Paying Attention to the Details....Baltimore Craft Show

Attention is in the details.

Last month I attended the The Best Craft Show Right Here in Baltimore... 

One  artist that I have been following, Leonie Lacouette , again had her clocks on display. Last year I admired her work but thought they were too big for my space. This clever business woman was open to a custom order so  I commissioned one for my home.

It just arrived this week and there was a personal handwritten postcard thanking me for the purchase and on the back of the clock was written my name..no question it was a custom order. The attention was definitely in the details.

It is now hanging on my kitchen wall over the small TV. Each time I pass this piece, I smile. It is like it was custom made for me..oh yeah it was!

                                              

                                      

Leonie Lacouette, the artist, made me feel special at the craft show when I placed the order. She followed through with an email and her delivery was perfect. The attention is in the details.

So many wonderful artists come to Baltimore for the ACC Craft Show....take a look at some of the previous shows..ACC Craft Show Baltimore 2012..More Than Eye Candy. 

Are we  making our clients feel special by paying attention to the details?

The Craft Show is in Baltimore this weekend and it is bigger and better. With over 700 exhibitors, it may be the largest indoor craft show ever. Everywhere you look there is beauty, eye candy, creativity and an excitement listening to the artists.  There was lots of positive energy and people were buying.

I have been going to these shows for many years and way before real estate. Was able to see quite of few artists from previous years and prior posts.

                                                          
                     

 Susan Provda was proud to be featured in The Baltimore Sun. Her specialty is hand made brushes. Take a look at Susan's earring!

 

                                                   

 Tom Clark has a way with exotic woods. Here is his Ulu knife with holder...a must in any chef's kitchen.

                                                 

       Textiles and lots of them. Here is a custom made throw by Loomis.

                                                    

                                                 

 Eugene Watson  was delighted to see his hand sculptured jewelry boxes featured on my post about last years show. Another good use of my iPad.

                                                 

Chandelier made of wine bottles. Good way to repurpose your glass bottles.

I found Susan Sanders and her "Silkworms." These very unusual necklaces are crafted of multiple silk strands and have a hand-made magnetic closure. Put it on and click, you're ready to go.   I own this one-of-a-kind in tones of browns, of course, with gold/bronze threads.

                                                 
           

My favorite clock maker Leonie Lacouette again has her beautiful timepieces on display.
