Trunk show after glow

After a much needed break from the computer, we are back! The trunk show was a great success. It was a blustery day outside, but it was cozy and warm with beautiful people and their lovely creations. And I can't believe how great the swag bags turned out! Congratulations to all who got there in time to snag one! I'd love to hear: what was your favorite in the bags - and how did you use them? Did you buy some great Christmas gifts at Grasshopper? Did you schedule a sitting with Campbell Salgado? And thank you to the amazing vendors who joined us. It was so inspiring to see all the work they do to make such gorgeous and original products. I went home with quite a few treasures myself! You must check out the links on the trunk show page. And here are some pictures of the great vendors and the seriously, transformed space.

The trunk show

This year's trunk show is going to be so great! We have the most amazing people joining us. I'm just so excited every time I look at the products we'll be showcasing. Please check out the links on our trunk show page here. I plan to do tons of Christmas shopping as well as baby shower shopping! I'm so excited to have pregnant friends again! LOVELY jewelry. Darling clothes. Toys. Journals. Cards and tags. Books. Hats. Maternity skirts. As well as Cat products.

AND. Just wait till you see the SWAG BAGS. V.V.C. as my friend says. very. very. cool. We just can't wait to share it all with you. A little "kick off the season" gift.

Please don't forget to bring non perishable food items!! Let's make sure we do everything we can to keep the Oregon Food Bank stocked up!

Preparing for THE trunk show!

We are busy getting everything ready for the trunk show - from press releases to getting flyers printed and at the same time putting the finishing touches on all of our inventory that will be for sale at the show. Splendid wares has some lovely fall clothes and a boiled wool jacket that you just can't live without. In addition, she'll have what is left of her summer clothes at a discounted price. I know my daughter wore her Splendid Wares summer dress all winter last year over long sleeved shirts and jeans. The designs are so timeless, your daughters can continue to wear them next summer as well!

Firecracker Baby has some great new prints she is working with for her famous diaper bags - why did no one think of a machine washable diaper bag before?? She is also sewing up some really fantastic new handbags that can double as a smaller diaper bag with her signature pockets. keep watching the website for new designs.

O'Henry has some lovely new blankets as well that have yet to make it up on the website - there are so many beautiful fabrics out there, and so little time! New this year will be darling felted purses for little ones - from flowers to polka dots to a big smiling octopus! Watch for those on the website soon, as well. I'm also trying to finish a new pattern for a great little ragdoll who is SO easy to make and perfect for using up all those little peices of great fabric you have in your stash.

Ainsley and Oswald have joined our group this year and we are SO glad to have them! They have the coolest I spy with my little eye bags for hours of fun for your little ones, as well as the most adorable little felted animals. PERFECT for stocking stuffers. We are so glad to have Ainsley and Oswald! Check her out here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6688759
