New Booth Ideas

After walking the Philly Museum Show we came home with a pretty solid idea of the direction we're heading in. The good news: for the most part it boils down to a new paint job and some fun decorating. No major redesign. Bad news: Philly is one tough show to get into !! We talked to quite a few of the artists at the show, not just in clay either, and not many of them were selling too fast.

this is sort of a rough sketch in Photoshop of what we imagine our booth to look like once the shelves are painted a dark coffee bronze and the walls are draped in black drapery.


We had a great time wandering around Philly last night and this morning. Far more welcoming than say, NYC. Hopefully Boston will be similar. Haven't spent any time in Boston since 1993.

We had the most amazing dinner at this tiny restaurant called Lolita.
Nancy had a wicked salmon dinner that was to die for. My steak was anything but the usual fare. Mexican, Cuban, even some Indian influence. My dinner was served on fried yucca with a crispy plantain on top. The sauce was made from a combination of cream and smoky red peppers and probably some sundried tomatoes too. VERY savory. Our big surprise of the night was the green salsa which had some wonderful reference to Indian cuisine. LOADED with mint, and lime flavor, it was AWESOME! Desserts were a dense coconut cake with a chocolate pot de creme and for me, a pecan and chocolate bread pudding. All in all, WICKED!
