I am in the 'thick of it' for the next 3 weeks with my business. I had a WONDERFUL Saturday selling my dolls at the Vancouver Waldorf School. I sold more than I could have dreamed of. It was so great to be in an environment where your work is appreciated that much and the parents and staff were so supportive, it was amazing. (sniff, sniff!) I had my dolls up on display at Birkeland Bros. this month and have recieved loads of inquirys because of it. Birkeland is where I buy most of my wools and yarns, it's safe to say I must be one of their best customers. I get so much inspiration from going in there..just looking at the yarns gets my mind in overdrive :)
This Saturday is my first attempt at a private show. Luckily for me I am doing it with a marketing genius, my friend Bridgitte. Bridgitte owns Natural Pod, a company that sells treasures from around the world. She has wooden and natural toys, clothing, wooden 'Like a Bikes' and tonnes more..and of couse, my dolls :) I met Bridgitte last year at the 'One of a Kind' show at the Heritage Hall. Anyways, she has been working so hard to get this event going. I hope it goes well.
The following weekend is the Winters Farmers Market at Heritage Hall, that is always a big event. I am looking forward to seeing my customers from the summer time when I did the Farmers Markets at Trout Lake. I will continue to do them next summer even though I will be in Cobble Hill, they are a great event..and there is a wonderful lady who sells these red pepper jelly and chedder scones..mmmm..
I have to get going, we are putting Benji to bed now..
