WEST Sale IV wrap-up

A massive thank you to the 350-or-so folks that came through the door last week to our Handmade & Vintage Sale IV! How lovely it was to see both returning & fresh faces on not only the customer side, but the vendor side to boot. Su of Let Em Eat Cake was back and in action doing her thing in the kitchen with some solid helpers offering a heap of savoury and sweet treats - many being gluten free, vegetarian and/or vegan - SCORE!

Now, on to the pictures!








(Caitlin/realswanky was behind the lens for this one!)




































..and of course, a big group photo before the whole shebang! With so many WESTies, I think I'll have to bring in the wide-angle lens next sale.

  5. Having done shows for 30 years a successful endeavor is always the best. Success , for me, defined by contacts made for future sales and money realized. What is you definition of a successful show. What made it successful? What did you do as a group you will do again and what will you change? Important info for others wanting to follow your wonderful lead.
