2014 Craft Fair experience ( My first year with the Pottery)

Finally after all the Christmas rush for gifts and events I have an update for everyone.

Both craft fairs we attended went well for us this year. Good sales and more great contacts. One of the highlights was meeting a teacher from the local elementary school and arranging with her to do ornament decorations with her class. To my great pleasure she showed my samples to her co-works and I got 3 more classes the week before winter break. It was noisy, messy, chaotic at times but great fun with the kids. Grades 3-7. They want me to come back in the new year and talk about other projects to do with the kids.

Here are some photo's of My Craft Fair table set up.

My pre-set up for the Cowichan Fire Hall show.

Center image of Clock by Gerry. Was made all by Hand no electric tools used. All hand cut, plained, sanded, no nails. Out of pine wood.







Shawnigan Lake Craft Fair. Shared a table with a friend.
There are wooden items that Gerry made also.
The end table has my ornaments hanging already painted.
I have a small basket with unpainted ones as well. For do it yourself crafters.

Along with my Water Color / Ink cards.




I enjoyed the time spent doing the shows and making ornaments. I learned a lot about what people are looking for and to start now with making plain ornaments for next year.

Some samples of the painted ornaments I did. and were for sale. Some of the choices are available plain for anyones own personal touch.
