Preparing for Christmas 2012!

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

New for 2012! 128-85625Just one more day! I can’t believe how quickly the Christmas season has come upon us. At Blossom Bucket, we are working with Christmas product all year long, so sometimes when we’re in the middle of the holiday season, it’s easy to forget what time of year it is. In fact, I just spent the last week in our new showroom in Dallas setting up the 2012 Christmas display! The winter show season starts the first week of January, and we’ll be featuring our 2012 Harvest & Christmas lines at the various markets. Here’s a sneak peek of one of our new Christmas pieces that we’ll be introducing at the January shows.

Look for this item to arrive in stores next summer!

Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year!

Soccer Tournament Nail-biter!

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Like many parents, I spend a great deal of time on the weekends attending my kids’ sports events.

My younger son is an avid soccer player, and plays on different teams all year long.  His travel team started their season at the Gettysburg Battlefield Blast tournament.

Teams from all over the area, as well as the neighboring states, participate in the tournament and it has grown into quite a large event.  Unfortunately, this year’s tournament was scheduled for the same weekend that Hurricane Irene was moving up the East Coast.  Although Gettysburg is nowhere near the coast, the tournament was shortened by one day because of the threat of bad weather.

HOT Summer Shows!

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

Here we are in the middle of the 2011 summer show season and has it ever been HOT!

When I arrived in Atlanta and was instantly hit with the stifling heat and humidity, I could not help but think of the winter show.  In January, the city was hit with an unbelievable ice storm (right before the show) that pretty much shut down everything.  The weather certainly went from one extreme to the other!

There has been no escaping the heat this summer; after leaving Atlanta I headed to the Philadelphia show.  There were record breaking temperatures during the set up days which always makes unloading the truck a treat !  I am attending one more show this summer – in Las Vegas!  It’s never hot in the desert in August, right???

Speaking of Las Vegas…check out our new collection of gambling bugs (coming in 2012)!

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!

About ten years ago, my family started a new tradition by taking a vacation over the holiday weekend.  We usually rent a house somewhere on the beach with my parents, brother and sister.

This year, we are traveling to Fenwick Island, Delaware, which is about two hours from our home in Pennsylvania.
