Discover Vancouver: The Burnaby Edition

Do you remember my Jar of Fun?

The Crafting Widower and I had a pseudo Jar of Fun day on Saturday...we visited the National Nikkei Heritage Centre in Burnaby, BC for their annual open house and Japanese Farmer's Market.  

OK, technically it wasn't a Jar of Fun day - because I read about it on CBC Online and Burnaby wasn't selected at random from the jar.  Also, we only spent an hour there instead of a day...I'm stretching here.  

Anyway, there was lots of interesting stuff...some of it pretty crafty.

There was a gentleman sculpting a bonsai tree.  

An artistic display at the Japanese Canadian National Museum.  The exhibit was called Kizuna.  
The artist above (Natalie Purschwitz) wrapped stones with cloth.  

And a trip wouldn't be complete without a tasty treat.  Yummy gyozas!  

I also spotted a cute little centre (formerly a school house).


Maybe they have a crafty program for my crafty parents!
