“Beauty & Bling – a Mother’s Day Shopping Marketplace”

artist — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 21:54:59 +0000

We just wanted to let you all know that we are changing the show to “Beauty & Bling – a Mother’s Day Shopping Marketplace” in respect to the fact that the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival is now taking place on the same weekend. We have decided to completely focus the show to honoring Mothers and offering quality local handmade products for people to pamper their Mom’s and Grandma’s with.

Therefore we will also be changing the hours of the Friday Evening from 4pm-10pm to 11am-5pm. This is due to the change in the nature of the show as well as the fact that Friday is a Pro-D Day (no school) in Surrey & therefore families will be out and about shopping for their Mother’s and Grandmother’s.

An updated version of the application will be ready for downloading on January 31, 2010.
Regards and Thank you,
Nicci & Marco

2010 Show applications arriving daily! Get yours in today!

The run down for 2010 so far:

CrEaTiVe FiNdS presents “Beauty, Bling & Burlesque” (The B3 Show) on May 7th & 8th st Sullivan Hall this year. Stay on the waters edge and think what if or just jump in with both feet, hey? Friday night there will be a wonderful array of vendors to shop from for Mother’s Day treats while we are blushingly entertained by some local lovely Burlesque Performers. Saturday will be slightly tamer for our more bashful clientele (no stage performances on Saturday). The shows application form is now posted up on the website for downloading . We are also inviting ATC (Artist Trading Card) Artists to participate in the show by sending in their submissions to the “Bright and Beautiful Burlesque ATC Showcase“. CLICK HERE for details.

CrEaTiVe FiNdS presents the 4th Annual “Winter Art & Fine Craft Marketplace” on Nov 13th & 14th. Applications have already been pouring in and you can download your copy today by clicking HERE.

Hi Everyone,

We ended up with 5 door prize gift baskets compared to our regular ’2′ this year, which in turn was thanks to our wonderful vendors and their handmade high quality donations.

We invite you to take a look at our photos on FLIKR and and vote for the best vendor display! Whichever vendor gets the most vote comments on this blog post will win!

You might want to also watch our ‘Wrap Up” video on YouTube.

Mark your calendars for our “Bags, Bling, ad a Little Burlesque” show on Mother’s Day weekend (application will be ready soon).

Have a wonderful night, Mele Kalikimaka, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Joyous Noel and good night Jim Bob.
