Recouperating

After a month of mad sewing, I finally get a small break! The SpeakEasy show was AMAZING (thanks to all for the encouragement and support, especially those who popped in for the show)!

Met tons of wonderful people:

1. Our room mates for the show: two dynamic lads, the brains behind S'up Cuz, who design and print their own funky t-shirts, gave us candy, and helped drive traffic to our table; and, Cheryl Huber, designer and maker of beaded bookmarks and bound notebooks, branded Red Hen Craft (I'm looking forward to getting mine in the mail and using it on my trip this year!)

2. The lady who organizes the WychCraft Market, who approached me and asked if I was interested in getting a table at her market.

3. Sandra Livingstone, registered aromatherapist and beauty product creator, with whom I did a trade - this bag for her calming lotion & peppermint lip balm.

4. Cherie, a jewelery designer living my dream of owning a store and living right behind it! She asked if I was interested in putting some of my creations in her store on consignment.

All in all, a successful experience - made some sales & contacts, had lots of fun & adventure (re: table set up; I've never loved cardboard boxes so much), and would definitely do it again!

And what you've all been waiting for...photos!

  1. Congrats on a great show! I think I directed the WychCraft Market lady to you guys; I was talking to her for awhile and she mentioned the market so I told her where you guys are located. Looks like another good way to get your stuff out there!
