The Crafty Island Owl
Leslie Walker is the creator of The Crafty Island Owl located in Parksville. She is a mother of four very busy children who are the main source of some of her witty designs and art work. In her “spare” time (ha, ha) or while the kids are sleeping, she loves creating canvas art, mugs and glasses, egg containers, apparel, handmade cards and banners, birth stat pillow covers and stuffed animals, or pretty much any unique gifts she can personalize for you.
She loves creating and especially love collaborating with clients to create just the perfect personalized gift. Her dream is to one day open her own shop in Parksville. Let her create something just for you!
Little Lily Tutu
For more than 8 years Little Lily Tutu has been exciting little girls of all ages with custom hand crafted dress-up items and accessories. From new-born's to "tween's" our unique tutus and hair accessories have brought delight, with their design, colour, quality and "family friendly" pricing.
Even "more mature" little girls have reveled in our halo and wand items which have adorned such diverse groups as the Dragonboat Ladies, The Red Hat Ladies, local Cloggers and a variety of clubs.
Serving upper Vancouver Island Little Lily Tutu has become a "crafter" of preference for families and friends searching for unique, high quality, reasonably price gifts for the young, young at heart, and very young, girls in their lives.

Be prepared to love this market...
Members - FYI we posted this to our Social media and wanted to share it with you as well.
Notice: We want to remind pet owners who are attending the market to please leave their pets at home. This is a very busy, crowded market and is not an ideal environment for your pets.
If you are visiting the area and don't have pet-sitting options, please do not leave your pets in the car. We'd prefer to have them at the market than in a hot car or RV.
