This year’s Christmas Market is set to go for Saturday November 21, 2009, 9:00 to 1:00. We will be opening up the upper hall as well this year to accomodate more tables. Please confirm your intention to participate as soon as possible to make sure you have a space.
Spaces are $10/spot plus a $2 table rental if you choose to use our tables.
More advertising has been booked to support the event.
If you would like your particular business’s name mentioned in any ads we ask that you donate a craft item to a raffle being held to benefit the church. Larger items will be sold by silent auction, also to benefit the church.
Thanks , looking forward to hearing from you!
…if you wish to participate contact Jean and Lynn at the Church of the Good Shepherd,

(i participated in this show last year. there is a mix of vendors as it is a small show. great for beginners and thats why i personally went… to get some experience under my belt at a really low cost. but then again, a great fee is good for anyone. the more great artist we have, the more shoppers we could pull in, and the more income we will all make. either way… UROCK will be there. hope to see you too)
Do you have an etsy shop? Do you live in Kitchener or Waterloo? Are you looking to meet other talented artists… join forces… learn from eachother … grow stronger… better… and radically change the world of handmade? ……. okay maybe its nothing radical …since there is a lot of handmade action already taking place, but everything is better in a team right?!
SO JOIN THE NEW KW ETSY TEAM and be a part of something great for KW!
The team is looking for artist of all kinds. Your goods must be handmade (by yourself) and you must live in kitchener/Waterloo or surrounding Area. We encourage our memebers to join Etsy, but it’s not a necessity.
Each month Melanie will pick 3 artists from different categories and post their bio on the front page of the website.
Allow shoppers to search the whole team by adding KWteam to your etsy listings (under catagory)
Flickr KWteam group with postings of local shows, stores
Soon there will be a forum for project talk, tips and methods.
PLUS imadeit will be lending a hand in creating local craft shows for the artists. it going to be great!!
have to go back for a little more training (icky school) but hopefully my brain will suck up knowledge quick-time, and i can grace you with the rest of the plan.
Waterloo has made me an incredible offer, and im giddy with glee. but it means nothing if i dont have your support, and participation.
the deal: Run an art market outdoors every Saturday from May thru September called ART LOOP
it will not only be an imadeit event but a Waterloo way of life. it will be marketed larger than we ever have; street banners, tourism guide… etc. along with the artisans we will include vintage/antique vendors. as usual we will include musicans, either every weekend or once a month. but i dont think we will have trouble finding music.
the place: the space beside the Clay and Glass Gallery is screaming for funky unique vendors amongst the trees + flowers. if you are not familiar with the area… right across the street (towards red trees on left) is the Waterloo Library; to the right (behind the clock tower) is the new Waterloo Town Square; behind me is the old train that runs from Waterloo to St. Jacobs; on the far right (out of the shot) is the Seagrams Museum.
But without the talents of all you fabulously creative vendors, this will not work. i would like to know if running the art market every weekend is too much. please let me know by answering the poll below….
Elmira has added handmade to their downtown with the creation of an indoor market. They run every Saturday, and you can have a table for a mere $20. The market has been open since May 16 and is a work in progress.
