So it's been a good week and a bit since I've finished exams. And WOW I've done a lot this past week!
Last week was pretty crazy - never have I met up with so many people in such a short period of time! And while I didn't quite enjoy eating out so often, it was really great to finally be able to spend time with friends that you're rarely able to have a decent conversation with throughout the school year.
For the first time in months, I was able to meet up with a good friend of mine and spend some time together browsing the Village Station Bazaar that took place in downtown Hamilton this past Sunday.

For the first time in months, I was able to meet up with a good friend of mine and spend some time together browsing the Village Station Bazaar that took place in downtown Hamilton this past Sunday.
The bazaar was located at the King and Ferguson intersection, in Hamilton's International Village.
The bazaar had an amazing array of vintage pieces (Modify Your Closet and numerous others which I can't recall the names of at the moment), delectable treats (adorable cake pops from Sweet Surprise, assorted British confectionery, and Bacon Creme Brulee (?) from MeatVentures), and even books and home decor pieces from local writers/designers.
One of my fave stands was the one hosted by the Jelly Bros; it had some amazing local map artwork and photography in addition to buttons and magnets representative of the Hamilton culture.
I also found a piece of fabric with a colourful Japanese print on it for a steal! (Can't wait to use it for my next food photography project!!)
Before browsing through the bazaar, we actually stopped for lunch at Cafe Oranje. Coincidentally, they were the ones hosting the event and we ended seeing the people there later on as well (haha).

Following our trip through the bazaar, we stopped by Eat Me! for some ornate-looking mousse cakes.

The Village Station Bazaar is being held on certain Sundays throughout the summer months, and is the perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. For more info, please check out their Facebook events page!
