Wondering what the $30 registration fee covers at the Homemakers Swap??

It’s a great question! 🙋

The biggest part of the registration fee goes toward renting the venue and creating a comfortable space where we can all get together, spread out, swap our creations and actually enjoy ourselves.

But there’s also a lot that happens before we all meet up!!

There’s the planning, organizing, coordinating, creating each month’s theme, preparing activities, arranging refreshments and prizes, designing and printing promotional materials, answering questions, keeping track of registrations, promoting the event and all the little details that go into making the day run smoothly.

So while the $30 covers the tangible costs of putting the swap together, it will also help make it possible for me to keep creating and hosting these events month after month.

The goal isn’t to simply host a swap. It’s to create a little community where we can make, share, swap, laugh, get inspired and meet new people. ❤️

There’s something special about seeing local talent become part of a project that will be recognized for generations.

Congratulations to whiskeyjack boutique (collab with Sarah | Muralist & Designer ) RARE Apparel , davehouledesign on being selected to help create merchandise and artwork for the new Gordie Howe International Bridge. What an incredible opportunity to leave a local mark on a landmark that connects Canada and the United States.

It’s inspiring to see Windsor-Essex creativity showcased on such an international stage. Well deserved! 👏🇨🇦🇺🇸
