We had few virtual trunk show last year. There may be a few this year but with our current COVID restrictions there are none currently scheduled. Check the events section and the website for special happenings at the store. It has come to my attention that we have not done a very good job conveying to you just what a trunk show is. During a trunk show, a vendor or bead artist sends or brings a wide assortment of their products or work, much more than we can stock in the store. This allows you to have a much broader and larger assortment of merchandise from which to choose and perhaps the opportunity to meet the artist who created the bead you just love! Trunk shows are held for 1-2 days, usually over a weekend. At the conclusion, the remaining merchandise is returned to the vendor or the artist packs up and goes home. Virtual trunk shows are held on the vendor's site with some specials for Creative Castle customers.Stay tuned for info on this.
