Before the show

Posted on 15 August 2009

I’m busy gearing up for my first tradeshow, POOL in Las Vegas. We are still awaiting our booth number, but I’ll post it up here just as soon as it’s available. We are sharing a space with some amazing jewelry designers like Prismera and Amy Bengtson, so I’m hoping our wide range of complimentary designs will snare a lot of customers. I decided to participate in the tradeshow circuit because I understand that sometimes it’s difficult for stores to place big orders without having seen and touched your work. Try as we might, the internet just can’t compare with the real thing. I know I can’t throw down any large sum for a product I haven’t actually seen in person, so why don’t I give my stores the same opportunity?

One of our very favorite stores, Velouria, will be opening a new branch in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle this fall. We just love this store and it’s owner, Tes de Luna, so please stop in this fall and take a look at the awesome local design talent she represents.
