In like a lion.....

Have you seen the mountains? They are absolutely beautiful! Although, I'm not made for winter... you do have to admit that it is nice.

Vendor Call

Space is limited and are available on a first come first serve basis!

Vendor applications are due March 30th, 2007 for the Western Front.

Don't miss out. Submit yours today!

As promised..

As promised, here are some finished pictures of the office. Please excuse the leftover tools and paint supplies.

Yesterday was officially our first day back at work. It has been a great change to actually get up, get dressed and "go" to work. We share the building with 15 other studios made up of various artists i.e. graphic artists, actors, teachers, seamstresses, silversmiths, painters and other designers. We couldn't ask for a better work environment!

I have attached a few new pictures such as our working space, shelving area, consultation area and my lite brite work in progress (I ran out of pegs and havent' had time to look for more). We also bought a small fridge this morning as a part of our kitchen area!

Thank you to everybody who has popped in to say hi.

Any local artists and crafters out there?

lotus events inc. is pleased to announce got craft! Traditional crafts with a twist!

got craft is a fun and unique craft fair that brings a new age twist to the conventional craft fair. Started as a hobby, I was often disappointed with the standard fairs and decided to venture out and start my own! got craft was started to fill the void of modern and electic summer fairs in the City of Vancouver. What a better way to showcase local designers, enjoy some tasty treats, support the community and of course, buy some handmade goods!

Upcoming Events:

Saturday and Sunday, May 12th & 13th, 2007
10:00am to 4:00pm
Western Front
303 E. 8th Avenue (at Scotia Street)

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

Still Renovating Away!

After many very late nights, we have finally finished most of the renovations! We have filled in the holes, primed and painted the walls, installed new ceiling panels and fancied up a wall or two! For those keeners... Yes, we did paint the wall back to its original blue colour to match the glass design in the wall. More to follow....

Things are a changing...

Yes.. it is true! lotus events inc. is making the big move! We are finally moving out of the breakfast bar in our home and into a proper office area. I have attached a few pictures and we will keep everybody updated with the painting and renovations. It is like deja vu. Almost two years ago we were visiting Home Depot on a daily basis while painting and doing renovations at the house we are currently in.

Too bad... I will sure miss working in pj's!

Keep checking in for updates!

Happy January!

We hope that everybody enjoyed their holidays and had a much deserved mini-break! We are slowly getting back to our “normal” routines and have been busy preparing ourselves for the new year.

News:

This is the first year that lotus events inc. will be diving full blast into weddings. Our first magazine ad will be in the 2007 edition of Aislewalk magazine www.aislewalk.ca. Please check us out under wedding planners in the vendor section or visit the Wedding Fair at the Westin Bayshore this January 6&7 to pick up your free copy. Unfortunately, we could not make it to the fair this year as we will be in Seattle for the Seattle Wedding Fair. I know. It had to be on the same weekend!

Congratulations to Jen and David! They will be getting married on January 16, 2007 on the beaches of Nha Trang, Vietnam. We wish them all the best in their new journey together. Have a safe trip!

lotus events is heading south!
We are in the works with a few groups in the US to organize an indie wedding fair. This event will be held sometime next summer in the city of Seattle. The fair will include a mixture of traditional (photographers, invitations, florist) and non-traditional (handmade handicrafts, gothic, unique designs with a twist) vendors! If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact us.
