Last weekend's American Craft Show at St. Paul Rivercentre was a terrific experience! I met so many new people and got to have yet another terrific American Craft Council experience, showcasing my new line at their craft show. My booth looked mostly the same as in Baltimore, but I did add some new photo banners from the recent photoshoot with Jennifer Simonson. Don't they look great!?   (Here you can see me posing in front of one of the photos so that it looks like Katy's hand is patting me on the head. :) And have a look here at...

The retail section is what I’d like...
