Expo 4/24 & 4/25 - Pics Added

[BusyBumbleBee]

My 2 day expo is over. Saturday went pretty good, we met our goal we were hoping for that day and met some great people too. Even though we were there for almost 14 hours, the day seemed to go by pretty quickly.
Sunday was slllloooooowwwww. We did next to nothing the first 3 hours, and luckily things picked up for awhile after that, we ended up doing about $10 short of our goal Sunday, but all in all we had a successful weekend!
I already had someone e-mail me wanting to set up an e-bow party online that saw us at the show!! And that's a big part of why I like doing these shows too, is the customers that eventually come and shop online.
I did take pictures again because I had my Mother's Day section and I changed a few things. So I'll share those tomorrow sometime - I am working on adjusting my online inventory at the moment. Now I have 4 days to restock before my next 3 day expo that starts Friday. Fun fun fun!

So here's my stand. The over all look is the same, with minor adjustments and some new things added:

This table is pretty much the same, I did add in the newsboy hats and did sell two of them. (One for a baby boy!) I thought that was pretty good since it's getting warmer outside and people are going more for the headbands right now:

Here's my Mother's Day gifts grid. I only sold one tissue holder and I did sell 4 flowers b/c of the purse with the flower on it (women wanting them for theirselves). Didn't sell any neckwraps, eye pillows, or coffee cozies. I really do not think woman want to buy anything for themselves - which is why I make more things for children:

I organzied this table more this show. The side grid has $6.00 bows, the zigzap grid has $7 & $8 bows, which I know is hard to see in this picture:

So this is the hair clips, pretty much the same - but the sign above I used my new SILHOUETTE machine to cut out the letters! PS - LOVE my new Silhouette!

And my baby table. I build a small wall with those mini grids from Target b/c I had so many new colors of infant waffles beanies (Thanks to Vanitha's GB! - THANKS!) You can also see in the background I raised my butterfly wings onto a "laudry line." Sold quite a few of those! I like that everything is up off the table and easily viewable to customers - but with all these grids i almost feel like I'm in a cage in the middle of this booth. I will keep working on it:

We talked with a photographer who had a stand next to ours quiet a bit during that weekend and he kept saying - you have a really nice booth - but you need LIGHTING!! So, I'm working on investing in some lighting for future shows. I have to agree with him, and he'd know being a photographer. So any input on that subject from you lovely ladies is WELCOME!

[FRANCISBEL]

wow everything is gorgeous...

[sweetbabyk]

Everything looks great! I really like the look of how you do your booth. Most of my shows are outside so I'm confined to a tent.

Glad you had a good 2 day!

[Mandy]

I am really hoping one of the times I go to Mill's you are there so I can see all your stuff in person!!!!! It would be easier if the mall wasn't 3 hours away!!!! Looks great as always!!!!

[K's kustom bows]

omg... are you at the mills mall????

[BusyBumbleBee]

All you Posh Ladies in the St. Louis area need to come visit me next time!

[GrandmaJ]

Your set up looks great!

[K's kustom bows]

All you Posh Ladies in the St. Louis area need to come visit me next time!

I would love to come see you next time. Let me know and i will come visit, and meet you.

[ghandte]

Love your set up. I wish I lived closer. I would be so drawn to your booth.

[clovertine]

Your booth set up is really nice. I love how you have the bows organized by price. That's something that would really appeal to me as a buyer. On the last picture, on the left side of your table, are those baby wipes cases on the white stand thing? If so, I love that! I would love to find a stand like that. I'm always looking for more height.

And the lighting suggestion is a great one. One of my friends found a bunch of hook on lights that can use batteries or be plugged in for $4 a piece at Target a little while back. I've been meaning to get some lighting too, but I always seem to do outdoor shows with no electricity.

Everything looks gorgeous! Very appealing! I cant wait to be at that point with my crafts!
