SPRING BEAD & JEWELLERY FAIR

Crafts Fair,Bazaars  or jewelry exhibitions....

 Call it whatever you want, 
but it's one intimidating event. 
Especially for the vendors. So much 
forethought, work, and time 
to put forth for a few days, 
or maybe even hours.
Toronto bead society spring fair(May 26-27th) is going to be my Third Fair since i started my to sell my jewelry online.
Although many jewelry artist have told me in the past that they do not find these fairs useful i have the most fun in them
Not Only do I get to do what i love the most (make jewelry ) but i get to meet the most wonderful people at these places:Buyers,Art and craft lovers and Other wonderful artists. 
Meeting so many other people trying to follow their dreams inspires me and boosts my confidence.
