designed: Holiday Fairs in NYC

oh man, y'all where have I been?!?! I've been stamping, of course, and I've been using my visual merchandising skillz (tee hee) at the Holiday Fair in Grand Central Station. Yeah, that's right. Grand Central. What a cool freaking place to work. You can check out a cool article about it in Time Out New York (psst- there is a picture of the shop I decorated in the actual magazine article!) I've been decorating up a storm, pictures of the Christmas extravaganza are on the way, soon.
And until next week when I have time to start eating and sleeping again, the blog will be a little, oh how should I say... neglected. :( All I am doing is getting ready for the 3rd Ward Holiday Craft Fair which is on Saturday. Here is a little info about the Fair for all my NYC peeps that are interested from the folks at 3rd Ward.

Make an event out of holiday shopping this year at:
