A Day of Buying at the Show

February 3, 2014

Yesterday was a full, full day of buying at the show, finding inspiration and gems at every turn. I have written this before, but it is so true, and it strikes me each time I walk a show–it is like finding the needle in a haystack. Looking at hundreds and hundreds of things before you find that one. That amazing one. Yesterday I found many…

I would have sworn I clicked away more images, but you know I get in the zone. More to come tomorrow, for sure. Missing being in Seattle a tad at this moment as I am sure the energy in the city is just electric after the big Seahawks win last night at the Super Bowl. But there are so many Seattle folk in New York right now it is fun to feel the excitement in the air here.
