The Material Girls take Kingston by storm, or was it the other way around??
Here are some pics:









It was certainly a very rainy day, but festival goers were in good spirits, and responded well to our stuff. Let's cross our fingers for sun next year!!

mission statement brainstorm

The Materials Girls Collective:
Five Fantastic Crafty Women. Hip crafts inspired by fashion recycling, local materials, need and desire. We make crafts for all ages. From dolls to t-shirts, underwear, and casual apparel to laptop, market bags and handspun yarn, we're talented.

Supporting local crafters is a great way to enhance the creativity in your community.

We had a great meeting on Monday. Decisions were made, fun was had..inspiration was incubated.

Highlights include:
- Erin will be confirming our participation/space with the Farmer's Market people
- Willa will be building a sandwich board for a (temporary) sign
- Sarah will start thinking of some logo-type ideas and research a cash box
- Miriam will find out about tables
- Kristyn will start a blog (done!!), work up some simple excel printouts for sales etc., put together our schedule electronically..which I am working on

Our next meeting will be Sunday night at 8pm at Erin's place.
