big on bloor

Posted by Aprile on 2009.06.23:

Hello! I'm still recovering from Big on Bloor on Saturday (which means there is still stuff everywhere). It was the rainiest day we have had in a while, and it was a bit disappointing—because Friday was beautiful and Sunday was as well—but I still had so much fun! I forgot to take any photos, so thanks to Petra for taking some! Above is my and my table covered in plastic. It was NOT a good day for paper products.



It was my first show ever, and I'm going to call it a practice run. I'm happy to know we were well prepared, and I loved my display! I made friends with my table neighbour, Xenia, met Lisa from Girl Can Create who had recently just discovered this blog (and I've even been on hers before!), and Anabela and Geoff stopped by as well, and brought home one of my Nest collages! It was such a good day, despite all the difficulties, and I am definitely going to do it again because I love meeting people! I never thought I would be one to say that, even. I'm not the most social...



The plastic comes off!

There is a silly little video of us here holding the BIG letters, I jump in at the end. I'm pretty sure everyone but John (the jumpy one) thought a picture was being taken, haha.
