Boston Gift Show

Why is it nice and sunny during the week, and pouring buckets of rain come weekend??? For the 5th weekend in a row we get rain and overall, absolutely nasty (unpleasant) weather. On Sunday we had to reschedule an engagement shoot again, but on a flip side it gave us a chance to attend annual Boston Gift Show.
We went through registration, got our badges, but little did we know- kids under 14 were not allowed on the showroom floor! Tony always jokes that he is a"very likable guy", so it's either because of that or simply due to my charming looks and personality (haha) - one of the nicest ladies at the entrance agreed to let us in, under one condition - we had to carry DiDi the whole time and not let her run around like she usually does. Well, we had no choice but to comply.
Let me tell you, it was a grand show, I felt like I was in heaven - they had everything that I love (and I love a lot of things :)) Our mission was to find some cool vendors to implement some of our awesome ideas for our business and for our precious clients, and we did. Mission accomplished! Moreover, since DiDi was the only little child there, she got so much attention, and therefore, presents...yes...people gave her toys, gift boxes for her dolls, etc. So, after over 3 hours of wandering around the showroom floor while carrying our girl in our arms, I realized that we are a couple of really tough cookies:) I'm so glad I lift weights several times a week - it helps!!! :)

Here is a little visual story of the day:
