Squashed Rainbows at Progressive Greetings Live 2011



Well where do we begin....well it actually began with a cup of tea and the most amazing pain au chocolat (as all the best days do!) in this delightfull little bakery on Upper Street: Euphorium Bakery After Battling through the rush hour from Twickenham to Highbury and Islington we were ready for a sit down before the day had even begun!

After the quick refresh it was onto the stand with big smiles ready to embrace the day (spot the baby bump!).

Both days went well, we met lots of lovely publishers, shared information, thoughts on the industry, drank complimentary tea and ate complimentary lunches. It was great to be out there meeting customers, taking orders, handing out brochures and just generally spreading the word.

We ended the first morning on a high after taking an order from 'The Gift Box Too' in Peebles - Winner of the Independant Retailers 2010 award. We are very excited to be supplying our cards into Scotland now.

Hugh thanks to Jimmi for coming along, carring ladders and tables, bringing me tea and biscuits and manning the stand x
