Hi, my name Erin Watt and I am a partner in the operation of Watt Saddlery. I am also one of the partners in the coordination of the Country Drive Markets.
Following in my dad's footsteps, I have dabbled for a few years now in leather work. I try to put my own spin on projects with emphasis on leather textures and design. Slowing I have been adding leather carving and tooling to my repertoire and I'll have a small sampling of my work at this weekend's market.

PSA!!

Cell service is patchy at the hall!
Depending on service provider vendors may have limited service to offer payment electronically.

There isn't a cash machine in the area - closest is in Dryden or Vermilion Bay! Please plan accordingly before venturing out to Eton Rugby 😊

A friend since grade school, Dani Frechette has always been a lover of nice scents. We were so excited when she decided to develop her passion into a side hustle creating some of the best scented, high quality candles you've ever experienced.

Larson Bay Candle Co. was created out of a passion for beautiful scents, clean burning ingredients and gorgeous candles.

Our candles are hand-poured in Dryden in beautiful Northwestern Ontario. We use a blend of all natural coconut and soy wax with no nasty paraffin wax that is used in many candles on the market today.

Our candles are wicked using natural wood wicks and we only use phthalate-free and paraben-free fragrance oils to create our scents.

And because lake life has taught us to never take ourselves too seriously, our candle names are slightly playful - because life always needs a bit of fun!

We are so excited to introduce Lori Skitt of Wildly One. A recent addition to the community of Eton Rugby, Lori and her family have quickly become some of our favourites. ❤️

Originally from the Ottawa Valley area, I have lived and worked in NW Ontario for over 20 years and I have come to understand the importance of place, connection and community in all aspects of our lives.

I began this line of jewellery and business in 2019 as a necessary creative outlet to build and showcase the strength/beauty, discovery and connection I find within myself, with the natural world – and within community.

Each piece of jewellery and sculpture I create has a story to tell – each contains natural items that I have curated while out living and exploring in NW Ontario.  I select the items for various reasons; colour, curves, texture, wood density, and location – but primarily they catch my eye and elicit a certain feeling or emotion. Before setting the driftwood/wood/pinecone in resin, I may sit with the pieces for hours (off and on 😊) – holding it, changing the angles,  and trying to find just the right curve, pattern, or texture to highlight. Many of the shapes and patterns found in the pieces are dictated solely by the wood or fiber itself, and the work I do is an attempt to showcase the sometimes unseen beauty. As my work with these materials is evolving I am beginning to notice my life experiences (movement, colours, elements) expressed in the composition of the pieces. Nothing seems to happen simply by chance.
