Time to Decorate!

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

Hi there, and Happy Sunday! IMG_2873

 

This weekend, I’ve spent quite a while doing some deep cleaning at home. This means moving furniture to run the sweeper, wiping down the cupboards, washing the baseboards, and putting away my spring and summer decorations to make room for my fall and Halloween! Of course, I LOVE Halloween. It just might be my favorite holiday, and I like to do it big! Here are some of my favorite Halloween decorations. You might recognize them – they are from the 2010 Dan DiPaolo line! I have several of the pieces, and I cover my TV stand with them.

I love summer!  In fact, I love everything about summer!

Spending time with my kids at our local swimming hole, making pitchers of sun tea on the back porch, running around barefoot all day and night, and visiting local farmers markets are just a few of my favorite summer activities.

Now that Easter and Mother’s Day are behind us, it’s time to think fall and Christmas!  Stock is selling out quickly and we start shipping fall product in less than a month.

Trade Show Travels!

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

116-85684It is hard to believe that the 2011 winter trade show season has arrived!

This is traditionally the busiest time of year for the sales department as our customers visit our showrooms to check out all of the creative new merchandise from Blossom Bucket.  It is always great to catch up with our customers and work with them as they make their purchasing decisions.

This year, I will be working back-to-back-to-back-to-back shows:  Philadelphia ~ Atlanta ~ Las Vegas~ Market Square.  This is a crazy schedule, and it is hard to be away from my family for so long, but with all of that travel, winter seems to pass by a lot more quickly!
