15th Annual Milkshake Party!
I’m very excited to invite all of you to my 15th (hard to believe) annual Milkshake party!
SATURDAY, JULY 24, 12-5PM
In the yard at my studio: 3504 Welwyn Street (Map) Parking can sometimes be a challenge on the street but there is usually a bit of room. When you come through the gate, follow the sidewalk to the back of the house. The garage door will be open and we will be serving lovely Milkshakes to all of you!
Many people ask me what the milkshake party is all about. Well, it’s about you, my friends, my colleagues and my clients. I am truly grateful for the support I receive each and every year, so this is my little thank you. Drop by, say hello, grab a milkshake, meet some new folks, and have a laugh. That’s it! Pop by for a few minutes or stay for a few hours, totally up to you. Of course, this event is for the whole family (it’s milkshakes after all!)
This year I’m extra excited! The Province is opening up again, and we have gone through the most trying of years together. This gathering is a chance to actually see each other, in person! Yahooo. I miss seeing all of you! Because it’s an extra special year. I’m so happy to announce that I have some special guests join us. Alexina Davis Certified Musical therapist (MTA, MT-BC), Ellexis Boyle of L’artisan Vegan Chocolates and this year’s non-profit we will be featuring is Outsiders and Others art society.
Alexina Davis (MTA, MT-BC)
So excited to have Alexina with us! 2ish she is going to perform/play with us! Awesome for the kids including the big ones!

Ellexis Boyle from L’artisan Fine Vegan Chocolate
Directly from Ellexis: “Welcome to L'Artisan Fine Vegan Chocolate! I make beautiful, glossy vegan bon bons, bars and other confections as well as glorious chocolate pastries and art cakes. My business values include ethical sourcing of ingredients, reducing waste through compostable packaging and edible inserts (yes! it's all compostable) and using natural colouring agents. I also seek to support women owned and led businesses where possible as well as companies that promote folks who experience marginalization. My grand hopes are to do what I love, work with fantastic people and never stop creating and innovating. I will be posting pop-up chocolate sales and taking orders for specialty cakes and pastries.”
