It all happened about a year ago, Nancy Soriano and Jo Packham of WHERE WOMEN CREATE phoned Ki to fill her in on their new venture. Ki insisted they check out Minneapolis on the weekend of the Junk Bonanza as a potential location , where they enjoyed vintage shopping and fun times. While there, they decided to make it official, the Creative Connection Event would be in Minneapolis in 2010, and would coincide with the Junk Bonanza weekend.THE CREATIVE CONNECTION event is a 3-day conference, crafting extravaganza and shopping emporium for creative women, women entrepreneurs and “mompreneurs”.
Nancy Soriano packs her treasures from the Junk Bonanza
Has it been a year already? I guess it has. I remember that weekend well. You see, I learned that being one of the only folks at the Bonanza with a rental car was a real asset, and I was quickly recruited to shuttle the VIP's around. These ladies are all so nice, and I was excited to hear their plans.
This month's Where Women Create magazine features our chief cook and bottle washer Ki Nassauer on pages 70-73.
Ki doesn't have a traditional creative space right now, her inspiration comes from the flea markets and junk shops where she finds her treasures. I've shopped with Ki and I know how focused she is. Ki's mind is always going and she can just look at an object and come up with at least 10 creative things that can be done with it. I'm sure you'll enjoy reading her story.
Ki will take a break from the Junk Bonanza Thursday evening Sept.16 for the Autograph party at Creative Connection . See the Creative Connection Web-Site for full details.

You won't want to miss either of these discussions, or the many other informative classes that will be held at the conference.
The Creative Connection will have a bus to take you to and from the Junk Bonanza.
It's gonna be a great time for all,
See you there-Margo
