Filberg was Fab! Yet again!









Well, another year at Filberg Festival is over. I really love this show....so invigorating and energizing. The outdoor venue and all the inspiring artisans are things I look forward to every year.

I was fortunate to set up earlier in the day and missed a big of heavy rain. It was just drizzling when I was doing it. I did come back to the site the next morning with a big pool of water in the roof of my tent. I was so glad to have decided not to put out any of my jewellery and purse hangers till that morning. Luckily, the rest of the show was lovely weather...actually got a bit hot out there. But I was under 2 huge trees with the beach at my back to keep my booth quite cool.

The show was successful which was a bit of a surprise to me. I did not have high expectations with all the high gas prices and such, but I must say that I couldn't complain about how I did. Choosing the right products to create is a big key to success....at least that's what I believe. I truly hope I can get into the show again next year!

Back to the WetCoast!

Well, I really should get on this more often. But as usual, life takes control and goes by quicker than I can blink!

This summer has flown by with our family moving back to my hometown of Victoria. Rough life moving from Winterpeg to Victoria (twist my rubber arm, as most Canadians would understand what I'm talking about). The most challenging of feats is moving the entire contents of our home into my mom's house (which is already full). We're slowly unpacking (still) and will continue to till all is done (whenever that is!).

Filberg Festival was a success again this year! I really love this show. Well managed and well attended. With beautiful weather and great musical acts (including Bruce Cockburn), it was successful for both the artisans and the attendees.

Presently, I'm busy making stock for orders and for my two Christmas shows this year. I'll be at the Calgary Art Market and the Winnipeg Signatures Craft Sale in the month of November. This will keep me quite occupied till after the Christmas season. Guess when it rains, it really pours. Hope my boxes containing my home will be able to wait for me!
