Early—and I mean early—Monday morning I left Portland, Maine with two of my dearest girlfriends—and business associates—Jen Connor and Denise Demarco. By the time we’d normally be walking into my new retail store to start the workday, we were all in a Manhattan cab on our way to the New York International Gift Fair.
Jen and Denise have extraordinary senses of style … and senses of humor. I need extra helpings of both to do this right, and I’m so glad they’re here. Today is our second day of attending seminars, hunting through a dizzying array of booths, displays and venues, and soaking up the creative energy that just hums in the air.
We’re looking for the very best things to bring back to 215 Commercial Street, my clients and my customers. We’re also exploring a city we all love, a city that never stops surprising and inspiring us. We’re having a lot of fun. I can’t wait to unpack my bags in this space and show you all what I’ve brought home!
You can receive my updates from the Fair in real time by following the Nicola’s Homes Twitter feed.
