It Certainly Wasn't New York...

Still jazzed up from going to the Flower Show last week, we decided to hit the Boston Gift Show this past weekend. To quote the Queen, "We are not impressed." Actually I think the quote was "We are not amused". Well, I was neither impressed nor amused. They keep promising bigger and better - more vendors, new products...but all we get are the same type of products. It doesn't even come close to New York's Gift Show. My favorite vendors are long gone...where are my pillows? My accessories?? My LEMON BARK??? I would sell a family member for lemon bark!! There were a couple of bright spots - companies whose products and practices are worth noting. rightside design's "I Sea Life" Collection had some adorable home accessories inspired by the sea. www.MySeaLifestyle.com. They are extremely "green" in their packaging, inks and production and a part of their proceeds are donated to organizations that help marine mammals and sea life. A worthy cause!
