Lightening Trip To Dallas...To Market to Market...

OK, I'm back!  This is going to be a picture intense post so sit back and grab your favorite beverage and relax a sec! 

I'm going to do another post/video on my FAVORITE store...The Crafty Scrapper next...

As I was saying earlier today we hit the showrooms at lightening speed yesterday and today.  It was one of those FLASH trips to grab lines we knew would sell out before Atlanta in July.  This is just a sampling of the thing we saw today.  Thought it might give us all some inspiration.....Hope you think so too....

I thought this display was so clever.  The line is Paddy Wax....I wish now that I had looked to see how they got every stinkin' picture to be faced forward! Oops except that one!  Hahaha!

Cool gas pump!  The larger piece was a storage unit!   Love the oil can watering cans!

Cool Signs...

This a button wall hanging.  Fairly large around 3 foot by 2 foot maybe.  Really like the colors and concept....

My best friend...Marsha with the beautiful model and multi talented Sabrina Barnett.  Mar is trying on one of Sabrina's skirts from the Sabrina Barnett Collection.  It was hysterical y'all!  Just sayin!  We got 'em for the store!

Me being GOOFY!  Starting to think Halloween...

My other best pal, Vicki and the one and only and best sales rep ever...Suzanne.  Trying on Angry Birds hats...What can I say???  Too much COFFEE?

Halloween Goodies...

I know not everybody digs Halloween but these guys were too hard to resist....

Me getting into the spirit....Come to think of it, I believe the girls look better in the Angry Birds Hats!

Close up of some HUGE scissors

The Display with the HUGE scissors, thread spools and clothes pins.

This line was right up my alley!  Love and had to get the bike!  You put notes on the spokes with clips.  Cool huh?

OK, now for a little Christmas....

Canvas Christmas Tree...

Cool stocking!  I loved all the embellishments on it....

I thought this was a cool idea...It's basically a large topiary form as the structure.  Think about a large tomato cage.  Next, they added a large wreath at the bottom and then used smaller ones going up.  This makes the coolest Christmas tree.  Or at least I think so.  Going to have to try this for Christmas!

Well, that's about it.  A samplng of inspiration...Hope you enjoyed!  Now for Part Two post...The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie and my haul!  LOL!

Thanks for Visiting!
