Denver! Denver!

Whoa! Its been too long since we last chatted. I promise to do a better job of keeping you in the know as long as you promise to never stop being so wonderful. ha. great!

Between Halloween and the moment that I'm typing this there have been some pretty cool things going down.
First, we did a rather small craft fair in Littleton . It was quite eclectic and small and although not too lucrative, we DID meet some very nice people. Unfortunately I don't have any photos from this event so you'll just have to image Pterodactyls riding bikes and bears doing backflips with pink afro wigs on.
(ahem)

The second pretty cool thing is that Tomte is just as excited about WTS Creatures as we are! So now you can find our little friends on the modern craft shelves of their delightful store. We are really excited about this!
Currently they are located on Platte near 15th right now but are relocating to 41st and Tennyson. Depending on when you read this they might have already moved. December's first friday marked a sort of grand opening event to introduce everyone to Tomte's new space.
Considering it was the same night as Denver's parade of lights there was a really good turn out. Definitely check out their store or browse online cause the have a lot of great gift ideas.

This year was the first year that I attended the Fancy Tiger Holiday Handmade craft fair. Unfortunately WTS Creatures wasn't there with a table because we missed the deadline and it was very sad. Next year will be our time. Regardless it was a pretty awesome event. I attended Saturday kicking myself that we missed out on something so truly great. I visited with Sandra Fettingis and Roxanne of Paisley Bird, while crowds browsed their wares. This picture shows you the amount of crafty sellers and patrons as well as how neat the ballroom of the Sherman Street Event Center is.
In the short time that Denise and I have been enjoying WTS Creatures, we've met some incredibly talented and nice people in Denver's craft scene. Now "Scene" may be too pretentious a word but our experience has been nothing but positive. Going to the Fancy Tiger Handmade Event was excitingly inspirational. It makes me truly thankful to be a part of something so creative,positive and accessible. Walking amongst all those people made me want to go home and start sewing to create something new! I loved it. I think Denver's got it good here and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Don't forget Christmas is upon us! We're going to be flooding etsy with more fun and colorful creatures.
