yuletide mentions before November even hits, then you’ll want to avert your eyes now.

Burnaby artisans will be well represented at this year’s Circle Craft Christmas Market.

The market returns to the Vancouver Convention Centre West from Thursday, Nov. 7 to Monday, Nov. 11. It will bring together more than 300 artisans, including 60 who are new to the show, offering up their work in wood, clay, textiles, metal and more. From fashion and jewelry to prints, puzzles and bath and body products, the show features an array of artisan wares to kick off the holiday shopping season.

Burnaby artisans this year include: Healing Bees Natural Skincare (www.healingbees.ca), with their skincare products containing honey and beeswax; Erdaine Knitwear/Kermodey (www.erdaine.ca), with seamless women’s knitwear; Tgson Designs (www.tgson.com), with jewelry; and Mariko Ando (www.marikoando.com) with limited edition original prints.

Fashion designer Yifat Jovani (www.yifatjovani.com) will return with her women’s wear, and Jayna Handmade Leather Craft (www.tinyurl.com/JaynaLeatherCraftBby) will be displaying wares for the first time.

The show is open Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission is $15 regular, $12 for seniors and students, or $11 each for groups of 10 or more. Children under 12 are free, and entry after 5 p.m. is 50 per cent off. You can save $2 on all admission prices when you buy in advance at www.circlecraft.net or in person at the Circle Craft Shop & Gallery at 1666 Johnston St., Net Loft, Granville Island.
