Upcoming Show Schedule

The plan was to not do any shows this holiday season and rest up because my health has been so up and down... but if you know me, you'll know that I can't sit still. I forced myself to pull out of the larger shows like Make It and Got Craft because I didn't want to get too stressed making inventory and then I got really sad that I wasn't doing anything this season. So, I've decided to do a bunch of smaller shows which will make it easier to re-stock and have some family and friends help run my booth. Mark your calendars and stop by :) Please note the * dates below may be canceled as I'm still trying to confirm a few dates!

Happy Customers!

These are from last night and last weekend. Sorry I forgot my camera was set to manual and the flash was off so some of the pix are a bit blurry :(

Brandi from kukubee and I did a tshirt swap :D

This is my awesome new shirt!

Fab Fair!

I stopped by Fab Fair today to say hello to the local vendors. It was really interesting to see because even though most of the vendors were all selling jewellery they were all unique in their own ways. There tons of pieces there for both the young and the older age groups. Saw a few familiar faces and met a few new ones as well. I hope you all did well this weekend :)

Some super sweet leather journals and pouches from Patina :

Hand pierced jewellery by eloi:

Vintage pieces by House of L:

Hand pierced and casted pieces by Fiona of Filou Designs:

Bought both these rings :)

Crocheted wire pieces by Ebb and Flo:

I have a habit of picking up everyone's business cards... I have a pile that's almost 2 inches thick.

My sweet little birdy ring from Filou.

Some photos are dark.. bad lighting at Heritage Hall! I did my best to brighten them.

Thanks for coming!

It's been a long day. Saw a lot of familiar faces and some I haven't seen in a long time! Thanks everyone for coming out! I hope you had a good time :D

My new necklace board set up showing all the pendants I have available.

Val & I. Thanks again for helping me out :D

My super cute squirrelly scrabble tile pendant I got from a Cagey Bee.

Finishing the day off with a DQ blizzard (cappuccino skor)! Yum.. too bad it melted before I got half way through. :(

Some new earring designs that I will have at the show this weekend. There's suppose to be more but I ran out of sealant and the new bottles I bought are bad so they needed to be sent back :( Will have these up in the shop soon!

I know it's early but I am excited! I will be taking part in Make It! the first weekend of May at the Croatian Cultural Center. Hope to see you there!

Banner Design

I was internet-less for about 8 hours yesterday and one of the things I did was design my craft show banner. What do you think? Yes or No? Any changes you would make?

Mark your calendars!

I will be at Portobello West's two day season opener at the end of the month. I will be bringing my jewellery, paper goods, handbags and hopefully some new tshirts. I hope you'll stop by!

To sum up my first craft show experience:

 Thanks to my Mom, Bee, Val and Dav for helping and thanks to my family who came to support me :D

I had the cutest little girl as my first customer. She bought a froggy ring but she was a little bit camera shy and I couldn't get a good photo. She's the daughter of one of the ladies of http://www.etsy.com/shop/2craftychicksonline

I heard two japanese girls repeatedly saying "kawaii" as they chatted in Japanese and looked at all the cute stuff on my table. It made me giggle.

I sold a handbag! Yippee!

I had a customer tell me that the little girl on my business card looks like me. Which is good because it is me!

Lesson learned: always check your money. I paid a toonie ($2) to learn this lesson. Actually, I'm not sure if it was a customer who gave me this or if it was in the roll that I got from the bank. Anyone know what the coin on the left is? I can't even read it.

Update! I figured it out with the help of some people in the Etsy forums. It's a Thai coin. 10 Baht. Worth about $0.30 haha

It was a good experience and I look forward to my next show at the end of March. :)
Hopefully I will get around to photo taking this week and get some new stuff in the webshop.
