Craft Show in Pointe Claire Quebec

So today was my very first time doing a Craft Show. I had absolutely no idea how to do the set up and present myself with my art work. Thank God for my wonderful daughter Samantha who helped me bring everything in and everything out and do the set up of the table. I had a lot of fun meeting with all the other people selling their products that they made. I got a lot of tips and trick on how to do better the next time. During the course of the day there was a lot of ideas flying around and it will probably take me a week or two to put some ideas into action. One idea was a wonderful woman who I traded a painting for a hand made purse with remnant pieces of silk from India that we collaborate on me putting together the actual patterns for some tops that I have been wanted to put together for myself and they would be done with the wonderful materials from India. Also another idea was to provide me with some of the silk that either had flaws or slight stains to paint over these areas so that they could be sold as scarves. I am looking at some of the materials and I am already seeing some great ideas for paintings. Another idea came from the coordinator wanting to know if I give courses for the pouring medium and I will be looking at getting a rental of a spot to do this and then try to get word of mouth to put at least 20 people together.

So needless to say, I am up late after having taken a beauty nap on the couch, sorting all these wonderful ideas in my head onto my blog. Developments to follow.

The author of this book was not present for the show because she was in Toronto at a book signing but I mentioned that I wanted to take one of her free book marks for a friends daughter who is an avid reader and got the book for free.

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end. It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets. Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle. Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items. Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...
