Kingston Grandmother Connection: Join us Saturday, September 27 for a fabulous Outdoor Artisan Market and Used Book Sale at 617 Earl St. (Earl at Willingdon Ave.) Open 9 am-2 pm. We’ll have a stupendous array: hand-crafted sturdy African Baskets, tons of current and recently published fiction and non-fiction, children’s books, and puzzles. There will be hand-knitted toys and many bright, decorative and practical creative sewn items for personal and household use, Eco products and beautiful Sandglass Creations and cards.
