Apologies for the late start. We're both back in our respective homes now after our whirlwind trip. One of the best parts of being at CHA is the people. If you haven't yet, don't check yesterday's post for Marnie's interview with manufacturer Greg Foster of Studio Calico. Not only is it the video for give.away.day, it's also a bit of information on a manufacturer that you may not know as much about yet.
We had the opportunity to speak to a buyer for an online kit club to see how she works figures out what to do about all the new products at the show. Thanks to Stacy for the insight.
We also had Marnie interview a couple of fellows from a {gasp!} NON SCRAPBOOKING booth. She thought you might be interested to see that there are other kinds of exhibitors at the show. It is the Craft and Hobby Association, after all. We scrappers tend to forget that there are other hobbies out there. This show had fewer exhibitors in general, typically that convention lumps the differnet groups together, but this time, scrappers were next to knitters were next to beaders were next to big box were next to magazines. It was definitely something different we noticed.
Occasionally we get into run into a WCS friend, Alexandra was at the show doing make and takes for Little Yellow Bicycle, and it was such a treat to have her pop into the Basic Grey booth to say a quick hello.
And there you have it, a couple of different views of the show. Thank you all so much for your sweet comments. Until tomorrow!
