END OF SUMMER AT GLAMOROUS GLASS



Our autumn leaf collection of bowls, glass vases and table centerpieces are perfect as part of your fall home decor. Check them out at http://www.glamorous-glass.com/Deco-Glass-Poland/ . Although we can't believe the summer is over, this year's fall is expected to be even more fun and exciting for us, at Glamorous Glass.

We kicked off a new season with some great people at the Milton Tweet-up which took place on a first Friday of the fall. We have finally met some of the Glamorous Glass twitter followers and those who are followed by us. This event was an excellent opportunity to put a face into our twitter profiles, and to finally meet each other outside of the virtual world. We were able to present Glamorous Glass as a real thing, with real us :) as the owners. We met some wonderful people, got a lot of advice and hopefully, established meaningful business relations.

Glamorous Glass became a member of the Women Who Excel networking group in Burlington. The group has been operating for over 20 years, and is led by a charismatic business person, Christine. Being a member let us participate in monthly dinners which are often combined with mini trade shows. This month dinner took place on September 28th. Not only did we have great meal at the Mandarin Buffet, but also had an opportunity to present our products during the trade show organized for the members of the group. We got some great feedback on our products, as well as on the idea standing behind Glamorous Glass. We had a chance to speak with retailers, real estate agents and beauty consultants. Overall, it was a fun evening.

The highly anticipated by us (and not only us) International Home Show begins on October 1st (Convention Centre in Mississauga, ON). Remember to visit our booth (#364). We hope you'll like our glass vases, table centerpieces, candle holders etc. which are wonderful as... Christmas presents. Yes, this time of year will soon be here, so go ahead and start shopping for special gifts at the International Home Show and of course, at Glamorous Glass :) Hope to see you there.

GLAMOROUS GLASS AT THE SOUTHSIDE SHUFFLE

It was a crazy, but fun weekend! After a long anticipation for the Southside Shuffle to begin, it is now the history. This three-day long event in Port Credit was full of great music, festivity and wonderful people.

Our adventure with this year's Shuffle started on Friday when we arrived at the Memorial Park in Port Credit to set up our booth (we were one of the vendors). The first person we met was Beatrice, vendors coordinator. Very dynamic woman who contributes her time to be a volunteer during various events in Port Credit. She did a great job during the whole Southside Shuffle. Way to go Beatrice!

We didn't even finish setting up our booth and displaying products when the first attendees to the festival stopped by to have a peak at our glass items-glass vases, bowls, centerpieces, candle holders, etc. And the ball started rolling. We really got an amazing feedback on what we carry. The people were emphasizing that the products are unique, great ideas for gifts and excellent pieces if somebody wants to change a bit in their home decor. Some of them even admitted that the prices were reasonable. All comments were a confirmation for us that Glamorous Glass is a viable venture, and that it will fulfill needs of those, who know what good art is, and who want to have their individual taste and personality highlighted.

The Saturday afternoon brought crowds to the Southside. Everyone enjoyed blues and jazz played on several stages set up in the Memorial Park and on Lakeshore, even though the weather in the evening did not spoil us (rainy, windy Saturday night). Sunday was an excellent, early-fall, sunny day so we had a lot of visitors and clients in our booth. Great day with great music! We especially enjoyed the performance of the Australian singer and guitarist, Kim Churchill. Check out his website. Very talented young man.

Time flies when you're having fun, and the Southside Shuffle is over. Now it's time to get ready for the International Home Show (October 8-11). Remember to visit our booth (#364).

GLAMOROUS GLASS GOT A GREAT PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITY

Glamorous Glass has received an excellent opportunity to promote itself in a local community. The Small Business Centre at the Regional Municipality of Halton (Ontario) provided us with a chance to present the products we will be offering. Therefore, for months of May and June all visitors to and employees of the Municipality of Halton will see glass vases, centerpieces, bowls, etc. offered by Glamorous Glass. They will be exhibited in the glass display at the Centre. We could not have imagined a better way to start market ourselves in our community.

So we want to thank all of the employees of the Small Business Centre, especially Yolanda, who expressed their interest in having our products displayed in their offices.
