This past weekend The Outlet packed up a mini jewelers studio and moved into a booth at the Creativ Festival in Toronto.

Laura and Rachelle brought the most amazing selection of beads for the free Make and Take!

With a little bit of demo time, Rachelle managed to whip up this gorgeous bracelet!

The event allowed us to showcase the Outlet to people who may not have known we were reopened and bigger than ever.

Kids just love to bead!

And so do women!

It is safe to say that a great time was had!

 

 

 

The John Bead Outlet is going to be handing out coupons and running “make and takes” in their booth.  This is a wonderful event to meet many of our customers and to introduce ourselves to crafters who may not know about out store and location.

Creativ Festival is Canada’s largest mixed media DIY consumer show dedicated to the creative arts of sewing, knitting, beading, spinning, weaving, felting, quilting, crocheting, stitching, scrapbooking, crafting and other fibre, textile, needle and paper arts! Bursting at the seams with hot products, ideas, trends and how to’s. Unbeatable shopping is infused with up-close-and-personal hands-on instruction! Plus, artisan made ‘gifts to go’.

 

I have posted in the past about the wonderful collection of crystal figurines in the Outlet.  Many of the pieces are collectible.  They will not be restocked.

If you need unique corporate gift ideas, now is the perfect time to shop in the Outlet.

The crystal flowers are just stunning.  You won’t be disappointed in the collection you will have to choose from.

There is an entire aisle of the Outlet which was created to service costume designers.

One of the largest events we help provide materials for is the Toronto Caribbean Carnival, formerly and still commonly called Caribana.

These are fabulous examples of what Caribana designers make for their customers!
