It’s HOT in New York !
Impressions now that I had two days at the show and having just been at the Philadelphia Rosen show is that the show exhibitors and their wares are becoming more and more contemporary in style. The tradition decor in crystal and silver is still there but diminished greatly. As I looked deeper into the show booths, more and more modern pieces from tableware to home decor to accessories. Sunday was a real hassle getting to the show, first there was construction on the Lincoln tunnel approach and the tunnel into the city was only two lanes. There was a race that had traffic tied up out of the tunnel, it took us an hour from the approach until we finally found a open parking garage.
Fewer exhibitors by far, many of our pottery people were not at the show. It’s been a very tough year for small producers of unique hand crafted goods. Many have had to close up. We’re losing a vendor per week. Let’s remember that if these craft people are not supported the choices we’ll have is shopping at Wal-mart or Target for cheap junk.
