Show and Tell

Now with our two shows over and finally having gotten things back into order I wanted to share with you some of the things that went on as well as show some pictures of the two shows.

We certainly had a great time and learned quite a great deal form each show both before and during. We were very happy to have many friends stop by and say hi, as well have available all our great toys for people to touch and play with, the children who came by had a fun time. We also received great feedback from many of our customers and had the time to meet the other great vendors at each of the shows.

Take a look at a couple of pictures of the BabyThoughts.ca booth from each show:

At the Mom2Mom Green Holiday Show

The Children's Trunk Show

One of the most popular vendors at the Children's Trunk Show and my next door neighbour was January Baby. The founder and creator Anne whose great product 'Smittens' or the 'no escape mittens' was a certainly a big hit . Her warm and very functional outerwear accessories are available for children 6 months and up and can be found at Macklem's.

Another new friend and vendor at both the Mom2Mom show and The Children's Trunk Show was founder Flora Cheung of FlowerPot Designs whose hand-made hair accessories for little girls as well as her one-of-a-kind knitted toys and kids wear were simply stunning and so unique.

I also had the opportunity to meet Sara Bingham from Wee Hands and Canadian Babies as well as the lovely Kim Silk, founder of Davisville Moms.

All in all a great experience and one I am looking forward to next year.
