There is always a rush of inspiration before any of the shows and the Spring Originals is coming up soon, 16-19 April at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa.
It has been a busy time in the studio in between time away in Halifax to deliver some long awaited custom work, which was well received, and booking a visit back to the gift shop at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia for May. As well as just placing work this week with Old Orchard Crafts, just outside Fredericton, we will have work at the AGNS gift shop in May.
I have been building earrings the last couple of days and will spend the next week filling in gaps in the inventory. So lots more pendants yet to go.
Unfortunately I am missing inspiration for a call for entry, but that happens sometimes, when a theme is not making a piece clear in my head. There's a still a couple of days yet before the deadline so maybe...
At least some inspiration, and perhaps a touch of panic as the realization that we'll be one the road in two weeks has hit, is making for some great work for the spring shows, including the one in Woodstock on the 9th of May.

Show Season update
We have been enjoying the rush and excitement of the Christmas Arts/Crafts Shows in the region for the past couple of weekends.
The Prince Edward Island Crafts Council provided and exceptional show at the Confederation Centre in Charlottetown. The entire team, all PEICC members, that worked on the show were very warm and welcoming. It was a delight to back on the island after not having been there for several years.
In Halifax, we had an outstanding show at Pier 23, the home of the Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council's Christmas Market, again, beautifully organized and produced with outstanding results.
Thanks to everyone, including our regular and new clients who helped make these enjoyable events.
BTW, the music was relatively good both places.
We have three smaller one day events coming up, a 'men's night' at Viktor's Blue Rose Salon in Woodstock on Thursday, a sale at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre on Saturday and then back to Viktor's on the 6th, whereupon we will depart for Ottawa and The Originals Show for the 11th-21st of December. I am looking forward to Ottawa this year. The booth location is in the first isle towards the upper end. Our new booth design which we tested in the spring and has worked well for us at the Council shows should be ideal for this venue. We are also looking forward to reconnecting with old friends in the area and remeeting so many of the fabulous folks from last year's shows.
See you there!
