I spent all day in the Javits Center setting up my booth, and I’m still not quite done.  (And the show opens tomorrow!)  Here are some pics to show the progression of my setup.  I spent the extra money to get the package booth, which included hard walls and lights.  It saved so much hassle – all I had to do was paint the walls.

I’m not 100% happy with the outcome – I think the platforms in the front of the booth are a little low, and in retrospect, the black and white seems a little boring.  But this is my first booth with this new work, and I know how long it took me to get a booth I was happy with for my jewelry.  So now I’ve got lots of things to think about for next time.

Speaking of promo materials – my new postcards just arrived!

I’m wrapping up some last minute gift show prep before I head to New York on Friday morning, and it feels like I’ve still got a million lose ends.  

Its no secret I love promotional materials, so I made these little hang tags for the new home collection.  They are actually business card size, cut in half on my paper cutter and then rounded with my corner punch.  I purposely kept them simple – just my name, web address, and a space for my retailers to put price info.
