The "casual" opening of my New Suzie Q Boutique at The Crossroads Market was heaps-o-fun last weekend and my very first customer was Bethli (pronounced "Bately") D., who is one of the "original" Suzie Q Bead Gals from way back when I first opened in 2002, in the little chartreuse & orange house on 10 Ave. in Inglewood... YAY! 🎉😀
Bethli is incredibly creative, being a highly accomplished knitter, as well as an amazing (and prolific) "beader", specializing in bead-crochet, plus many other types of beadwork. Over the past (almost) 16 years of "The Q", Bethli has showed me a number of fabulous bead-crochet ropes, which begs the question... how many miles of bead-crochet rope have you created, Bethli??? 😊
Thanks very much to Bethli and everyone who came by my new shop at The Crossroads Market (#234 - 1235 26 Ave. SE), last weekend!!! I look forward to seeing more of my Suzie Q Friends over the upcoming months, during regular market hours: Fri-Sun, 9AM-5PM.
Here's how to find us at The Crossroads Market...
BTW... Please watch for our "Official" Grand Opening AND the arrival of our selection of TROLLBEADS!... YAY! 👍
You can stay in the Suzie Q "Loop" by SUBSCRIBING to my eNewsletter either on the right side of this page, or down below in the footer...can't miss it.
Thanks again and hope to SEE YOU SOON at The NEW Q! ~xo Suzie Q 💕❤️
The two weekends of my Suzie Q Studio/Beads POP-UP Shop SALE at The Crossroads Market were a total blast, especially seeing and visiting many, many of my Suzie Q "Bead Gal" Friends!
On the last day of my second "POP-UP" weekend, I was offered a PERMANENT SPOT at The Crossroads Market, which would mean you'd have access to my super-fab jewellery-making beads and components, PLUS TROLLBEADS, every weekend, on a regular basis... fun, or what?!
To gauge interest, I created a FACEBOOK POST requesting FEEDBACK to "LIKE" and/or "COMMENT" on the post to help me with MY DECISION with the following QUESTIONS:
"Would this be of interest to YOU?... Should I or shouldn't I commit to a regular spot???... If YES, Please let me know by "LIKING" THIS POST!"
In case you MISSED the POST and you'd like to express your opinion, please CLICK on this link >>>
Thanks VERY MUCH to everyone for helping me with this dilemma!!! ~ xo Suzie Q
WOW!!!
The number of responses to both of my Facebook Posts about whether to take the permanent space at The Crossroads Market has been both incredible and heart-warming to have such enthusiasm for me to forge ahead!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for providing your valued input to my dilemma!
My answer is a Resounding & VERY Happy...
Bead Gal Lynn and I have been crazy-busy, creating an ultra-fun & super-chic space for THE NEW SUZIE Q BOUTIQUE!
The NEW HOME of Suzie Q's is:
The Crossroads Market
#234 - 1235 26 AVE. SE, Calgary
(BTW... For those of you who attended the Suzie Q POP-UP Shop, our new spot is just a few steps away!)
With the hectic times of offering the two-weekend SUZIE Q POP-UPS and renovating the NEW SUZIE Q BOUTIQUE, progress on my NEW SUZIE Q STUDIO WEBSITE is on temporary "hold", but after the "official" Grand Opening of my new Crossroads Market shop, I'll get back to the finishing touches on the SQS website and ONLINE "Q" SHOPPING will START SOON... YAY!
