Group Sale - Bellevue Hall

Our sale at the Bellevue Hall was a success. Here is a picture of our motley crew! Thank you to Phil, Brent and John for "manning" the concession. Perhaps they should have dressed down to their skivies, and we would have had more cookie sales, ha ha. Also a HUGE THANK YOU to Trish who looked after credit card purchases!

Last Saturday's Sale and Classes

Good Morning everyone!

We all should now be recovered from the weekend and Saturday's sale by now, I hope you all had a good time. It was so nice to see everyone's creations, especially those who didn't get to participate in last October's sale. I have a few photos I took so I'll post them when I get a chance.

I personally did alright, about what I expected to do. I didn't think it was going to go over as well as Octobers sale, since that was a great location, and we had the start of the Christmas rush. i think this location has good potential though, it will just take more time. I hope everyone will take the time and post your thoughts and feelings in regards to last Saturdays sale. Any thoughts on what we could do different/better?

Also I know many of you are taking classes at Bedrock this weekend, let us know how they go!

Have a nice week. Amanda

Our group is pleased to present our Studio Sale of Lampwork Glass Beads & Glass Bead Jewellery, Saturday, April 14 - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm at the Bellevue Community League, 7308 - 112 Ave, Edmonton. Come by to browse beautiful and unique work handcrafted by our group of local lampwork artists and enthusiasts.

One more thing...

I forgot to mention one thing, I have been working on a new logo for the group. I've had to put it aside to get ready for the sale. I'll be back to working on that next week. I will have 3 options, I will post them and we can have a vote.

Cheers, Amanda
