| This was my FAVORITE thing at the show... beautiful lighting by Lindsey Adelman Studio |
 |
| this is my self-portrait (right mirror!) in the Palo Samko booth.. these lovely mirrors were a highlight! |
I know, I know.. it was weeks ago and but I have just gotten around to writing about it, contrary to what a few people are saying it was pretty inspiring, although I didn't realize this so much until I went through my hundreds of photos.. The show seemed pretty small this year, but maybe that's just me... there was no one color that ruled, but there was lots of color, indigo, orange and really nice sharp colors. There was not really a theme that ruled either, there were beautiful and modern applications of technology and also quite a bit of nature. Thankfully there were a few kid-centric businesses that attended and I have highlighted all of them.

 |
| I am embarrassed to say that I don't know the name of this place but it's the taqueria and a VERY good one! (on Elisabeth just below Houston) |
The trip ended up to be a family trip as both myself and my husband wanted to see the show and we both had business in NYC... so on the way down I had to prepare with a pedicure in the CAR! This is not for a novice... it's not as easy as it looks! We didn't drag the kids to the show but tagged off and took turns going to the show and so the kids and I went to have lunch at this fantastic place on Elizabeth Street, it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon... impossible to get a table anywhere in Soho/Nolita PLUS our dog in tow... so this was a great solution! Even Marley had a good time!
Then we took a break in between shifts for a glass of wine and french fries... party UP in the city!
Then it was ONTO the show for me!! and here we go into the details and show highlights!

 |
| Lisa Grue selling her passion! |
I have to add a message here, I probably spent the most time in Lisa's booth... these are amazing kits! and yes, is you even MILDLY beg me I will get some for the shop! they are $95/usd from Denmark (?) she is a wildly successful graphic artist, yet she feels that so many people don't work with their hands anymore, SO Lisa is doing something about it... she has created these kits, which take you step by step though the process to make your own wall hanging (or pillow.. or whatever you want to do with it!) she gives you stitches and yarn and everything! She is a terrific lady with a great message! Slow down, don't watch TV... MAKE something! with YOUR OWN hands.. and what a beautiful result!
