Of course, one of my very favorite booths at the trade show is by October Afternoon. I love each of their new collections... I can't decide which one I like best!
Here's the fronts and backs and some coordinating product for the lines:
I think the first collection "Woodland Park" is my favorite but I like them all!
I can't wait to use the new Trousseau collection from 7gypsies in a class. It is just gorgeous! I wish I had taken more pictures! I spent so much time looking and chatting that I even forgot to get a catalog... I'll have to have them mail me one.
This inspiration board is straight out of Paula's home office! Isn't it fabulous?
I was pleasantly surprised to see the new travel papers from Remininsce. I'll be able to use these soon!
I LOVED the new Smash book from K&Co... it is huge! I don't have the measurements but it is something like 12"x 18" or bigger. I think it's such a fun size! I wouldn't be able to use it for a class, I don't think, but it sure is cool! It reminds me of the scrapbook I kept in high school.
Elizabeth Kartchner's new line with American Crafts is just darling. I'm looking forward to teaching with her in France soon! And it was great to see Ali Edwards and catch up on our families! (not sure what's up with my FLAT hair!! Time to fluff!!) :)
There was lots more that I liked... especially My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline collection and Follow Your Heart collection. It was hard to get photos that did it justice in the booth but I got samples and will show pictures of it when I get home.
Any requests for classes? What have you seen that you like?

I think a class from the Woodland Park collection would be great. I also like the 7Gypsies collection. Paula's inspiration board is great. I need to start working on one for me. The travel papers are great too. Thank you for all the pictures. Can't wait to see it in the stores.

Not fond of the October Afternoon this year! I do like the 7Gypsies collection, though. Did you see Bo Bunny's Serenity and Weekend Market collections? My other favorites are French Kiss (Glitz Design), London Market (Pink P), Almanac (Prima), and Attic Treasures vol 3 (Melissa Frances). How cute are those little hangers from Melissa Frances?!!! Lots of vintage goodness this year!

I agree - I am surprised to see the travel line from Reminisce too. Hope you use it in a class. I love travel projects.
Thanks for asking!
