CHA

I thought I would share with you the stand at CHA, the big Trade show in America that Sue, Andrew and I recently attended.

We took Candi, 24 new varieties which will soon be available on the website, and 6 new Wreath Kits.

We arrived at the show with our stand in just 3 suitcases .... and this is what it looked like before we worked our magic ...

After some magic .....

Karen created the fabulous giant Wreath for one walls and some gorgeous Candi letters to spell out Candi and Kits.  Sorry I didn't get up a close up of the letters but they were stunning and jam packed with Candi.

A closer shot of the giant wreath ....  Karen used the Bohemian Wreath kit flowers and added a few extras, birdhouses and birds, hearts and lots and lots of fun bright fabric around the edge ....

We had the new Candis to start with, together with some card samples ...  I had to make Candi flowers for each of the 24 new varieties and then found out I needed another 24 flowers for the new Candi Minis too!  Still I got Sue and Andrew to help with those flowers and we made them in no time.

Emma Smith's amazing birdhouse took centre stage surrounded by all the new Candi Minis along with some cards and scrapbook pages.  We had so many comments about Emma's birdhouse everyone thought she must have so much patience and then when they knew Emma had put glitter glue in each piece of Candi as well they were blown away!

Sue had a brilliant idea to decorate the edge of the table with Candi - we managed 2 rows random Candi all around and it was so tactile, everyone was stroking the edge of the table!  We were going to run a Make and Leave and try and cover the whole of the table - but thought we better not as we had hired the table and they might not appreciate a Candi mosaic top.  I can feel a project coming on!!

We then had a wall of new Wreath kits, which are absolutely gorgeous, some circles and some hearts and again these will be available on-line very soon! A lovely new bright coloured Wreath called Partytime, a beautiful embossed white and cream set and a fabulous red and pink collection.

Well that was our stand at the show - what do you think?  

Are you excited about the new Candi varieties?  Would you like to see them in more detail?
