Meeting Last Night!

Hello Everyone!

We had a meeting last night and there were two new faces - plus me!

!Spring from Yodamoon and Susan with S E H What! Very glad you both have joined us!

We decided upon Sunday, September 30th for the trunk show. I will make up invites for that and get some to everyone. I will try to have them finished by next Tuesday.

The Artist's Shows at Washington Abbey will be Friday, October 19th and Saturday, November 24th. We can decide at the next meeting what format we want for those, but if we do them boutique style then people who can't be there can still participate. The November date is firm, but October date is still soft, will know for sure this afternoon. I will make up one postcard for these two sales. Because these will be open to the public I want to do a slick postcard for hanging and mailing. What I need from everyone who wants to participate is two pics of product you would like on the postcard. I will do a collage for one side of the card.

We discussed possibilities of other sale opportunities so hoping that more people can come to the next meeting to help with the planning.

Susan, !Spring, my husband and myself participated in the ETSY at the Beach sale and had a great time. It was successful for me in terms of sales and valuable learning lessons. This was my first Show and although I have been selling cards on the internet for about 3 years I learned a valuable lesson in the power of the customer seeing and experiencing the product. It was great fun!

Hope to hear from you all soon and please email your pics to me at fleegirl@efn.org

Wow Karen...that sounds awesome! Thanks for picking up the ball and running with it :) I definitely like the idea of the boutique style for Washington Abbey. I don't know if I can make a Friday show, but we'll see. Maybe half day. Was a time decided? Maybe 10-5?

Let me know what I can do. I've started doing Sat. Market every week, so time is limited. Everybody...stop by and see me if you come down there.

hi guys!
sorry i missed the last meeting- i'm out of town right now. these shows sound great- thanks for all your hard work!

one question (since i'm a bit out of the loop)- where is the trunk show on sunday the 30th? i don't think i'll be able to participate in that one because i won't be home until the 24th- but i'd like to come and support you all!

also, by when do you need to know who will be participating in the artist's shows?

thanks!

Hi - The show on Sunday the 30th is at my house - 123 Oakleigh Lane off of River Road. I'm planning on having invites ready for the meeting this Wednesday.

We can talk the final plans of the Abby also on Wednesday. I need people's pics or tell me which one to take from your shop - either way.

I'm hoping that one or two people can come with me to the Abby on Sunday to look at the room, set up, how many people, etc. Please be thinking about your availability anytime Sunday afternoon. During the week works also, but the folks with the most experience work during the week.

Thanks! karen
