Off to NYC....Surtex and Stationery Show

This was last years Surtex booth, I kept things simple from past years fun themes since I felt a little burnt out from creating new booth concepts. I think it came out quite well. I can remember all the booth designs I did. The first year was a living room type theme with painted striped walls and frames that housed my designs. The second was a garden theme with a picket fence made from foam core and flowers also in which I put my designs in the middle of the flower. That was a good one and I was 7 month pregnant with Colby! I even had my photo taken for the press of the show. I made sure I sat in front of the table for that one.

The following year a laundry theme in which I had a closeline with foam core clothes that had my designs on them!! That was the year someone stoled my new design book! Many Surtex exhibitors were very concerned after that about leaving anything in the booth. They had to know what they were looking for since I really hit it well!!! The following years I just stream lined it down and did a fun bright booth that was simple, yet stylish.

I am glad not to go through the stress this year and will enjoy it more!! I will be meeting clients and friends and
checking out the newbies booths. I wish all who do the show the best and I will see you soon!

Tomorrow I leave to go to NYC and hang with old friends and shop a little then Sunday I will be at the show. Next week I will post all the going-ons I see there, so until then have a great weekend!!
