I've been invited to participate in the Northwest Fine Woodworker's Show in Portland, OR April 25,26,27, 2008 At the Portland Convention Center. If anyone is going to be in the area, I'd love to see you!

I wish i was going to be in the area - I'd like to see your work "ïn person" but it's a bit far from here ..

Have a great show anyway...

Hi Janette. Will this be the only show in the Pacific NW ? I attended a Wooden Teddy Bear show a few years ago .I may drive down if not in Las Vegas that weekend . It is a nice drive and a beautiful state .

It's not a woodworking show per se like the "picnics" - it's an actual show for selling finished pieces. I haven't heard of any others like the Wooden Teddy bear one for the area. I know last year it was cancelled. It would be nice to see them have it again. I have never been to one. If you make it, be sure to come and see me! I think a lot of the other woodworkers there are furniture/fine art types. there's also a glass guild, metal guild, weavers, jewelery, potters shows at the same time in the same place. Overall, it should be a huge event.

Sounds like a great show to get into Janette! Best of luck with your sales.

Thanks Kevin. Although it's a fairly new show, it seemed like something that might be worth getting into on the ground floor so to speak. It can only get bigger.

Hi All,
We're back from our big adventure in the city! I took photos and thought I'd share a few with you all. I was actually the "low end" stuff! The show was great, people nice and we had a great time.

It sure is a talented bunch of people and I feel honored that I was invited. It was particularly difficult for them this year as George DuBois, the founder of the group passed away just a couple of weeks ago so everyone pitched in to pull it off. I didn't know what to expect as I had only met George and none of the other members, but I was made to feel welcome. Will definitely be going back next year! I sold a ton of little magnets and 13 intarsia pieces in all price ranges so it was a success. I think there'll be some calls later on too- gave out nearly 200 business cards.
