2014 Fall Shows
October 8, 2014
Great news, sales are up and I am getting ready for a busy fall season. This year, the busy season started early in mid August for me. This includes sales of Stone Willow at the Banff Whyte Museum Gift Shop where they almost sold out of my necklaces over the summer. But it has also taken me a bit by surprise….a nice surprise. Since then, I have been working overtime trying to keep up with orders coming in at a constant stream – not leaving much time to prepare for my fall shows. But, prepared I will be and these shows will be great as they always are.
