We packed everything in a trailer and headed North for the winter. Now we know why the birds head south. It sure is chilly here, but there’s nothing quiet like Chicago in the winter. A brisk walk amongst the tall buildings and the crisp breeze off of the lake.
This was our first time at the Chicago Gift Show and we weren’t sure what to expect. We decided to show there for a couple of reasons. First, we didn’t have a good network of retailers in the Midwest (only 3 stores in IL) & second it’s easy for us. We’re used to doing the drive to Chicago to visit my mom & dad and Teagan got to hang with the P’s while we peddled our wares.
We walked into a hard white walled booth. I was hoping to be able to paint, but apparently that’s a union job.
Before:
Not knowing what we could/couldn’t do with the walls we didn’t bring anything, but figured a shopping trip or two would be in order. After a trip to one of my staple stores & of course IKEA and a few hours of work, we pulled it all together. Sterile no more!
After:
It’s amazing how an empty white space can be transformed!
