Well my first attempt at a large scale holiday bazaar was this past Friday and Saturday at St. Rita's Church. Many of the vendors had been their in previous years,  I was one of the newbies. The experience was great...meet lots of nice people.  Made some sales perhaps not as much as I would have liked,  but I was going for the experience and to see what people thought of my jewelry.  I was not the only jewelry vendor there, but mine was unique and intriguing.  Because of the eco-friendly aspect and the fact that i created my own beads from the scrapbookpaper and fabric.  My friends and family stopped by to see me and that felt great to know if supportes who believe in what i do.

I think that turn out could have been better if there was better signage around the streets to point people in the right direction.  Nonetheless, many folks said I come here every year.  It has been around for a while.  I know that other places were holding their bazaars too cause folks would say they made the rounds. Somthing different for me, all in all a good time.

My next venue will be the Bilquist School Bazaar in Milwaukie on Saturday Nov 23rd.  I hear that is a big one. So I better get back to the drawing board and create more treasures...

have a great week

This was day 1 of the St. Rita's Fall Festival in Portland Or...there were lots of complimentary comments from patrons.  Sales were made.... but a slow day nonetheless... I believe that Saturday may be a more lucrative day....  Meet a lot of nice people and asked to participate in another holiday bazaar.. it is all good

Well another beautiful fall morning in Portland... Only 6 days away from the St. Rita's Fall Festival, it has been many years since I have put my treasures in a formal sales opportunity.  Most of the time my sales have been by word of mouth.   This Bazaar is on Friday 11/8 and Sat 11/9  10029 NE Prescott form 9:am to 4:pm.

Also accepted into the Billquist School Bazaar in Milwaukie on 11/23 10:00am to 4:00pm  on that Saturday.  I figure why not go all out this year....  down to the final steps of organizing the table display some signage...excited to meet people and have a good time.
