UNIQUE LA's 4th Annual Holiday Show 2011

Here is our UNIQUE LA Picture Wrap-Up! Thanks for everyone who came out and said "Hello"! 

Those of you who couldn't make it- here are the Highlights:

Set-up began Friday and Kevin brought up all of our items for our booth. We did one load in our new FIT and it was just big enough to get everything we needed display wise nicely. 

We lucked out and had an obstructive column just outside our booth that we could decorate on and make sure our booth was visible from the aisle way. :)

Kevin made some AH-MAZING record accessory stands for UNIQUE! Here are some of my favorites:

 There were Craft Demos featured by the Craft and Folk Art Museum- Making Upcycled Gift Bows.

If you happened to miss the demo- Here is our tutorial to make upcycled bows this holiday...

Here bellow, are some of our Friends who are based out of LA. I got this picture with Ryan of Magic Industrie, but missed a picture of his booth :( The rest have pictures of their booths/ contact info:

 Enchanted Leaves and Maiden Voyage Clothing was Hoppin'!

I hope you enjoyed the show! 
XOXO, KC and Kevin

Unique LA Highlights and Pictures

We had such a fantastic time at Unique LA this past weekend! Thanks to everyone who came out and visited our booth!!! We had a terrific turnout and found a ton of great items to buy too.

Above: Pictures from our booth.  Check out items you may have missed in our Etsy store here.

Bellow: Great finds from DUST and Co., Sabo, Monstertrocity, Careful, It Bites and UNIQUE LA Pencils I got from checking in on Foursquare.

On Left: I scored this amazing "C" from a Monte Carlo made by my friend Jill of DUST and Co. the glasses pin is by sabo. Right: Kevin picked out this amazing monster from Monster Kat of Monstertrocity, and I am so glad to have 'Robert Sargent' as a new addition to our family.  Kat also makes the amazing unicorn finger puppet in the above picture- LOVEs it!

Kevin ran the show most of Saturday so I could scope out the show and he had the pleasure to chat with Travis from Blogging LA.  He did a great post on the show that includes our Record Accessory Stands, plus more details and pictures of Jill and Kat's goods. Check it out here.

We had a wonderful customer talk to me about the magazine subscription cards and I thought I would pass along some weird trivia.  When I go to stores to collect the cards that clutter the store and fall to the floor are "Blow-Ins" or Blow-in cards.  The difference between the blow-in and the bind-in cards is that they are loosely tucked into a magazine so that it will fall out and attract attention.  They want those things to fall out?!?!!! Crazy! For other interesting magazine facts The Association of Magazine has an interesting page with more details.

This show we attracted some attention with our take on the blow-in subscription cards.  Check out this great post from The Matcha Box on how we charmed a sale out of her with our Metro Card Address Books!  Thanks for your support Alissa :)

I ran into our friend Klara who along with Tyson, her soon to be husband, had an amazing booth as usual! They have an amazing apparel and accessory line that has amazing pillows too (as seen left) Maiden Voyage.  There is a great post that they are featured in here by LA Weekly!!! Great job guys!  Klara told me when we got to speak her and Tyson are getting married this summer in Poland- how amazing! I can't wait to see pictures.  If it is anything like how they design Maiden Voyage it is definitely going to be a wedding to remember :)
