Second day at Atelier trade show in NYC















Today, the second day at Atelier, 5 other trade shows started, and we had only a few buyers in the morning, and a slower afternoon time. However, we suddenly had a very busy evening with buyers who came from other shows until the closing time.


This is myself with one of our clients, Kara Mia from Oklahoma.

She is a very intelligent and cheerful Korean-American lady, and studied textile art in twenties, and showed me some of her works on iPhone. Believe or not, they are made of silk woven with lemons, tomatoes, sardines. You will not get the idea, but they looks cool anyway.

She asked me if I am on Facebook, so I replied with "Yes, Just started"

Then, she suggested "Let's take a picture together!"

I found out that she and I have only a year difference, and she is now crazy about horseback riding and boats, and has 2 horses. I hope one day we can visit her in Oklahoma.

Actually, we are supposed to have a dinner together, but I felt so tired with a jet lag and such a busy schedule, I needed to excuse myself and asked our female staff to join her for a dinner.

I feel so sorry, but next time for sure, Kara Mia-san!
