CHA always opens the first day of the show with a parade…bagpipers walk up and down the aisles with all the CHA officers and board members in tow.

Our Stay-n-Play with Daniela Costa

How cute is that!?!

Painting the shadow boxes
So much to see, so much to do! Day #1 is all about showing off.
Traffic in our booth was quite brisk and people really enjoyed designer Daniela Costa’s project with our Mini Shadowboxes. Shop owners painted and glued and blinged their way to an adorable keepsake that can be shared in classes with their customers.
Daniela even recycled our board book packaging and used it to create the little easel backer that the queen inside leans against. Yay for being green!
Here are some close-ups of just a few of the fun products we showed – you just gotta have ‘em!
