We've been working hard to get into the swing of the Spring Craft Shows. So far, we've participated in 3 shows, Custer, WSU, and Shadle Park High School craft fairs. The picture above was from Custer, our first show. We did pretty well and receive a lot of great feedback. WSU was not what I was expecting. I found out there was a HUGE craft fair being held on campus (which I thought I was participating in). Unfortunately, we were in a smaller show dedicated to Fashion and Beauty. There were NO signs to direct people to the upstairs gym we were located in. It was pretty slow, and I was a bit disappointed with the turn out, so I didn't take any pics. I met some really nice people though, so that was good. Last weekend, we did the Shadle Park show. Mike had made some little side walls for the display. It helps with stability of the main wall, and gives me a little more display area.
The weather was beautiful, which I think kind of worked against us. I'm beginning to think maybe Spring shows are just going to be a little "lighter" in attendance. Once again, I met some really nice people, and was even approached about being a guest artist at a Gallery in Priest Lake.
Here are some pictures of some of the signs and accessories I brought to the show. Many have sold, so I'll busy over the next 3 weeks preparing for the Garden Expo at Spokane Community College, May 9th.
Thanks for checking in. Please feel free to contact me if you have something you'd like custom made. I love doing special pieces for people. I am also planning on listing some of my work in my Etsy shop soon. I will post a link once I get that going.
If you are in the Spokane area, I'd love it if you stopped by my booth at the Garden Expo and said hi. It should be a great show. I'll post more details when I receive them from the show promoters.
