A stop at Booth 1842-MadeByGirl (Part 1)

The 'National Stationery show' was a great learning experience for me and my business. Exhibiting gives you an opportunity to network and meet people in the press you normally wouldn't be able to reach online. I'm so proud of my booth it didn't let me down, everything stayed intact!  Please leave your comments, good or bad, I can take it.



*Above, some of the fashion I wore at the show- for those who were curious.



*More fashion above...



*Before set up - what a mess!


*Hmmm looking good- what a difference the frames make.
We actually created those frame wallpapers ourselves.


*More NSS pics to come.........

  6. Your setup is amazing! One of the best I think I've ever seen. Its very inviting, like a laid back lounge art gallery. It looked like a lot of thought was put into it and you really care about your products. The frames for the cards is a wonderful idea! Seriously I'm blown away!

  13. Girl, your booth looked amazing!!! I kik myself for not finding it! I don't know what happened:(
    I thought I went through the show twice... what else have I not noticed:(
    Judging from the pictures, you and your booth looked fabulous!!! good call on the mint green dress! Also, I noticed that if you had large bold graphic in the booth (like your love posters) it would catch the eye and pick the interest (after all, there was a ton of fab stationery and you just had to stand out to get noticed).
    I hope the show went well for you!!!! xo,helen:)

  16. OH WOWWWW! thanks so much to everyone whos commented so far. I'm so glad you guys liked the setup. It was a lot of work but worth it.
    I have to admit, i TOTALLY miss ny. There is nothing like it! Being back home in VEGAS, is so different and i miss the variety of restaurants, the Starbucks on every corner, cute guys on every block....hehe Its so true though!

    Helen:
    I wish I had gotten a chance to walk the show myself. I did just a little but had to get back to my crew at my booth. I can see how you may have missed some rows...its like a maze there hehe- maybe next time! : )


    Shoptalk:
    That was sweet, thanks! I picked up several more stores at the show so thats exciting! Including a BIG one I cant talk about yet...don't want to jinx it!


    KatieDid:

    Thanks! The chair and pillows were my faves too! The pillows i bought from London..via Karen Hilton Designs. She's such a doll and her work is fabulous.


    HEATHER:
    How are ya? Yup, I should be posting more pics this week...!

    ERIN:
    The wallpaper got lots of attention at the show, 2 women even came over at one point and thought they were real frames...it was too funny. My production manager and I did the layout and got them printed for the show. They turned out really cute. thanks!

    MARILYN:
    Thats such a cool compliment, thank you so much.


    MEGAN:
    Hi there! So sweet of you to say that...thank you!
    Glad you liked the dresses too...although it was so cold in NY- i still wore them. : )

    SARAH:
