Virtual Shows for the Fall

 Many craft shows are moving online this year.  It looks like there are some great virtual experiences that are being created with the handmade community in mind.

HandMade MarketPlace launched their online store last month and will be hosting 3 more events before Christmas.  The next one is Thanksgiving week-end, October 8-12.  I'm participating in all 4 events and will be adding more new items to my store for each event.  Be sure to check them out--there are over 200 of us there!  Great quality craftsmanship; I've met many of these folks at craft shows throughout the province.  This is a great way to continue to support local makers while shopping from the comfort of your home.

The One of a Kind Show, usually out of Toronto, has also gone online this year.  I'm delighted to be able to join their virtual show this year.  Sounds like they have lots of DIY activities and other events planned for the duration of the show which is from October 22-December 20th.  This is a go-to show for so many folks in the crafts community.  The diversity of products is mind boggling.  I look forward to presenting my work in this new venue.
