I had my first wholesale show last week with Bobby at the Dallas Market Center. It was a huge success and a ton of fun. It was kind of a mini reunion of all the dealers that set up at Zapp Hall in Warrenton. Always great to see everyone and what new things they have made or found. This was our booth with the jewelry in front.
I did something a little different with the jewelry this time. We packaged it on chipboard and sold it in bins, so that it makes it easier to flip through them. The best idea, it made it so easy for everyone to shop from. I started out with 7 bins and at the end of the show only had 1 full one left! Plus what other pieces sold on the mannequins.
Bobby's ornament crosses were a huge hit as well, I love to embellish them with metal roses and chandelier crystals.
My new fabric cuffs were sold out in 2 hours! Off to make more! I love mixing fabric with the metal, texture is everything!
etched copper heart on tin ceiling tile cross, one of my favs
these are a couple of the pieces that my son Anthony made, we put these out at the show and he sold some and got orders! He was on cloud nine!
My gypsy partner in crime, Heidi of Paris Montana. She had an amazing show, lots of sales and orders for her new line clothing. (PS. don't feed her Red Vines...I won't be held responsible for what happens next!) lol
This cute little airstream was selling cupcakes. Had kind of a hippie vibe to it. And their cupcakes were a-mazing! Trailercakes..
They also have a Vintage section with lots of eye candy. Gorgeous displays everywhere. Loved the salvage veranda in this booth. I think it's Marie's, but not sure, you let me know.
This was a little part of Rodeo Royalty Roadshow's setup. LOVE the old truck, it was opened in the back with a vintage vignette in the back. Can't wait to see what they do next in March at Zapp Hall.
The best part of the show was that my son Anthony got to come with me. He did an awesome job and had a blast. So much more to come! Thank you to everyone who stopped by, much appreciated!
Blissfully Yours, Tricia
He's got to be your brother! You are way too young to be a parent to a grown up guy like him! :)

Hey Tricia, looking forward to seeing down at Zapp in a few short weeks. That veranda belonged to Mel and Brian of the Seed Box. I think I saw it posted on Facebook. See you soon, T
