BonBoards in the Community

I recently had a vendor table at a local event where I was able to highlight my work and meet some people from the community. Since it was my first experience participating in a vendor show, I wasn't quite sure what to expect! But the event was great, I was able to do some networking with other local artists and entrprenuers, and I even took a few orders! If I do say so myself, the BonBoards table was definitely the most colorful :)

One of the best parts of my night was getting to meet Mallery. She was about 8 years old and she LOVED the BonBoards. Since her name is spelled differently than most other Mallory's, she has a hard time finding things with her name on it. So the idea of getting a BonBoard for her room with her name spelled correctly was really exciting to her. She picked out the board she wanted, and then I personalized it right there for her! I let her pick out the color she wanted her name to be written in as well as the pushpins to match the board. It was so neat for me to see her little mind searching through all of the pushpins. I would have picked the flower and butterfly pushpins to match the board, but Mallery picked: a frog, three cupcakes, and a flower. This experience with Mallery was the coolest part of the night for me -- the reason I love BonBoards is because they are personalized to what that person wants ... and the pushpins Mallery picked completely symbolized that for me.

I'm participating in another show this Friday, June 1st from 5-9pm called the Trolley Bazaar. You can find more information about the event here! I hope to see you there :)
