First PEI Sale
On Sunday October 23rd, i participated in my first sale in PEI, Farm Day in the City. Fortunately, I did check it out fall 2019 when i first moved here as i’m not sure its run since then due to Covid.
Well, PEI, you were fantastic to me! In every aspect.
Lisa, from Steele Ceramics really went above and beyond in helping me. She secured the booth space, brough the items to set up our booth space and we helped each other out all day. Without her Square device, i wouldn’t have made nearly as many sale. My biggest thank you is to her!
PEI Pottery Studio – for providing me space and ability to fire all my creations and all its members for their support.
My co-workers – for visiting, dropping me and my pottery off (and providing snack), and directly and indirectly supporting me in this.
All my wonderful customers ! wouldn’t have been an amazing sale without you!! Some have even posted pics of their mugs at home which is beyond heartwarming and amazing to see.
and everyone who stopped by to say hi! and those of you who couldn’t but wanted to and sent your positive vibes and well wishes.
It was an outstanding sale. Truly thankful and grateful for that experience!
