the Wry Baby Blog

Wry Baby is in full show mode as we prepare to take off to NY for the hugemungous New York International Gift Fair. I mentioned before the kind of craziness we go through before the show, such as building a scale model of what the booth will look like and how we theme the booth to what we happen to be launching. Well, the cat’s out of the bag that we’re bringing a line of Organic baby clothes and organic gifts to the mix this year and here’s what we’re planning to showcase that newness.

Above is our booth model for this Summer! Front and center will be a display case made of fruit crates that holds our new line of organic baby clothes and organic baby gift sets. The case will sit on a platform covered with grass and we plan on stringing the organic clothes up on a line above the display. I’m supposed to paint some signage to sprinkle around to give it that authentic “organic market” feel, but right now I have no idea what I’ll do about that! Last minute panic, anyone?

The wall coverings are vinyl banners that we make whenever there’s something new and banner worthy. We re-use them for other shows and if we have to cycle something out to make room for new ones, we send them on a tour of our fun stores so they can use them!

So real, it’s like you’re there! See how happy the foam core people are? You have to watch out for foam core people at the actual show. They are not only very grumpy people, but they are also crazy flammable!
