Tomorrow evening hubby and I will load up the car and drive up to Edmonton for this month’s Handmade Mafia event in conjunction with the Edmonton Art Walk. It will be my first out-of-town craft show and fingers crossed, all goes well. The event runs Friday, July 15th and Saturday July 16th from 10am-5pm at the Strathcona Baptist Church (8318-104 Street). I’ll have my usual bits and bobs with me: purses, floral hair combs, button magnets, my mom’s bookmarks and coffee cozies. I also whipped up some floral pins, after several requests from folks for those. So we’ll see how things sell up North. I’m quite keen to meet some more fellow Etsy Alberta Street Team members. There are quite a few of them in the Edmonton area who regularly attend the HMM events.
It’s a bit of an adventure, especially right now when my adventures have been limited to extra naps and trying to remember to eat & drink more regularly. Although we did take on that camping trip in June, which turned out interesting. Here’s hoping that this trip doesn’t involve anyone needing stitches. We’re going to spend Sunday hanging out at West Edmonton Mall. I’ve only been there once and I was just a little thing at the time. Mostly I remember splashing around a kiddy pool in the water park. Some shopping might be in order this time around.
Wish me luck. I’ll try to post about how things go at the sale and maybe even get some pics of fellow team members up next week. For now, I should get back to packing up all the craft show gear. Enjoy the rest of the week and weekend! If you’re in Calgary, you might be tempted to take in the last few days of the illustrious Stampede or at least score a random free pancake breakfast somewhere.
