For retailers (whether its on-line or the brick and mortar variety), its the silly season with trade fairs. For people who haven't heard of them, its basically hundreds and hundreds of manufacturers and wholesalers who come together at the Exhibition center to showcase their products. Buyers and owners of retail shops then walk around and shop for products to put in their stores.
Sounds great doesn't it? I used to do this in my past life (pre kids!) and it was even better back then, as it wasn't my money that I was spending! Now that its my money, I have to reign myself in and not go too crazy!!
I love shopping around for good quality new products that are unique and educational (that's also travel friendly) ... that's one of the reasons why I've started my own online shop. So after visiting several of these trade fairs recently, I'm really excited to report that I've found some great new games for my online store! Stay tuned, as I will be revealing them as soon as they are in stock!
Have you got a passion that you've turned into a business?

Can't wait to see what your new games are! We're going on a big overseas trip next year and ouyr daughter will be 3, so will certainly be having a indepth look at your store before we go!
Definitely - my passion is gemstones and making great wearable jewellery with them. But I just LOVE shopping for new stones. If I could do it every day I'd be pretty darn happy!
Keep up the good work on your blog!! I'll be adding your link to mine today :)
Tikiboo - the first trip is always a bit daunting, but it does get easier! Let me know if you need some travel tips as I put them on my monthly newsletters and I will be uploading a section onto my site soon and will be blogging about it.
Annette - thanks for your kind feedback on my blog. That's great that you've turned your passion into your business. You've got some gorgeous jewellery!
