We have 2 art/craft shows booked for this weekend, which I’m really looking forward to. On Saturday we have the Erin Church Craft Fair. It’s our first time doing this show but I think it should be pretty good. We’ve heard it gets very busy so here’s hoping!!
Our next event on Sunday will be at the Tranzac club – The Artisan Gift Fair. We have now done this show since our very first season (3 years ago). It’s usually quite steady with traffic and seems to be our perfect clientele. We have actually learned a lot from this event. We have learned about some do’s & don’ts about our table display as well as taken some client feedback and turned it into some really great product ideas! That’s really what it’s all about. Getting out there, listening to your customers and continually growing.
So, if your in the neighborhood for either of these craft shows you should stop in and say “hello!”
Well the Christmas season is almost here and the art & craft shows are starting!! I’m really looking forward to another fun season of setting up at all the local shows to sell our stuff that we have worked so hard on.
Still being fairly new we are constantly trying to improve our display, product and overall presence in the crafting community. Once of the very best rewards is going to these art/craft shows and hearing feedback direct from our customers. Honestly, if it wasn’t for our customers feedback, we wouldn’t have half of the products we do today!
The birth and invention of aventurine glass is credited to an Italian family of glassmakers by the name of Miotti. They created this special glass in the mid 17th century and it soon become prized and envied. Their process for creating the glass remained a closely guarded secret for many years, and at first they held exclusive rights to produce it.
Did you know: When lightning strikes sand, the heat sometimes fuses the sand into long, slender glass tubes called fulgurites (from the Latin fulgur meaning thunderbolt). How cool is that!?
