First Craft Show

On the 28th of Ocotober we participated in the Pictou County Arts and Crafts Association's Victorian Christmas Craft Show, held in Westville. While not as big or as busy as we expected the show to be, it was a nice day out; we had reasonable sales for the price of the tables and I bumped into an old friend from high school.

I think possibly the best thing that came from this was a lesson: always take an interest in other vendors' work. While admiring a fellow vendor's beaded jewellery I commented on her displays, and was rewarded with the name of a Canadian supplier of display and packaging materials that has good prices. While I haven't ordered anything from them as yet, because I have started making my own custom sized and printed pillow boxes, it is good to have for the future. For anyone who'd like to check it out, their site is www.noblepack.com.
