It's SHOWTIME!!!


We had an huge snowstorm here in Georgia this week... 
but as you all know, the show must go on!!

Brent and I drove to downtown Atlanta with the car loaded down with plenty
of wonderful smelling soap to stock our shelves at the Merchandise Mart....
The roads were quite tricky but Brent was very cautious ~

We got everything up to the sixteenth floor and I started
working on our display....
I knew that the apothecary jars I found would be a BIG draw
so I knew they had to be placed on the very top shelf.





We had a beautiful, tall vase that I filled with grasses and curly willow ~


Here are a few shots, front...back...and  a few close ups.

















Let's all pray, cross our fingers and do a little dance
in hopes that our new line will be received well
and that the orders will start pouring in!!

Thank you all so much for cheering me on ~
new things are scary but
with friends like you supporting me...
wonderful things can happen!!!

Wishing you great Wednesday my sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Dawn- your display looks great! This is the first year in 15 years I will not be attending the Atlanta Market, I was a sales rep for Enesco on the 16th floor of the gift mart. I miss it...never thought I would say that! but I do. I hope you have a great show! Let me know if you are ever looking for someone to rep your line in NC and SC...I have a huge contact list!
Best Wishes!
