wow. the first portobello west of the year came and went so quickly!

it was a flurry of getting ready. setting up my display space and general hubbub on saturday morning. amidst all the mayhem was yet another truly wacky vancouver weather day. hail. snow. sun and wind. all over the city throughout the day. it made for a slower first day than i liked, but my bud deb was there to keep me company in the afternoon.

sunday was much better both on the artshow traffic and weather sides of things. gorgeous, stunningly beautiful day… the kind only vancouver gets after a weird day of weather. the mountains were magical with fluffy clouds tucked in the hills and valleys… freshly caked in new snow. as i said, gorgeous!

the foot traffic at portobello was way better too. the show is usually only on sunday, so i think that threw alot of the regular portobello shoppers off a bit. sunday was all good though. lots of shoppers and lots of new contacts were made! a successful first show of the year in my opinion. here are a few quick shots of the display area. i’m still working on it… but the bits and pieces are good i think.

so i’m back at the usual… packing and shipping orders that are patiently waiting for my attention. finishing off the last few things for INSPIRED. it’s t’s birthday on wednesday, so there will be a quick dinner out and a more intimate, leisurely morton’s steak house meal on friday night. two final home games for the canucks this week… tomorrow and saturday, so this week is shaping up to be a busy busy one! let’s hope my intestinal pain from thursday and friday doesn’t reappear [don’t ask! let’s just say a trip to the hospital was narrowly avoided - no time for an appendix problem at the moment!]

alright people… in the words of kal, i’m gearing up for a big GO! this week. catch you soon =)
