In a business like ours, there is little that makes us happier than meeting our friends {like you} face to face. This past week, we headed out to Chicago for the Craft and Hobby Association trade show where we could unveil our new collections.
It was a week of sharing a little piece of ourselves and getting to be a part of something we feel is pretty amazing. It fills us up to be a part of this industry that's overflowing with so many beautiful, kind and generous people.
The messages on our wall {both on Facebook and at the show} were the kind we want to keep in front of us always...
Because each one came from someone we feel is very special...
Overall, the show was a tremendous success. Of course, we were exhausted, but we pressed on with lots of this...
And while we didn't photograph it, the yummy dinners provided much needed R&R:
We met lots of customers:
Brandin did a few interviews:
And we got to hang out with a couple design team members:
So yes, you could say we're still floating on air after CHA...so filled with gratitude and so excited to start shipping our new lines out to you.
Did you know you can already order everything RIGHT HERE on our website?
All week we'll share tons of inspiration from our new collections, so be sure to come back tomorrow, you don't want to miss it!
Awwww, the pictures are looking great Brandin. I wish I could met you and the other girls one day ;-)
Hugs,
Nina

I wish I could have gone. I would totally have been star-struck meeting Brandin though.

Please stop showing your absolutely gorgeous designs...I want them all so much I've started dreaming about WP! Wish I had been able to go to the show in the USA. Oh, I can't wait until my birthday comes so I can get my hands on some new yummy goodies of yours. Wish I could find somewhere over here online that sells an entire new collection. Just have to content myself with some bits and pieces from everywhere. Please, please get more retailers to sell your gorgeous stuff in the UK.
