{recap} : mistletoe & magic...long overdue

When I was home for Christmas I was able to get all of my M&M pictures since the CD I had copied in November was messed up and holding my pictures hostage!...so finally...I have my M&M week to share! Therefore, this will be a very long post...just warning!
...................

What a fun, overwhelming, lots of standing, good eating, fun selling, new faces meeting, old friends hugging, talkety talk great week! By all accounts the week was a hit!!

{ set-up }

mom, my mil, and ms. rebecca getting the booth ready for show! I am so thankful for the help from all of them and I think we had fun "hard at work" too!!I made my price tags...big, easy to see, full of quirky yet pertinent info, and surround by crepe paper ruffles of course!

mom made this t&t banner for my part of the booth...such a sweet surprise!!!!

new uses for an old time favorite!!!

yes...most certainly we had fun!

baby jack...one happy little customer so excited about his new baby legs!


{ dear friends }
It was such a wonderful and an unexpected joy to see, run into, hug, and catch up with so many wonderful friends and meet some of you too! Thank you for coming by to say hi!

finally got to meet dainty miss zoe... her momma and I go back to our school days and I was so excited to sneak in some time with the little miss during a long day of set-up!

ms. su introduced my sickly self to emergen-c this week! you are a life saver ma'am!! it was such a treat to see you and erica during "booth breaks"...as always!

I learned everything I know about dried and fresh flowers from steve!!! He was the floral designer at the flower shop I worked at during college...and my wedding planning days! He did all of the flowers for our wedding...love him and don't think I have seen him since that lovely day in june!

I was so excited to catch up with kelsey and jane! kelsey {my sister's oldest friend after me!} was in town all the way from lubbock so its not often at all that she and I touch down in tyler at the same time!!

our sweet little miss kensi kay! getting ready for her jingle dance no. ...she did great and most certainly remembered to smile!

and surely not the least... booth mates! a wonderful week spent with old friends and new!

As you can see it was a very busy and fun week! I was so thankful to have my mom...she housed, inventoried, and received shipments for all of my products prior to and was at my side all week...especially after I got sick on day 1 of the show, but I was grateful to make it through set-up! I am also full of thanks to Ms. Rebecca...for being a fantastic booth mate in addition to constant friend and for providing so many of the display pieces...I would have never been able to house, ship, and purchase everything myself! It was a huge help seeing as I'm not a local.

It was a wonderful way to ring in the Christmas season!!!

I loved your booth at Mistletoe and wish I would have had time to look! In case you are wondering I came and introduced myself to you on that Saturday after performing on that stage....and my name is Ashlee! If you don't remember I understand but I just wanted to say hello and that I still love looking at your blog. Plus I am in the process of finally creating my own! I hope your traveling is going well!
