Artisans of Houston

Hello everyone!

Ana Maria and I were at the LaCenterra Farmer's Market for the Fa La La Christmas Market this Saturday, Dec. 6th. It was a beautiful day; sunny, clear skies, lots of good foods: coffee, fresh brown eggs from free-range hens, lots of lovely gift items around the square. I met three new artisans who are very interested in joining our group, looking for more exposure, as are we all. I will be inviting them to our blog site soon. They wish to come to our January meeting and are excited to meet up with other artisans. I explained that we want to grow our group so that eventually we can have our own "Artisans of Houston Art Fair" or even our own Trunk Shows and they all seemed to like that idea. Slow but sure, we are getting closer to our goals.

I was encouraged by people who took my "Custom Orders" form to fill out at a later date. I'm hoping to get more commissions for windows this way. It seems each time I attend an art fair, there are more people asking for commissions. I want to pass this encouragement along to everyone else out there, because it can be done in any art form. I know several of us have "Custom Order" forms...have you thought about doing this for yourself? It's another opportunity to advertise, which eventually may increase sales. At least, that's what we're all hoping.

If I don't get back on here before Christmas, everyone have a beautiful, loving Christmas with whoever is important to you in your life.
