We recently returned from this year’s Winter TNNA Trade Show, and it was a blast! I was so excited to have Erin, my marketing manager, and David, my manufacturer, at the show with me. Since our booth was busy it was great to have their help.

Our duo interchangeable needle cases and clear front zipper pouches were the most popular items, and sold out within the first 30 minutes of the Sample-It event! The gadget trays were also a crowd favorite for its unexpected functionality and variety of sizes and colors. It was great to meet new store owners and to reconnect with familiar faces.

Chic-a recently collaborated with the Artist’s Collection to create a new needlepoint bag, which was featured at TNNA and received many positive reviews. It is pretty similar to Chic-a’s Point Bag, but has an added clear front pocket to display a finished needlepoint project. This bag was well received.

It was a great way to start off the New Year. I am looking forward to this year and all the fun new things that we are planning. Can’t wait to see you all at TNNA in Washington DC in June.
