The Excitement of Kids Instyle

So all the anxiety and organisation is over..we are back from the Kids Instyle trade show and have finally recovered from the "jet lag" that kept us in zombie mode for most of yesterday. The trip down took hours more than expected as we learnt that Tom Tom loses contact with the navigation gods when he is taken into a tunnel !! When we arrived I was so nervous I was shaking..There were so many stands with labels that I have come to love and admire over the past year..There were stands with so many items in that if you entered you may never come out, lost in a world of childhood fantasy, wooden toys and those uber cool sock monkeys and the like...(i am now in love with sock monkeys !) But after setting up our stand I realised there was a real mix of labels , small to large and everyone was very friendly and not as scary as I had imagined. Much to my surprise I hadn't forgotten the most important things and even more surprising I hadn't forgotten anything !! Oh hold on..I did forget a broom and the nails but we manged to convince people to lend those. We managed to secure ourselves not only extra stockists but also agents for NZ so we are quite happy with the results over all..We were photographed for World Trend Forecaster which, although I haven't jumped on there site as yet, I am lead to believe is quite a big deal and Mandy who took the pics and also works for Babyology was really lovely. Anyhoo here are some pics and I will tell you more about my favourite labels from the show in the next update x x
