I thought I will have some fun title for this blog post because I am really getting excited about this upcoming holiday season.
November has started with meetings, organizing studio space, ordering extra supplies and packaging elements, making new beads and of course many, many other things. Needless to say it's the busiest time of the year. In the next couple of weeks Craft Fair and Pop-Up Shop activities will embrace us and make it extra exciting and busy.
During the last week of November we will be taking part in two great events. Firstly we are impatiently looking forward to Swoop Christmas Pop-Up Shop in Dublin on November 26th in the luxurious setting of Caffe Parigi located on Sir John Rogerson's Quay in Dublin 2. Swoop is online marketplace for unique and handmade products in Ireland and its first pop-up shop is promising to be well attended with a great buzz.
We also are looking forward to Christmas Fair in Mother of Fair Love School on James Street in Kilkenny on the November 23rd & 24th. We were taking part at the Art & Craft Fair during Kilkenny Arts Festival there previously and it really is lovely nice size craft fair with comfortable atmosphere. Come along and see for yourself!

Early in the December we will be busy setting up Carlow Made Pop-Up Shop in Carlow town. Carlow Made is a group of artists and crafters joined together to bring selection of locally produced items available in the Pop - Up Shop opening early December in the Carlow town right up until Christmas Eve and we are delighted to take part. It is always great pleasure to showcase locally and meet local community. We will have more details about Carlow Made pop-up shop on our Facebook Page soon.
And last but not least is lovely Gorey Creative Fair held on tree Saturdays during the month of December - 7th, 14th & 21st in the Gorey Shopping Centre. We always had great time there! Wonderful visitors - some buying, some admiring, also pleasure to meet fellow crafters and see new and unique items available. Great Christmas gift ideas and yummy delicious treats.

I would like to think that you have marked day in your calendars when you are going to the Christmas Craft Fair?! Local or not but I think it's definitely worth to visit one because it just ads to overall holiday feeling.
We are adding final touches to our Faux Knitted Jewellery range and it will be available at all the fairs mentioned above and also in the tree online marketplaces SWOOP, HATCH and ETSY showcasing our work.
Happy Christmas shopping everyone! I have started mine back in October.
Take care,
Liga
Good luck at your upcoming shows. I've had two so far and have another this weekend. Sales have been good so far and I hope they continue :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, hope it's a great season for us all!
DeleteBest of Luck Liga. Hope it goes well for you. I would love to 'chat' to you about how you find Swoop as an alternative venu to Etsy (perhaps you wont want to comment on your own blog though of course..maybe the forums or by convo one day?)
ReplyDeleteHi Anne-Marie, thank you and, yes, we can have our little conversation one day. Making a note. :)

ReplyDeleteThank you, I have a feeling that maybe one or two will try to squeeze in between.
