So, one of my goals when opening the store was to write weekly, if not daily, musings about being a bead store owner. As I've quickly found out, my intentions are always good, but time is my enemy! I almost forgot that I actually had a blog until today!!
I just finished my first trade show as a bead store owner. I spent the last 3 days at the Fraser Valley Bead show in it's first Spring show. It was a great show, in a beautiful venue and I had an awesome time. Many of my awesome customers came out to shop the show and they all popped over to see me. I am very lucky to have such a great group of customers! The show was fun, I sold a lot and of course I too purchased a lot. I met some great new friends, met some local store owners and picked up some new lines for the store. I'm exhausted, but in that can't wait to to it again way. The Fraser Valley Bead show has it's annual Fall show in October and I am looking forward to doing it all over again.
ps.....I had hoped to take a picture of my super booth that my sweet husband made for me but again, intentions are always there but reality often sets in and things are not done. Next time for sure.
I was at the show too & spent a lot of time looking over every display & store booth. Now I'm very curious to know who you are & hope I recognise you when I come to your shop. I talked with many of the store owners & with those who were demonstrating their talents so it's likely you were one of those too. I hope so!
