last day of the boston gift show - i hate to see you go!

Sadly, today is the last day of the Boston Gift Show. It seems as though its been my been my focus for so long now – I'm definitely going to miss the entire experience once it's over at 1:00 this afternoon. I would consider it a huge success. We took orders - which is key. We networked with vendors, buyers, reps, suppliers and had a great time in the process. Debbie and I met gallery directors, museum shop owners, specialty catalog developers and more. Even with a slow day yesterday due to the lousy weather I had fun chatting it up with my booth neighbors from California, New Jersey and Seattle. A lot of opportunities presented themselves and it's going to be really interesting to see which of them pan out - hopefully all of them! I'll keep you posted on each one as they develop.

More booth talk. Down to the final touches at this point. Pulling off a booth on a budget is no small task and requires lots of man hours and creativity. The positive side is that my booth will be like no other and will definitely have the Boston Baked Beads stamp on it. I'm enjoying the process and won't know what to do with all my time after the show's over. Hopefully filling wholesale orders?
