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.
I know it is so hard to take paper to an outdoor show especially a rainy one. I am off to visit the blogs you mentioned. I love finding new people.

Sorry to hear that you had rain for your first show! But I'm glad to hear that you are not giving it up -- I've been a show dealer for 8 years now, and it is disappointing when it rains. I love your site and your collage style, especially the wordplay. Come and visit me sometime! I'll be back soon. Sandy/rhubarb reign
