Lakewood show for June is underway.......

For this show I ended up working only ONE day on merchandise in the five weeks since the last one! I knew this month is sometimes slow, so I had to use the time to catch up on lots of cleaning, some traveling, some blog work for Lakewood's new blog, and some summer fun with Kayla.

Sooooo I've no new creations to show......but I did find that nice vintage window greenhouse that sold pretty quick. Martha brought in some cool new stuff, so that saved us!


I love this interesting wood piece--not sure what it might have come from.....


We do have lots of pretty flowers....handmade and heaven made......


If I don't start a new job, I should have time to finally get some of my new ideas completed for the next show, and get to use some of that vintage hardware, etc. I brought back from the trip--can't wait!

"Something In The Air"......meet Lee.....

I'm so glad Lee has moved into Hall G at the Lakewood show....she is a very interesting lady, and I love her booth....it's like walking onto the set of "Green Mansions"! When I first saw Lee's business card, I thought "Tillandsias" was her last name, but it's the botanical name of the types of plants (air plants--of which there are thousand of varieties) that she uses in her creations.

She takes unique containers and fills them with these interesting, low maintenance plants, and displays them with lots of unusual and fun accessories (love her use of tree branches and vines...can we ever get enough of them?)......
.
Lee is a photostylist who attended the Pratt Institute in NY, had her own graphic design business in NYC for 17 years, and was art director for companies like Wall Street Journal, Con Edison, American Express, and WABC tv.

Lee mentioned she had lived in Japan for 4 years, and has traveled the world extensively......I hope to get a chance to talk to her more at the next show and ask her about all the places she has been!

Stop in and say HI to Lee.......the next Lakewood show is in two weeks (uh oh....I'd better get crankin'...I have been so busy doing everything BUT getting ready for the show!!)
