The best thing about going to the New York International Gift Fair is getting to see first hand how people react to what you’re putting out there. Since our stores do well with Wry Baby and have fun with it, it’s pretty easy to have a great time talking to whoever walks onto our bright red carpet (I totally blew a chance to take some pics of one of our favorite web stores, wishingfish.com). The worst part of the show is trying to survive the show itself! It’s fun, but pretty exhausting. And not just because you’re dealing with the crowds, but often your fellow vendor neighbors. Some are fun (like our awesome Channel Craft friends) and some are just, well, a nuisance. Check out this neighbor who seemed to like our booth better than his today!

Hmmm. This looks interesting.
Plenty to read in the Wry Baby booth!
After the show we took off to the South Street Seaport to take a water taxi to the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. So fun! It was just and hour and pretty non-cheesy. From there, a quick subway ride to see Mary Poppins on Broadway! Kelly scored us seats second row center and it was amazing. Can’t recommend it enough. I know, Disney on Broadway, but really, it was fantastic.
There was a great public art piece in progress involving waterfalls and the Brooklyn Bridge. We were all saddened to learn that our tour would not be pulling up directly underneath them.
