Who Needs the Gym?

It's been more than 3 months since I've had to set up a show and I forgot how heavy the grid walls are. John is 6'4" so the the upper shelving and signage is his responsibility ( as well as continuous lattes throughout the day.

Portobello West is an exceptional venue for Vancouver. As an artisan, it's difficult to find a venue that focuses on fashion. I had an outstanding two days, personally and professionally. Here's a peak at the booth.



I sold my favourite new pieces and it was hard to part with the Pussy Willow Scarf. I got a huge kick out of selling my new handspun----what a rush.

I also have my 2nd order for Barefoot Contessa for the early start of the season and I am thrilled. So head over there to pick up baby and adult pirate hats, sweater sets and my silk and cotton cherry blossom chokers.

Busy hands are happy hands,------but God, my back is killing me. See you back at Portobello last Sunday in April...there will be a lot of new knitting by then.
