Welcome to Soulfire Creations’ new blog.  Due to some computer difficulties, this has taken longer than I had hoped (I had to take a lot of the photos over again due to data loss), but now all of my jewelry pics are finally uploaded!  The only things that remain for me to upload are more purses, felted scarves and my art photography. Whew! In future, I hope to post more and more about what’s going on as I build this tiny little business up over time.

Should you have any questions or feedback, I can be e-mailed at soulfirecreations (at) shaw (dot) ca or feel free to post a comment here on the blog.

Update (September 2009):

Table display at Tuxedo C.C. - 2009
Added a new jewelry display (version 1.0) thanks to my helpful and creative husband!

Tomorrow, (Sunday, December 6 – can you believe it’s December already?!) I’ll be at the Tuxedo Community Centre at 368 Southport Boulevard from 10AM to 3PM.

You can find me (and my very helpful friend, Anne) at Table#33, located in the Pre-School building lower level.

Hope to see you there!

My table at the Crescentwood Craft Fair - Nov. 29/09

I had a lot of fun last weekend – the traffic was pretty steady though (from what others told me) slower than usual, most likely because of it being Grey Cup day.  Did pretty decently sale-wise (the purple necktie bag found a home with someone’s sister-in-law in the Philippines and a few of the hand felted scarves were to likewise find recipients in other places across the country)!

As usual, I had a great time meeting and chatting with other crafters – y0u should definitely check them out:

I just received confirmation that I’ve been accepted into this year’s Crescentwood Community Centre Craft Sale:

Sunday, November 29, 2009

10AM to 4PM

1170 Corydon Avenue

Due to the high volume of jewelry sellers already scheduled to attend, I won’t be selling mine at this particular sale until further notice but will definitely be bringing everything else.  I’ll post more info as I receive it.

Just waiting to get into one more craft sale and my schedule for the season will be set!

It’s confirmed – I’ll be at this year’s Tuxedo Community Centre Craft Sale on Sunday, December 6th, 2009!  Stay tuned for more details on this and (hopefully) two other craft sales I’m trying to get into during the weekends before and after this one…keep your fingers crossed for me!

Thanks to some new stock of antique brass and gunmetal grey components and even more Czech glass beads, I’ve been working on making my heirloom necklaces better and badder.  ;-)  Thank goodness we had some bright, sunny days lately – otherwise these pics wouldn’t have turned out as well as they did!
