Members Knipper Posted May 21, 2012 Members Report Posted May 21, 2012 The Sheridan Show is over for another year, and this year's was outstanding! I got to meet a lot of new people and put some some faces with customer's names. I always like that "personal connection" with people...it makes it so much more fun to do business. Picked up some great supply products and a few leather tools to make my sheaths look a bit more finished. And!.....took home a brand new Cobra Class 4 sewing machine that Steve had there for me to pick up. Can't wait to set that up and start using it. Had to break it down a bit so it would fit in the little Hyundai, but all went well. Sales at the show were outstanding, and I think I set a personal record this year. The one thing I noticed about customers in the leather trade is that everyone is so friendly and helpful. Several questions I had were resolved there, and as usual, I learned more about leather and what customers needed and were looking for to make their job easier. Nothing like hearing that information directly from a customer so you can get and give instant feedback face-to-face. I saw some beautiful work in various competition categories and was amazed at the incredible detail and workmanship, no matter what the item was, be it a wallet or a saddle. Looking forward to the next show already! Terry Knipschield Quote

stelmackr Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Great pictures! Where did you find that great collection of old Landis #3, if it was at the King Museum I missed them. It was in a building next to the King Museum that had two floors. Let me give a landmark that most people could relate to that attended the King's evening party--the building was behind the people serving beer outside. ;-) Bob Stelmack www.pslac.org Quote Bob Stelmack Desert Leathercraft LLC Former Editor of the, RawHide Gazette, for the Puget Sound Leather Artisans Co-Op, 25 years of doing it was enough...
HARVEY Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Something a little different at the show . . . I don't know how I managed to overlook posting this; must be gettin' old, gettin' old . . . The vendor Bee Natural was there, as always. With their full line of products. I have used a couple of their products and always been more than satisfied. But this show they had a new product in their line-up. And NOT in their catalogue. A small round jar filled with a clear jell that when you invert the jar didn't budge a bit. With a cute little baby elephant sticker on the top of the jar. One of those "Awwww . . . " moments. Although I didn't get it, the three people I was hanging around with (names will be withheld to protect the guilty) bought it. The good folks at Bee Natural told us it was a healing skin moisturizer. With a name that you'd just wanna bring home to the family, for men or women, boys or girls, granny and grandpa. Their latest . . . (scroll down. And this is not a joke) . . . ELEPHANT SNOT moisturizer. Quote
Members DoubleC Posted May 23, 2012 Members Report Posted May 23, 2012 Oh I am cracking up. I think it must have been a wonderful time. And loved all the pictures, thank you. Cheryl Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted May 23, 2012 Members Report Posted May 23, 2012 Bob, great job of recording the event on film! There is something there for every one. It gives those of us that couldn't make it, a chance to see what we missed and more importantly, some incentive to try to make it next year. Great Job, thanks for posting. Bob Quote
