Hello again from Anaheim! Today is day three and our last day here. We've had a very busy and productive three days - talking with manufacturers and seeing many friends. It's always a very full day and we're exhausted, but also very satisfied that we've done what we came to do.
So, without further ado, below are our ten favorites from today. Sort of like a Ten on Tuesday, but on Wednesday, and maybe more like 11 or 12:
We loved these birds cut from patterned paper in the EK Success booth. We've noticed that so many booths have displayed projects and ideas that are do-able and cute and very Etsy-esque.
And they are releasing a new line of decorating paper sheets for lining drawers or tea trays or shelves. Very vintage-y and a great way to add color to a room.
We had a great time talking with Layle Koncar at Basic Grey and catching glimpses of Kelly Goree doing her make-and-take magic. We loved the Basics line at Basic Grey:
Lovely neutral-ish papers in white, cream and kraft. Love the lines and graphs! And this was Elizabeth's favorite paper from today from BG's new Green at Heart line:
Doodlebug is one of my favorite companies (my obsession with their Frills is still very strong) and we loved their Feeling Groovy line with all the rainbows:
We loved meeting with the Studio Calico group in their new booth and the sneak peek at their new Anthology line. Their products are so unique and inspired and their design team knows how to work it:
And then right next door to the SC people was this tiny booth with a totally awesome product:
Japanese tapes in a variety of colors, patterns and widths. Very delish.
We came across a newer company with a great line of canvas and burlap products for scrapbooking and home decor, Canvas Home Basics:
(Marnie is our adorable model here. I still can't believe we're finally all here and that our time together is almost up. Trying not to be too sad about that just yet.)
And then we headed back over to the Making Memories booth to make a necklace make-and-take and found out that...
...Marnie won a Slice! Yeah Marnie!
Then we saw this adorable Advent pennant project at the Maya Road booth and some adorable pennant stamps. Have we mentioned how much we're loving all the pennant and garland products and projects we've seen at this show? So cute.
Then we saw the adorable Claudine Helmuth at her booth demonstrating some of her mediums and paint products:
She also has these packs of sticky-back canvas material that she used to make this purse. She is so creative:
We've had been such a great time here at the show and Marnie, Elizabeth and I have thoroughly enjoyed our time together. We've got a lot to do in the next several months and we're so excited about what's to come. Here's wishing them both safe travels tomorrow as they head back to their families and catch up on their sleep.
Stay tuned tomorrow for Giveaway Day and for a CHA wrap-up from Elizabeth on Friday.
Cheers!
