Where did all this mess come from? I am not a slob, I am even obsessed [...]

Hi! A couple weeks ago I visited the Oasis Gift Show in Phoenix hoping to find out if this was going to be a place where I’d like to exhibit in the future.
In the US, there are only two trade shows dedicated to handmade products: BMAC (twice a year in Philadelphia and Baltimore) and ACRE [...]
