Westwold Christmas Craft Fair

We had a really nice time at the Christmas Craft Fair in the little town of Westwold yesterday.  We are in only three Christmas shows this year as our selling wholesale to the local stores has been keeping us rather busy.  It was really great seeing some familiar faces and regular customers.  Our scarf jewelry as well as our interchangeable earring system were both a big hit.  Some of our repeat customers were quite pleased that they could purchase more art beads to interchange on the ear wires they had bought from us previously  making it more affordable.

We will be adding more of our art beads for our interchangeable earring system to our website over the next week or so.

Kamloops Craft-a-Fair 2012

It is that time of year again where we are busy preparing for our Christmas shows and our first one for the year is already in less than 2 weeks.  We start off the season at the Craft-a-Fair in Kamloops which is held at the Interior Savings Centre.  It is a large show and a great fundraiser for the Royal Inland Hospital.

Our main item we will be featuring this year is our Scarf Jewelry.  We will also have our new interchangeable earring system along with some of our more popular jewelry styles.

So if you are in the area, come on down.  We are in our usual space again this year which is upstairs on the concourse.  If you go in the main entrance and turn left you will find us just down a little ways on your left hand side.

Ladybugs

I decided that one of my projects I have been working on for the Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts show needed the final touch of adding some lady bugs.  Joan Taylor makes the best ladybugs so I turned to her blog post where she shared her tips on how to create a cane for some inspiration.  As you can see, I made quite a large cane and since it turned out better than I had expected, I am glad I did as now I will hopefully have a large supply of the little critters.

You can see one of the items I have added these cute little bugs to.  It is a surprise for now but as soon as I take some more photos I will reveal more in my next blog post.  In the meantime, have a great weekend.

Happy Canada Day!
