It was a fairly large investment for me, but I felt it was necessary to do to get myself back into the market here after being gone for almost three years in Cleveland! I'm happy to be "home", however, I had a great thing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">goin</span>' in Cleveland... a lot of word of mouth business from happy brides. I'm hoping to get back into the game here and this show was a great way to start.</span><br /><br /><div><div><div><span style="font-size:85%;">I took a very creative approach to my booth...rather than the regular old vinyl sign and boring white tablecloth...I wanted my space to reflect my design aesthetic : modern. simple. unique. I took these pics with my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">iphone</span> so the quality isn't the greatest......</span></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394772692996374610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EwBqowBh9nc/St4VLnoGwFI/AAAAAAAAABw/ICUyOm5Jqpo/s320/oakbrookshow_3.JPG" border="0" /></span></div><div><span style="font-size:85%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394772451744437730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EwBqowBh9nc/St4U9k5KVeI/AAAAAAAAABg/ILYq3gwZ6v8/s320/oakbrookshow_1.JPG" border="0" /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;">Everything was handmade, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">repurposed</span> or reused from items I had in my own home. I really liked how it turned out and I've already set five appointments with some adorable brides-to-be! I can't wait to get things started again.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4009532399925971259-507770008707382497?l=lepapierdesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>stacy amoo-mensahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17769807285137636772noreply@blogger.com1
