Makers' Market

This past Saturday, along with my sister Jill, I registered a table at Christ's Church Cathedral in Hamilton to sell some of my jewellery and Jill's marbled clutch purses. Makers' Market is an "Outdoor Art & Organic Food Market" which showcases artists from this area. There was some locally grown, organic fruits and veggies available and a few vendors selling vintage items. Unfortunately I wasn't able to bring as much jewellery as I would have liked to, but I did manage to sell a couple of my smaller resin pins. This was a really good opportunity to show off my work to a new audience. I was given some advice about what people would like to see from me in the future, and of course the whole experience of running a table at a craft show in invaluable. I can't wait until the next one! It will be on September 15th. Christ's Church Cathedral is on 252 James St. N. right next to the armory. It's a huge courtyard... you can't miss it!

GARAGE-LESS SALE

With my busy school schedule, I've had very little time to sit down and make anything that wasn't related to some sort of assignment over the last couple of months. It's probably pretty obvious that I haven't had much time to update this blog either (see the date of my last entry), but the event that I'll be taking part in this Sunday in Hamilton seemed like too much fun to pass up so I will be there with a few of my own creations. Just as it sounds, this night will be a garage-sale without the garage. It will consist of many vendors selling things like old records, band merch, books, clothing, crafts just to name a few things.
