We were asked to submit a display, showing the design development of our new Iris Wallart, from concept sketches to the finished product. This was used to reinforce the handmade theme of the show by giving viewers an insight to the creative process. |

'Fashioning your Interior Space' Seminar at the Spring OOAK |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
At the Spring One of a Kind Show in Toronto, Wendy Russell, Host of HGTV's "She's Crafty", picked two of our products for her presentation on "Fashioning Your Interior Space". She suggested that our brightly coloured Wallflower, which she's holding, would compliment a little girl's room. |

32 YEARS AT THE ONE OF A KIND CHRISTMAS SHOW |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We were presented with a special plaque from the One Of A Kind organization, for our participation in the show for the past 32 years. We started back in 1978 when there were only about 80 exhibitors. Now there are over 800. We've attracted a lot of attention at the shows by wearing flashing bowties, lighted vests, special "Fairthorne" outfits, but the one thing that everyone remembers, even though it's been a few years since we've worn them, is our tuxedos - some with top hats, some white, some very formal tails. We've even won 'Best Booth' awards a few times, too. It's been a lot of hard work but we've had fun with, and enjoyed serving our customers over the years. Thank you for your continued support. |
