We've come a long way baby!
I have posted some pics of my first booth. Note the bedsheet tablecloths and random hanging plushies. Also, please note that this pic was taken before the show started, and this is ALL of my stock, ha! Now I show up with crates upon crates upon crates and still feel unprepared.
These photos make me kind of nostalgic for the days of creating completely unique and one of a kind plush... not that I don't LOVE making the hats, but there was something special about each piece having it's own personality.
I will post a pic of my swanky new booth after the show this weekend, so look forward to that!

Bacon-wrapped Pork tenderoin
Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin with garlic & Parmesan green beans:
Ingredients
- 1 head garlic, top sliced off
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1 1/2 pound each) trimmed of excess fat
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 12 fresh sage leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 12 1/4-inch thick slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place garlic in a small ramekin, drizzle with 1-tablespoon olive oil, and wrap in foil. Bake until soft, about 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, squeeze garlic flesh from head into a small bowl.
Arrange tenderloins on work surface. Rub the top each tenderloin with 1/2 of the roasted garlic and season with salt and pepper. Mix together the herbs and scatter half of the mix over the garlic on each tenderloin. Wrap 6 strips of bacon around each tenderloin and tie bacon in place with kitchen twine.
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat oil in a medium, skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloins until golden brown on all sides. Transfer seared tenderloins to medium roasting pan; place in the oven and cook to medium doneness about 8 to10 minutes. Transfer tenderloins to cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Remove twine before carving.

MOBILES!
It has been a lot of fun figuring out well designed solutions for my mobiles, and I am nearly ready to start producing. I can't show pics yet, but here is some inspiration, and a teaser of the artwork for the hanging pieces:
The hanging mechanism for my mobiles will be die-cut 1/8" thick industrial felt
This is one set of hanging pieces, which may change slightly. There will be 2 other sets, possibly space and flower themed, but maybe not!
OK, back to work!
