So sad to have missed Make It Vancouver this past weekend!


Would love to hear if anyone made it and what you thought?

Anyone who was a vendor -- would love to hear how you did. Pros -- Cons to this show over previous years, other shows?

Anyone get to the Maple Ridge Elementary School Craft Fair? How was it? How about attendance, signage?

Common people -- I need to live vicariously through you :)

Made it to the Uplands Spring Craft fair this past Sat and was thoroughly impressed! This was an elementary school event well done. Way to go guys!

There was a great assortment of crafts mixed in with a few home based business vendors. I was very impressed with the kids' make and take stations which had the kids entertained and crafting.

It was very busy and signage was good. I knew when I arrived that I was at the right place (poor signage is a pet peeve of mine).

There was a great energy, a friendly greeter at the door and even a free entry into a gift basket draw.

A couple of the crafters caught my eye:

Style Art Studio


Gordana of Style Art Studio makes beautiful pendants and earrings -- I haven't ever seen anything quite like her creations.


I was also impressed with her display and packaging -- simple yet effective. I hope you don't mind me showcasing some of your work here Gordana -- I asked for your card at the fair but never introduced myself (I am always self-conscious about doing so). She was very friendly (I'm always surprised by artists who seem annoyed to speak to potential customers) and I enjoyed my chat with her.


Woodland Owl Trinkets


Jessica's of Woodland Owl Trinkets bird's nest pendants were adorable and unique.


Although I didn't get a chance to speak with her I snagged her card -- take a look!


Unfortunately I didn't get the card of the creator of the Not-quite-paper towels but I am intrigued and will probably pick some up next time I see them. Have you guys seen these? Reusable cloths snapped together that you put on a kitchen paper towel dispenser.

Anyone else get out to crafting events? Would love to hear about them!
