Good things happen when you don't expect it...
As you know from the last post we were in Woodstock a couple of weekends ago for a Women's show and we got a nice award. Tanya, the organizer, also placed a new exhibitor next to us and told us the "you will really like them." We do.
Viktor is a superb stylist and he and his business partner, Gerald, have just opened their new salon and boutique in Woodstock. So far the feedback has been terrific for them and they are so pleased with the positive and warm reception that they are experiencing in their new town.
Long story short, David and I hit it off with these two; and Gerald, who had a bit more chat time available than Viktor (who had scissors in hand) that day, was pretty taken with our jewellery work and they decided then and there that they wanted to carry our work.
Now we have always been pretty particular about who has carried our work as we try to place it with folks who "get it" or that we've known for awhile. Besides not every store owner or gallery rep gets it. These guys did & quickly.
We are very pleased to say that Viktor's Blue Rose Salon and Boutique will be featuring our work along with other fabulous finds very soon as Gerald just picked up the order today. So if you get to Woodstock, stop into the salon on Main Street and say "Hi" to two really great guys.
...and I do like nice surprises.

From our latest press release
JEWELRY ARTISANS WIN "BEST IN SHOW AWARD"
During a brief presentation on Saturday May 10th. Cynthia and David Ryder were given the Best In Show award for Woodstock's 3rd Annual Women's Show. Miss Woodstock 2008, Caitlin Doucette, and show organizer and promoter Tanya Dixon presented the trophy.
The Ryder's have been participating in the growing Women's Show event since Ms. Dixon introduced the show in Woodstock, NB in May 2005. This year, over 100 exhibitors were present, promoting everything from real estate sales to motor scooters to salon hairstyling, so the annual competition for Best in Show, an award that recognizes a nice looking booth presentation and a good product, is stiff.
The Ryder's stated that they "are really delighted to win this award as our booth has undergone a lot of redesign work since Christmas and this does let us know that we are headed in a good direction. Also, this show has been growing in success for us as well as Tanya, and as it becomes established, a regular clientele is forming for us. The ladies here in Woodstock are very accepting of our handcrafted jewelry style and now we are finally getting a "look" with our booth that suits the quality of work we are doing."
