Updates and more

Trish and I had a great time at the Tudor Hall this past Sunday. The show had a great turn-out, and we got to meet and chat with lots of great new people. We shared our cozy table with Carolyn from Maidenstar, and it was great to have such a wide array of jewellery available.

Get a head start on your holiday shopping and browse the 30+ local artists and vendors. Entry is free and there will be activities for the kids as well as door prizes and home made goodies. This event is organized by the First Avenue School Council and all proceeds raised go to this organization. We would love to see you there!

Expanding our calendar: two more craft fairs coming up!

categories: News, Shows

Never doubt that we here at Drakestail love to get out and meet all of you. Not only are we available for in-home jewellery parties, we’re also adding two more Ottawa-based events to our calendar!

The first new addition to our holiday event calendar is the First Avenue Holiday Craft Fair on November 28. Get a head start on your holiday shopping and browse the 30+ local artists and vendors. Entry is free and there will be activities for the kids as well as door prizes and home made goodies. This event is sponsored by First Avenue School Council and all proceeds raised go to this organization.

The second fabulous event we’ve added is the first annual Crafts for Christmas craft fair at Rideau High School on December 12. You’ll find lots of great locally made items perfect for everyone on your Christmas list. You might even find a little something for you to tuck in your own stocking, too! This event is a fundraiser for the Rideau High School Concert Band. Join us for a great cause and check off all the “nice” folks on your shopping list at the same time.

Of course, don’t miss a chance to see us, along with Maidenstar, at Tudor Hall this coming Sunday, November 22.

Until then, we’ll be lovingly creating some great new items just in time for the shows. Want to see what we’ve got in store? Then come on up and see us!

Craft shows squared

categories: News, Shows, Uncategorized

This past weekend was double the fun! Drakestail Jewellery got accepted into two craft shows on the same date, so Trish and I (Robyn) each went to a different show. Both were a great success.

Trish got to participate in the inaugural Something New Edinburgh show and had a great time. The food was delicious, the vibe was great, and it was very well attended. Definitely a show we want to be part of next year!

I got to participate in the All Saints CHS Craft and Gift Sale. This show is an old favourite – this is my fourth year attending, and it was as fun as ever. I had some lovely neighbours, some returning and some new. The parking lot was full most of the day and folks were parking out on the street to come on in. I even had a lovely student volunteer, Matt, watch my booth while I got a bit of my own Christmas shopping done. And a cheesecake, I also got a delicious cheesecake. 🙂

A big thanks to the organizers for both the shows!

We’ve got one more event coming up, and Trish and I will be teaming up with Carolyn of Maidenstar Jewellery at Tudor Hall on Sunday, November 22nd. We’ll see you there!
