What a lovely market

Despite the cold, yesterdays pop-up at the Center For Social Innovation, was a really successful day. We met some great entrepreneurs, sold some jewellery and got to soak up the creative and energetic vibe of the wonderful space that is CSI. Off to the Market, a blog about markets around the world, gave us a friendly mention and took a few photos of our work.

Some great connections were made, and we feel it was an auspicious beginning to Handmade Revolution's life as a business. If you couldn't make it, never fear we are planning a spectacular Handmade Revolution soiree for late June and we will keep you up to date about that, especially if you join our mailing list.

There were some other really great creators at the event yesterday, and we particularly want to draw your attention to Caroline of Garnet and Ashes, a swanky artist, who always has some fab art to give a golden breathe of fresh air to a gray day. 

We were also really impressed with Local Buttons, who will be online soon. They sell  amazing jackets and vests, from up-cycled clothing, created in a fair trade facility in Haiti. The two ladies in charge had great style, and amazing energy and we hope to be talking more about them very soon.

That's all for now, after such a fun event, today is all about catching up on that pesky paperwork.

Our First Show

We are really excited to be participating in our first show, which will take place on April 16th at the Center for Social Innovation at 720 Bathurst Street. CSI is a co-working space, with great vibes and an awesome mission and I often head there to soak up the buzz of happily working people when I need to get away from the cat who just never stops talking.

There will be a bunch of other great artists there including the lovely and talented Caroline Nevin of Garnet and Ashes.

You can get more details about the event here on our events page. Tell all your friends, we would love to see you there.

After a fantastic photo shoot on Saturday with the help of Linda from Silent Muse Productions, Shannon Doherty and Emily Mocek, things are really getting moving with Handmade Revolution. Here's an extra hilarious shot of us together at the wrap of the shoot.  

 It's so exciting to be getting our fantastic jewellery products posted to the website.  Here is a teaser image just to give you an idea of what's coming.
