On a personal note, I had an amazing day... even with a 3.45am wake up call (after going to sleep after midnight)! It was amazing flying over the snowy alps, then driving through Christchurch covered in a blanket of white frost at 8am. The venue, Our City O-Tautahi, was simply spectacular. From the ornate fireplaces, stunning leadlight windows to the amazing light filled spacious rooms. I was completely overwhelmed by the amount of people through the doors... and they just kept coming and coming. Lucy did a fantastic job, and I could not fault one part. What an amazing market for both sellers, and buyers.
After a few delays with our return flight (really, how long does it take to change a tyre!!) we finally got home around 10pm! Thank god for the bar in Christchurch airport! Long day, but certainly well worth the effort. It was so neat to finally meet a lot of South Island Crafters too.
It sounds like you had an awesome time!
ReplyDeleteI had a look at Sonbbird Designs blog too - the room was packed with people.
I wish I could have been there to see everyones beautiful crafts :)
It was amazing, we so need A Craft Affair, or Craft 2.0 in Auckland!
ReplyDeleteSounds amazing - and what a beautiful venue - those leadlights ..... Glad you had a good time Cat, apart from the early start - and tyres! x
ReplyDeletelovely photo's Cat - you certainly had a great spot with the leadlight windows. Your table looks great - I never got upstairs so... next time, Joanna
ReplyDeleteWow, those photos are gorgeous, and it sounds like you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day. My craft show prep is usually the complete opposite of everything you mentioned. I love them, but it's always raining buckets with a venue I can't get in and out of very easily and wakeup call time that makes my bones hurt. It's all worth it when they open the doors, so I keep up the good fight - thanks so so much!
