You have been invited to participate at the following upcoming artisan shows:

Given the escalating costs of craft shows, Sasha Walsh from Good Fur You! and Brooke Gordon from Bonnets & Bags, started organizing small venue shows. We ask for a contribution towards the cost of advertising and a plate of snacks. Coffee, Tea and Juice are provided.

This is our 4th year organizing these events, which are advertised in the local media, online and by invitation. We have always had a good turn-out and received positive feedback from participants about the comfortable atmosphere of the events and the excellent opportunities for networking and forming partnerships.

Scheduled Artisan Shows, Fall 2005:

September 10/11, Burlington
October 22, Burlington
October 29/30, Dundas
December 3, Oakville
December 10, Hamilton

Please email confirmation of your attendance with reference to individual events. Be sure to include your mailing address and any special requests. We are also pleased to sell your product on commission if you are unable to attend. This rate is negotiable; contact us for more information.
