We’ve had some time to process last weekend’s experience at the Big Brothers Big Sisters Show & Sale and we cannot believe how lucky we are to have had this opportunity so early in our time as small business owners.
It was a perfect weekend spent with super awesome volunteers (coffee cart folks, we salute you for fighting the crowds for us!), thoughtful customers and community members and so many incredibly talented makers. We want to thank everyone who stopped by our table to ask about our products, have a laugh or share a word of support for our new venture, each of you mean a great deal to us. The cherry on top is the fact that Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sarnia-Lambton raised $60,000 that weekend - absolutely amazing!!
Six months into being on the market "circuit", we’ve quickly realized what a truly special community exists among local makers and at our first major event we leaned on our neighbours more than ever. Special thanks go to Through the Eyes of a Gemini, Healing Brown Bear, Feather on Water and Journey Gems (to name a few) for helping ensure that our first Show & Sale was a success. It was so successful, in fact, we only captured one photo all weekend!
