Author: Question by Victor R: Home and garden shows in California?
Hey
I have very nice home decor products(pottery,vases,fountains etc.) importing directly from Thailand.Basically my friend owns a little factory.
I’d like to know more about home and garden shows in California(or Nevada),just to have a better opportunity to spread my products across the country.Everything’s very beautiful and unique(handmade).
I’d really appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.

I don’t know about California or Nevada, but here in Washington, you have to buy a space at a H&G show. Depending on the size of the show, this cost can get fairly expensive. You want to go to one that is sizable enough to get good exposure, but not so large as to bankrupt you before you even get started. Also, H&G shows tend to run about 6 months off, meaning they have things in the fall for the peak season in the spring and summer. You could try gift shows too. If it is a retail show (open to the public) make sure to give yourself a couple of months head start. The shows probably have a cut off date for new vendors, sometimes up to 6 months. The Christmas season will be here very soon, so if you were planning on doing a Holiday show, you may already be too late, but check anyway. If you are, try for spring shows. Once you get into one, make sure you have plenty of business cards or brochures to hand out. A website would be beneficial to both you and the customer. You could show more product in different settings and they have the chance to think about it and have another look. Good luck!

Mystery home and garden decor…..what are these?
Question by jessica l: Mystery home and garden decor…..what are these?
I posted a link to the picture on the bottom. I got these stands for free and love them but I am not sure what they are. The previous owner said she used them as a bird bath until she noticed the finish inside the bowl peeling so I guess they aren’t water safe. They are about 18 inches tall. Anybody know what they are supposed to be used as or have any suggestions to what I should use them for?
