Back From The Gift Market

Well, here I am...the first day back at Sweet Tooth from the Dallas Gift Market.
I've got a few observations for you.

First, how many times do you think we ran into our friend Des from Perfect Touch?  More than I could count and that was fun.

Second, our Facebook photo of me and our friend, Barry Horn from Hobbs and Dobbs in California has garnered over 650 looks.  Barry is totally impressed with that number.  He is one of our favorite distributors because Barry is out in the world, looking for the latest and the greatest candy and novelty items.  And what is even better is that Barry is honest with us....if it won't sell, he tells us.  Barry is always right.  Watch for the cool candy items coming to us from Hobbs and Dobbs.

Third, after 3 times of going to the Kurt Adler showroom and placing 3 orders for great Christmas and Halloween goodies, wonderful and fun Christmas trees, and the really fun flickering glasses for Christmas (check out the Facebook picture of me and our sales rep Dave!!), I have to report that we are still not done with orders from that company.

Fourth, our true blue Trudy sales rep, who has been with us, well, it seems forever, has a new jewelry line which I think you will simply love.  At the moment, Trudy has brought Forever in My Heart jewelry into the store...you know, the line of lockets and tiny beautiful charms.  So watch for April when the next edition of Trudy's guaranteed winners arrives at Sweet Tooth.

Five, our new guy, Billy, worked with us for about 2 hours or more to show us some of the new collections from Demdaco....scarves which have been a big hit, Art Hearts just perfect for any gift giving occasion and of course, Halloween and Christmas fused glass plates, Pop In plates, ornaments....on and on.  Even though
Billy was recovering from the flu, which he got from sitting behind a woman on the plane who was coughing the entire time, Billy was with us 100%.

I'll stop here...how much of WONDERFUL can you take in one sitting?  Next time, more sneak peaks.
