Pictures from the San Francisco International Gift Fair where My Pillow Collection was Featured...


So here are the pictures from the San Francisco International Gift Fair where my Pillow Collection was featured this past weekend in my good friend Barbie's booth. She was a vendor at the show and along with my Pillows, she featured her gorgeous selection of Vintage Furniture and Accessories.

My Cream Pillow Collection and a Memo Board that Barbie made with my Burlap Paris Flea Market Pillow Design.

This vignette is so charming! Barbie always has the prettiest Furniture and Accessories.

I love how these Vintage Garden Chairs came out.

Some of Barbie's lovely Decorative Accessories.

More pretty Decorative Accessories that she handmade. She is extremely talented!

What could be more classic than Audrey Hepburn?

I love how beautifully our items compliment each other... Everything looked so pretty!

My Cream Pillows placed on this beautiful Antique Cupboard.

More Vintage Garden Chairs with my French Fleur-de-Lis Pillow Design!

My Burlap Pillows on a gorgeous Vintage Garden Swing. I love how she uses my Pillow Designs to re-cover Vintage Chairs, Stools and Memo Boards. We really have developed a great friendship!!!

Barbie's booth looked so beautiful. Her product placement is always done to perfection!!!

I hope you enjoyed the pictures. We both did FANTASTIC at the show!!!

(Thank you to Donna, Barbie's Niece for taking these pictures)

  1. Your friend sets up one good-looking booth! It's all very pretty, and I'm so glad to hear that the two of you did well.

    I'm working on my setup right now. My next show is in October, and I'm wanting it to look worlds better than it did before. I was glancing through a photo pool on flickr featuring art/craft show setups, and it made me realize how much work I needed to do on mine. It was really inspiring actually. Some people just blow my mind! Here's a link to the pool if you want to see: http://www.flickr.com/groups/craft_fairs/pool/

  10. Bonjour Aimee!! I just finished coming from Crystal Rose Cottage and saw your picture and remember that we encountered each other once! How are you? You blog is simply beautiful...I love French as well, that is why I went to school for so many years to be a French teacher! The Fleur de Lys motif is all over my house, so greatly appreciate all of your pillows and décor. What a great business you have....if I lived anywhere close to SF I would visit you in a heartbeat. Come again for the opening night of my silly play!!! I love to tinker around with fantasy and theatre...I was once a dancer and an actress.

    A la prochaine donc!! Anita

  21. Love how Barbie decorates her booth. It looks wonderful and your pillows compliment everything so well. Do you sell pieces of fabric with your prints on them for someone to cover a chair on their own? I really like how those chairs look.

    Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you did well.

    Take care,
    Kathleen

  25. Hi Karen and Kathleen,
    Thank you for your question. I am only selling my Designs in that way for Barbie, who orders a large quantity from me on a regular basis. I'm sorry to say, that I do not offer them that way individually.

    Have a great day,
    Aimee

  31. Your design on the pillows and other pieces is lovely. I can see how you did well at the show. Your friend is very talented also and I love the display.
    Do you live in SanFrancisco? I was just there and wish I could have attended although I was home on the 31st. That was my first trip. We loved it there and travelling in California.

  46. I love your blog and your pillows. I am getting two girls off to college this week and incredibly busy (and sad). Next week, I cannot wait to sit and catch up on the blogs I read. I am glad I found yours. I can't wait to sit and look through it. My daughters could use your pillows in their dorm room and apartment, we all love this look.

  49. Oh Aimee...I am so sorry, honey! I mispelled a word and couldn't correct it so just decided to do it again..and then got sidetracked.
    I will try and recap what I wrote.

    I said that I thought the layout you did for your friends beautiful shops was wonderful, and that I should take a day trip up there with my girlfriend. Now I am chatting with you on an IM. :)
    You did a great job! VERY inspiring!
    Hugs!
