A Show, a Shot, a Future

What an incredible weekend!  It was awesome!  So, we went to the Wake Forest Bazaar, got a really good spot in the parking lot, set up quickly, and were all ready for customers at a good hour Saturday morning.  For this, our first ever out door show, we created a super fun sign letting everyone know who we are, and help bring people in to the craft show.

 It is a hand painted canvas sign, with a light weight plastic wood frame, that we were able to hang from our canopy.  I love the sunglasses on our sign!  I thought about hot gluing shells onto the corners of the canvas, but it was so hot outside that I'm sure the hot glue would have melted.

This was a really fun experience being outside for once.  We learned that we can set up and take down pretty fast.  We also have a few new items to add to our wish list for when we start doing outdoor craft shows more often.  In fact, we thought it would be fun for you all to see what our wish list is, so we created a whole new page just for that.  That way if you want to donate for our cause we'd love your support!  Or you can see what the money we bring in goes towards, aside from supplies to create beautiful works of art!

We had 3 tables set up this craft show, which was really great.  That allowed us to dedicate one table for jewelry, one table for paintings, and one table for our essential oil necklaces with the oils as a draw people in with.  The oil raffle was the biggest hit on Saturday!  In fact, everyone kept asking why we weren't selling our jewelry, art, and necklaces in The Cotton Company.  So hopefully we'll be able to get in there eventually.  We asked and all the booths are full for the next few months.  So for now we'll continue sharing, and gifting, and selling online!

While at our craft show, we met a famous local Artist, who gave us a special invitation only, ticket to get our hand crafted jewelry into our local community better than we are now!  So excited for this wonderful opportunity.  It is a shot in the dark to see what and how it will happen.  But it is also a huge blessing for the future of Sand Glasses Design!
