Come and Gone...

It's Monday and Greek Fest has come and gone. All the hard work preparing for the three day event and it's over. It almost feels like it was over too fast. Koziol Kreations had one of the more prominent locations inside the Marketplace at the St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church Greek Fest 2008. It didn't matter which door you came in through, you were able to see our table right away.

The "hot" items were the Greece Bracelets, Athens/Acropolis Mousepads and Greece Hats. All of which COMPLETELY sold out. The t-shirts we had for the kids did really well also. We only have 2 left (one of each style, both size 6-8). Based on interest, we have decided to begin carrying items such as these in the store. We will also have more sizes for the smaller ones in the family. Onesies and infant wear were in high demand at Greek Fest, so we will have them at the shop in just a few short weeks.

Everyone at the fest seemed to like the fact that we have a store that is local. There isn't a "greek store" close to the Elgin Greek community so everyone was happy to know we are local. Even the non-greeks were pleased to hear about the Complete Bridal Salon in West Dundee. For those of you who haven't heard, we have a space inside the salon.

We have a new goal for the business... The new goal is to open our own store before Greek Fest 2009. That gives us one year to make this dream a reality. We will still be affiliated with the salon, as that is where we got our start, not to mention the incredibly awesome connnection to the bridal industry. Please post comments or send emails of encouragement as we pursue this new dream. Your support is always appreciated.

We would also like to say thank you to all the people that attended the Greek Fest at St. Sophia's this year and visited our booth.
