DH and I were discussing this topic the other day - he actually likes to go to the shows as much as I do. We had taken a break from shows because at one point, they all seemed the same. I mean - how many GFGs can you look at before you get bored? But now I got the bug. I want to be inspired by the colors, the patterns, yes - the vendors, and we are mapping the shows into the calender. My budget is limited and I will not buy much but I want to enjoy the venues nonetheless.
