High Tea Event at Dalton's in Canberra

Dear Designers,

If you haven't received an email outlining our fabulous line up of events for the launch of handmade living, please email Louise to have it resent.

One of the main events we're hosting is a gorgeous high tea at Dalton's bookstore on Sunday 12 December at 10:30am. W're inviting 10 designers to be part of this exclusive event, by hosting thir own card-sized table, showcasing their wares.

This will be display-only and although items can't be sold, you're welcome to do up order forms and provide cards and all your contact details to prospective buyers.

This will be a casual 90-minute event - you won't be required to stand at a table all the time - we'd love you to mingle with guests, have a cup of tea and sign books!

There's only 2 spots left - so get in quick if you want to be part of this glorious high tea. Contact Tania now.

And don't forget, we also have a book signing at Paperchain bookstore in Manuka on that same day - at 2.30pm. We'd love you to come along and sign books - bring your friends and family!

Book Coming Soon!

Hi all!

There has been a bit of hiatus as we wait for handmade living to print, but we have had confirmation that the books should be with us by the third week of November! So this is only 4 - 5 weeks away.

For those of you have ordered books to sell, you should receive your stock in the last week of November, if not earlier. We will let you know if the books arrive sooner than estimated.

It's all very exciting here at Handmade Canberra. We have been busy prepping lots of promotional events and will be sending out an email update soon.

Hope you're all well and staying creative!

The Handmade Team
