Here we have $1 and $2 coins (gold colour) as well as 10c, 20c and 50c (no 1 or 5 c coins anymore). I try to have at least $4 in coin in my jacket pocket for my emergency train ticket/coffee/bread/milk needs. Lately with work I've used it for some of the buskers. Because it's legal on Queen Street you can come across half a dozen in about 4 or 5 blocks on both sides of the street. It's a long street and I don't often go up one end.
We get most of our food from the supermarket but last weekend went to a craft fair (I still need to post about this, maybe shortly). It was one of the better craft faires I've been to, spacious with a lot of variety. We picked up some gingerbread treats, feijoa wine, fudge and venison pastrami and biersticks. There were several candy venders as well as a couple cookie ones and I think a cupcake/pastry one, all mixed in with made crafts and craft supplies. Even if we didn't buy something I made a point of complimenting the artists' work I thought was beautiful.
When I went to the market to listen to SamRB, I didn't know where to look! I know she's a performer but at the same time I didn't want to make her self-conscious. I realise that was how I'd feel if I was in front of people performing, not how she was feeling.
I also got a chance to meet her partner and watch how she supported Sam. It reminded me that while we are individual in our creation process, we do benefit from help when it comes to crowdfunding ventures.
