Earlier this week I caught Bootsy vigorously digging in my Bella Rustina show tote. When I picked her up her claws were clinging to a gift bag and I remembered what she was excited about - One of my exhibitors gave me a bag of catnip toys for Dora and Bootsy. They...
Thank you to each customer and exhibitor who made Bella Rustina happen. Our attendance wasn't great and I was worried exhibitors didn't do well, but I've had a large number of exhibitors make a point to tell me they had a good show and I'm so thankful! The backdrop of...
It's Bella Rustina week! Today we began setting up inside the Conway Expo Center and everything is looking so good! Lots more stuff will move in tomorrow and we'll open on Friday. I'll post around 80 preview photos Thursday night if you want to see what all we...
