We will all have a special promotion happening just for this show. valid with the promo code OOH2020. Opens at 10am on Wednesday, November 25th and closes at 7pm on Sunday November 29th, 2020. www.outofhand.ca |
HANDMADE MARKET ONLINE SHOW
The organizers of the Handmade Market - have created a fabulous on line platform for this special year. The events have had a lot of the energy of an in person shows. Artists ( like me!) burnt the midnight oil to bring their very best to opening day. Many of us have limited volume of pieces. The First and second and third weekend shows were so fun to be part of, and I am so thank you for all the people who shopped and continue to shop the show which is staying open 24 hours a day till mid Dec, so shop early to avoid shipping delays. https://www.handmademarket.ca/#next |

Past 2020 events
So many of us are missing the summer festivals this year!
Feeling super thankful to some of the festivals who are making innovative efforts to bring that uplifting festival spirit on-line, and safe distancing events. Wind Festival for the Arts The Squamish Arts council is doing a great job of that! Take a look at all the things they have going on. I love the way they mentor young people to get involved in music and art, and by putting their event on line they are bringing their positive energy beyond Squamish! On August 8 I took part in their on line arts show. Find links to all the artists who took part of the show through this link https://squamishwindfestival.com/market-vendors For me being part of shows like this - gives me a deadline to work towards!! It inspired me to add some of my Classic Splash collection to my on-line shopping. Thank you to all the people that shopped the show and sent me messages! Always so nice to have a chance to connect:) |
