CHA summer show was great!
it couldn't have gone any better. we were kinda in the back corner for the show so it was hard to find us, but if we had more people at the booth nobody would have been able to move! it was just me & my mom working the booth! (thanks tara for sending me this picture) i think for memory trends we will have more people working the booth. i met so many great people at the show! I'm kinda missing my friends already
..and in more exciting new, we will be featured in a upcoming issue for a very popular magazine as one of the top 9 hot products of cha!!!! this is so awesome!!
i was kinda sad to take down the whole set up when the show was over. i loved our little booth.
well i gotta make this update quick, but i also don't know when i'll get internet again....i'm at my
..gotta love staying at gram's, much better than any 4 star hotel
and next on my agenda...we drive from chicago to minnesota for a huge family reunion!! it's at my great grandparents house, which we rent out to tenants during the year. all of my grandmas brother & sisters families all drive, or fly, take a train in...for this get together.... in a really little city - anyone heard of lynd, minnesota-it's kinda close to marshall. my grandma is 95, and some of her sisters who are older & younger will also be there- just amazing. usually there's maybe 40 of us, we stay in the house, with just one bathroom, sleep in the attic, sleeping porch, sun room...we eat, drink, shop, laugh, watch slide shows, play softball, laugh some more, shop some more, golf, swim...you get the idea ...it's so much fun i can hardly wait. just a 12 hour drive ahead of us tomorrow to get there.
From what I hear, you and your mom did an excellent job. The booth looked great and you should be so proud of yourself. Hambly is rocking!!!

I miss my grandma's sheets!!!
I am SO SO SO SO SO stoked for you and the success you had at CHA. It is beyond time for you to get the recognition you deserve.
Now hurry up and come back to New York b/c Jonathan is sick of me whining about you.

Hi there!
Don't know whether you'll remember us, but Glenda and I popped by the booth and placed an order at the show. Anyway, we're back in England now and trying to recover from the jet lag. (What time is it? Where am I? Er...)
We still haven't had a chance to phone Rose for a chat about shipping and stuff yet (the last couple of days have just been so hectic, what with flying back and all), but we'll be in touch.
Glad you had a good time at the show. Your booth looked great - certainly worked on us!
Best wishes,
Adrian.
