Surtex!

I'm just back from my first time showing at Surtex, where I shared a booth with my friend & fellow designer Shannon Hays. It was a great experience & so much fun!

When things settle down, I'll have a chance to write a recap with any helpful tips I can think of, but for now I just wanted to share some pictures from the show.


Here we are on set-up day, relieved to have our banners up. 
Shannon came up with the idea for the house on the back wall, 
and our "Come Out & Play" theme, which I loved.



My half of the booth.



For my side panels, I created a scene showing a bunch of happy friends heading to. . .



. . . a baby bear's birthday picnic!



A close-up of my shelf, where I displayed some greeting cards, 
little wrapped presents, and a pillow & cute baby hat that my daughter 
sewed with my fabric from Spoonflower. She did a great job!



My portfolio book, postcards, and other promo materials, ready to go.


It was a great few days. Now time to get back to work!
