About Me
- Kerry O'Gorman
- I am an artist trying to make a living doing what I love.Sometimes its photography, sometimes needle felting, sometimes painting. I live on a five acre hobby farm in a rural area 45 minutes from Victoria B.C. I was a letter carrier for Canada Post for 10 years and after too many commutes and a few successful craft fairs, I decided to take the plunge and quit to pursue a life in the "starving artist" category. The holistic success has been tremendous. Living and learning along the way about myself, the world, the business of selling your wares and how it all affects you. Its all good.To have the gift of living where I live, and being able to walk amongst the trees and moss is a joy in my life. You can view some of my creations through my etsy shop at www.farmlass.etsy.com

I want to go into that store and root around.

Ok. I am enchanted and feel I need to visit this store, do tell where it is. '-)
Thank you for a picture worth a thousand words.
I'm leaving tomorrow or as soon as you give out directions!!!
:D !!
For all who are curious... this is inside the Fan Tan Trading Company. You enter from one street and the back door (in the picture) leads you into Fan Tan Alley. The alley is famous for being (supposedly) the most narrow street in Canada and once was home to gambling joints, opium dens and brothels. White people were not very welcome here and were quite afraid to go near it in the early 1900's. So much for Wordless Wednesday hey??!
It's always been a favorite place of mine and the kids absoloutely love this shop.
OOOps...p.s It's in Victoria's historic and tiny Chinatown!
...and I love the composition of your photo
you make it mysterious and tempting...just the kind of shop we all love
I guessed that this was an Asian shop, then I read your comment.
It's intriguing! Your photo draws me into the semi darkness filled with so many interesting things but that you turned around and took the photo toward the door and the outside is genus. Makes it a much more interesting photo for the direction of focus.
Great WW....
:)
