Well, so far so good. We managed to make it through the first weekend of duo craft fairs, and we're happy to report, although a little worn, we did it!
Let's start from the beginning. I mentioned in the last post that we were living off of peanut butter and coffee, I wasn't joking. In fact I took pictures! Along with the state of our studio before this past weekend.
This is our mock craft fair table, it's a set-up made from rubbermaid bins and strips of wood.
Needless to say, things are a little hectic! But in a good way, like we don't have time to make sure everything is neat in place because we're busy being elves. Also, it's so much more rewarding to clean up a bigger mess right?
I stayed in the cutest house in Ottawa Friday night, hosted by two very gracious hosts, including two very charming cats, and snapped a couple of pics of the pre-show label cutting and pricing.
A highlight of the evening was digging through the cutest fabric collection I've seen, and being lucky enough to take home some quarter's to be made into bows. I was doing everything I could to keep my composure (and maturity) at the sight of each one!
So Great!
The next day was the Tarts''n' Craft fair which was a real success, and busy from beginning to end.
After a long day and a good meal, myself and my
fellow Montreal crafters headed back home, and I got the best sleep I could in order to get up and join Sara at the Bazar de Noël Puces POP & Rusty Plum sale.
We decided to take full advantage of the Polish food being cooked in the kitchen of the church basement, by ordering the $7 Polish plate, and expressed our fondness of the sauerkraut, sausage, and perogies by taking portraits.
Combined with a good coffee, we couldn't have asked for anything better!
So that wraps up the first of two duo fair weekends for us, the next starting Thursday night with the opening of the
Souk@SAT, in Montreal where I'll be selling our wares, followed on Saturday by
City of Craft where Sara will be representing us in Toronto. The Double Pal saga continues...
Time to get back to work!
