I WILL Be At the Show Tomorrow!

As it turns out due to Winter's ugliness on the highways I can't make it to Calgary so I have decided to turn bad weather into something okay and will be staying at the show tomorrow.

Since this will be my last show for the Christmas Season I will be putting my Snowpeople on half price as well as a great deal on the ornaments.

I will be there from 11 until 4....come on out!

Something I Didn't Anticipate...

I was approached at my last Show to participate in another fabulous event in the same venue the following weekend...when opportunity knocks a girl should answer the door, don't you think?  This event has been organized by the wonderful woman who had the Good Earth Clothing store on 124th Street.  Her enthusiasm to produce a great show is fabulous!  So...I signed up and will be at the show on Friday and Saturday!  I will NOT be there on Sunday as I have a performance of Cinderella to attend...my gorgeous niece is dancing in a production in Calgary, which of course is way more important than selling in a craft show...I am sure you understand.

Here's the details...




I hope to see you...and please pass this along to people you know...it's a great cause!

A Glimpse of The Show


Here's what it looked like yesterday.  I have made a few new Christmas items...jewelled trees and Burberry inspired ornaments.   I have to tell you, one of the best things about selling in a Community sale is the kids who come shopping.  I had two 7 year old boys who were pooling there money to buy presents for their sisters...so adorable!  The one little guy bought one of my leather bracelets for his 14 year old sister...pretty good taste, don't you think!  Okay...maybe the best thing of a Community sale is the baking that members of the Community have donated for sale in the cafe...you can get little yummies for 50 cents!  Starbucks charges $2 for the same thing...just sayin'.

I am at Westmount today from Noon until 4 PM...hope to see you!
















Again...thanks for stopping by!  Shannon

Did I Mention It's Only a Month Until Christmas...

Which gives you all the more reasons to come and see me!  Let me help you pick out the perfect gift and/or stocking stuffer for most everyone on your list...especially those you have no idea what to get!

Just an FYI...last weekend one of my lovely customers purchased several of my Christmas Ornaments as Hostess Gifts, but I think the Snowmen, who are only $10, would be a great little gift too.  I also think I could offer great Teacher's gifts.

Here's what I looked like last weekend....


Cheers...Shannon

Something For The Little Guys...

I have had several people tell me that they only have boys, which meant I had nothing to offer them. Which inspired me.  Of course.   So I created Silly Snakes.  From recycled ties.  Fun, don't you think!  Let me tell you, even my guy couldn't resist playing with one.  Boys will be boys....forever.

I hope you like....




Thanks so much for stopping by....Shannon

Westmount Show This Saturday and Sunday

I am so happy that the weather will be MUCH better this weekend!  It makes it so much nicer when hauling my creations in and out of halls when my fingers aren't freezing off...


It also means that it is a much more pleasing adventure for you to come out and shop!  


There is no admission for the sale this weekend, but they will be accepting donations to the Food Bank.  


I hope to see you there!

My Last Craft Show Appearance This Season...

(...unless something happens that I am not anticipating!)

I had a wonderful time at my last sale this past weekend.  Sadly I  thought it would be my last weekend this season.

You see, when I booked myself into the sale for Morinville this coming weekend I didn't realize my guy's Christmas party was the same weekend. There is no way I can get back in time to get gorgeous enough to attend a party at the Hotel MacDonald.  I had to withdraw.  And that made me sad.  I am loving being out with the public and getting response and feedback to my designs.  

Then, as I firmly believe, everything works as it should and a lovely crafter from the Hazeldean sale introduced me to a dedicated volunteer from Westmount who was organizing a sale and was in need of more vendors. Since the sale is for two days I won't need to pack up until Sunday, which means I can enjoy another weekend with the public and still have time to enjoy the party!  Yeah.  

So...here's the information... I hope to see you as this will be my last sale.  I am working on more Christmas ornaments as they sold quite well, especially as hostess gifts, and I have many Snowmen I still want to create.  I also hope to have some simpler pieces of jewellery made and some Christmas themed hair fascinators for little ones made.  That's the plan anyway.
