Resident makers
Four stalls, four crafts, one cart
Each maker runs their own shop on the market's site, sets their own shipping and policies, and is paid directly when you check out.
Textiles · stall 7
Maya O.
Driftline Textiles
Maya weaves merino, cotton and linen on a floor loom in Dartmouth. Her scarves and runners are woven in small runs, so each colourway comes back only when she has the yarn.

What shoppers say
Only people who completed an order can review a maker, and each maker can answer once.
★★★★★
The gift box was a hit at work. Nice to buy from several makers in one go.
★★★★★
Free shipping over $60 and every jar arrived in one piece. Already planning the next order.
★★★★★
The haskap jam is the best thing on this market. The caramels didn't make it home.
★★★★★
Two tents and weights for the Bedford craft fair. Clean, complete and the deposit was back the same afternoon.
★★★★★
Heavy, flat and gorgeous. Tom showed me how to oil it when I picked it up.
★★★★★
Arrived in Calgary in four days, beautifully folded with a handwritten note. Warm without being bulky.

FAQ
Good to know
Can I buy from several makers in one order?
Yes. Your cart groups pieces by maker. At checkout you choose pickup or shipping and how to pay for each maker, and enter your card once. Each maker is paid their own share.
When can I pick up?
On market days, Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm, once the maker has marked your order ready. You'll get the stall's address and your 6-digit handover code by email.
How much is shipping?
Each maker sets their own rates, shown at checkout before you pay: about $10 to $18 across Canada, with free shipping over a set amount for most makers. Large pieces like the step stool are pickup or local delivery only.
Can I pay cash or by e-Transfer?
Yes. Every shop takes card, Interac e-Transfer and cash at pickup. Payment instructions are on your order.
Can I return something?
Ceramics, textiles and woodwork can be returned unused within 14 days; you pay the return shipping. Food can't be returned, but if a jar arrives broken, report a problem on your order and Rosa sends a new one.
How do rentals and deposits work?
Pick your pickup and return days on the item's calendar. The rent and a refundable deposit are charged at checkout. When the gear comes back complete and clean, we check it in and return the deposit.
