*Warning: This post may or may not have small, hidden sneak peeks throughout ;)
Well hello there. Long time no see! How are you? I’m great, thanks for asking - even though my staff and I can be found buried under piles and piles that look a lot like this.
And this.
Why? (you ask).
Well, in conjunction with celebrating Bella’s fourth birthday, I thought it would be fun to give us a fresh, new look. I had this c-r-a-z-y idea to refresh our CHA booth entirely. And by that I mean NEW BOOTH. NEW WALLS. NEW FLOOR. NEW EVERYTHING. From head to toe we are in make-over mode!
Today I’m giving you a peek into the recent excitement & craziness that is planning, prepping, saw dust, hot glue and many more (Martha Stewart) related adventures ;)
After several hours of brainstorming, a plan is captured on paper (something like this) in efforts to get my entire team on the same page.
Then we begin sourcing, shopping, making a mess and making things.
It’s a lot of fun and ideas start coming to life. The booth begins going up.
And details are added.
And pieces begin to be placed.
Because our new fabrics with Riley Blake (insert link) are so delicious I really wanted to show them off in the new booth, so we hired an extremely talented seamstress to create a lot of fun stuff including this.
And this too.
We have this AWESOME new pink floor. Swoon!
More projects and finishing touches are in progress and will be completed soon, because the crate(s) will be shipping to CHA in Chicago next week!
….yippy skippy! Some of the new products are arriving by the truckloads!!! We will be shipping our NEW NEW NEW products shortly after CHA, in early August! Woot woot!
Sneak peek week will begin July 9th for your hungry eyes, so be sture to stop by each day! July 9th - 13th
And, in the meantime we have a fun, patriotic themed week starting on Monday! Laura and the girls have come up with some fresh features and great ideas for the Independence holiday that you’re going to love.
So excited! Happy Friday peeps! Off to finish this booth.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh the sneaks look AMAZING!!!! I so hope you keep this booth for the next winter show... lol.. I can't make it to CHA-S --- (insert sad face!) I am LOVING what I see!!!!!!
