my first tradeshow

Here are some photos from the UnZipped Show. Technically not my first show but definitely my first time repping my own line. And you know what? I absolutely LOVED it. I was swamped with customers from 10am to close. Everyone in booths around me was so nice, not at all what I'd heard these shows were like. I made lots of new friends with the other designers from around the country. The vendors, buyers, press, shoppers-all really great people. Thanks to everyone for making me feel so at home in this new experience. I'm psyched for the November Unzipped and the next Thread shows.
