Melbourne Paper Arts from 2001

Paperific is coming up this Friday to Sunday.

Now, Paperific used to be called Melbourne Papercraft Exhibition, and before that it was Melbourne Paper Arts, and before that Melbourne Paper Crafts. I think I have that lineage right.

Anyway, at Melbourne Paper Arts in 2001, at St Kilda Town Hall, SERS had a stall!

We'd never done anything like that before (and I confess we never have since) but it was fun!

We had some members staffing the stall for a little while each, letting passers by sit down, chat, look at goodies we'd made, and do some stamping. We ended up with a lot of kids playing for a bit while Mum shopped. Since we weren't trying to do business, that was fine.

Here's Carolyn and Margaret on the stall, next to the Calligraphers and the Origami guys.
