It’s time to start getting ready for the Bead Bazaar, which will take
place at the Holiday Inn in North Haven on September 10, 2005.
All guild members are invited to sell their beads and jewelry items
for a small commission to the guild. If you would like to help
out at the show, you will pay a 10% commission. If not, we will
sell your items for you at the table and you will pay a 20%
commission. All items should be affixed to a card for a uniform
look to our items. Cards and inventory sheets will be provided.
We would like to ask that you submit your best work, and
will try to accommodate everything that people bring in, but if
there is a huge response, we may need to limit the amount
of items per person to sell. (It will be a liberal limit…like 25
or so) ALL ITEMS SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN TO
THE AUGUST MEETING, COMPLETE WITH INVENTORY
SHEETS! If you can’t make it to the meeting, or need a bit of
extra time to get your items together, you can make an
arrangement to get them to me (Lynne) by August 31 at the very latest.
