despite the super bowl, the nor'easter, the ice storm...

Despite hiked up flight and hotel rates and jammed traffic for the Super Bowl on Saturday/Sunday, the Nor'easter that hit on Monday, the ice storm that hit on Wednesday, the NY NOW Show was really fun. This is because a lot of my current retailers came to visit, and a lot of new stores came to add gleena to their collections. And because I was surrounded by kind, talented, and inspiring artists up and down the isles. I am grateful, though exhausted.

gleena booth 9145, small but functional. the noodle bowls were a hit, and even got made into knitting bowls upon a customer’s suggestion:

knitting needles and yarn from loopy mango, also an exhibitor at the show.
