Pretty Craft Show

What is the Pretty Craft Show?

It's my first-ever art show where I am sharing my arts and crafts celebrating the everyday moments. You don't have to bring out the garlands, paper flowers and buntings just for a birthday party. Why not every day? This show is also the launch of my Etsy store, Catshy Crafts!

It is currently showing at Cupcake Royale Bellevue from August 1 - September 30.

What does it look like?

Well, if you're in the Seattle area, I hope you can check it out in person! If you can't, I am posting photos from the show here. So grab a coffee or tea and enjoy the show!

Can I buy any of the pieces?
Yes! Please e-mail me at cayla73@yahoo.com if anything catches your eye. I can also work with you to create something especially for you.

Is the Pretty Craft Show going on the road?
I wish!  After the show, all the pieces will be listed on my Etsy shop.

This is what the shop looked before I put up my work.

The night of my artist's reception.

Another view: Flower chandelier, tissue paper flowers and paper garlands.

welcome table at my artist's reception (9/2/2011): guestbook, flyers, business cards and felt giveaways.

my guestbook and a new use for those felt flowers, pen decoration.

Sofia had the job of handing out the giveaways at the end of the night.

We put the welcome table and wine and food near the outdoor patio and in front of where the band set up. Zara takes it all in.

Opposite the food/welcome tables, the band played some mellow music. Added a lot of atmoshere to the night!

 

View from outside | As the night wore on, the kids moved to the outdoor patio.

faux polaroids | In the front room, in one of the diamond pane windows  I have my faux polaroids made with a stamp, various paper (book paper, scrapbook paper and cardstock) and photos or small prints of my digital scrapbook pages.

Backroom of shop is bit more quieter and private | memory pages and project, more garlands (yarn pom, felt buntings, felted garlands)
