Jingle Bash Success and Fall Rollout 2010

The Popular Item
The Jingle Bash turned out to be the best show yet. I was excited to see many of my friends came out to support us and to help as well. Johnathan Sanders who I mentioned in my previous post helped me run my booth for a good five hours of the show! Thank You Johnathan!

So I used this opportunity to introduce many new items that I haven't even posted to the website yet or made available to purchase on line either! I'll remedy that by the weekend but in the meantime I'll release them here.

In the upper left it the Tria Lamp. It was hugely popular in terms of grabbing attention. I am very proud of it and have a few orders in already. Not that I am not proud of everything that is.

The La Marais Series is a candle and base product that features candles By Johnathan Sanders. There is a complete line of fragrances but I only sold Holiday scent at this event. I will post the complete line on my website.

DaVinci's Flying Machine kinda speaks for itself. It's an artists interpretation of the sketches and will probably crash just as easy if you launch it. Great decor item. There is so much more and so little time so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves (at least here on the blog). Full descriptions will accompany the website postings.

Jingle Bash Crunch Time!

King and Bishop
With Jingle Bash looming this weekend production has been in full swing. Although exciting, getting ready for a show is one of the more challenging things I face. Inventory is not a word that is friendly when you are bench making every single item.

Victorian Ornaments
These past few weeks have been full full throttle. I should really check the back of some of these lacquer cans and pay attention to the ventilation requirements. :) I am excited about many of the new products we will be introducing. I have a line of Victorian Ornaments that are special for this show. They have a variety of different colors and later (meaning next year) I plan to experiment with paints and other additional decoration of the ornament. I want to wait and see how they do first. Misty has been putting together some really impressive vintage paper ornaments too. I am excited about those. There is also a new companion to Oberon's Gateway that will remain a surprise until after the show. Two new furniture pieces, new vintage paper items, DaVinci's Flying Machine, new lighting, it's crazy!
Candle Base for By Johnanthan Sanders
I'm also excited to be working on custom candle bases for the By Johnathan Sanders line of scented candles. There will be several styles to choose from and as always they are all customizable to your tastes. http://www.byjohnathansanders.com/

I gotta get back in the shop and finish all this up. I'll be uploading all the new stuff to http://www.ferrochie.com/ as soon as the show is over on November 20th.
