Country Living OH 2010

This past weekend I packed it up and headed to Columbus, OH for the Country Living Magazine Fair. I LOVE that I can merchandise both my vintage houseware finds and my artgoodies product line! A match made in heaven! I saw some friends I hadn’t seen in awhile, met the editor of the magazine and a couple other Country Living folks. Plus I met a couple of fans which was fun! This one girl asked to have her picture taken with me which was a first, her enthusiasm was great, she was super nice, and it really made my day.  Next stop on the show train for me- The Country Living Fair Atlanta! I hope my super duper awesome and ultra nice neighbors decide to do the show! Afterall, it wouldn’t be country living without great neighbors who you can borrow a cup o’ sugar from or say a hammer to pound your tent stakes in!

So I didn't make it out of my booth much this year because well, there were a few people! I snapped this pic as I was running back from the bathroom-and yes you can only imagine the line for the ladies room.

Here's my booth just before opening! All set up and ready for shoppers! I want to live here, oh wait I do! YAY! I feel SO very lucky to do what I love for a living! Next time I'll have to bring more cupcake pillows! They sold out in a matter of minutes!

The NEW cherry pie and bike designs were a popular choice plus my new corner cabinet display worked like a charm! And the little minty shelf added some pizazz! More display items this trip-the car was SO full, there were things tied to the roof and I had to hold my suitcase on my lap and computer bag at my feet on the way there! Our neighbor behind us could not believe we could fit our whole booth into a suburban. What can I say, my Dad and I have mad packing skills!

Vintage housewares! I love hunting these treasures down! I love merchandising the collections by color! And I love it when an item jogs a customer's memory and sends them back into the kitchen with their mom, grandma, aunt etc. I sure get to see a lot of smiles! And get aload of all those trays!

SOLD! My collection of state glassware was gone in a flash! Early birds got the worm on this one! Last but certainly not least, a huge thanks to my parents who helped me man the ship!

I am totally in *love* with my cake pan and tea cup! I bought the tea cup as an inspiration piece for the new paint we’re going to do in our house this next month, and then when we stopped at my aunts on the way home, I found out that my great aunt had the exact same set as her *fancy* tea cups! You made my day! Thanks again 🙂
