So Deanna and I got back from Tucson a couple of weeks ago and just got to see everyone's reactions to what we brought back this week. The most common question I get is, "How was Tucson". It was fine. I don't enjoy being in Tucson, but I absolutely LOVE coming home with new and exciting things to show everyone. The day we got there it was 84 degrees, and when we left, there was snow. That's pretty typical there this time of the year, and it poses some packing challenges.
We knew that the economy was going to have an affect on what we saw in Tucson, but we weren't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find some really cool stuff, but there were a lot of vendors that decided to not go. Everything seems to be getting a little more expensive, but we still got some great deals, mainly because I buy so much. People tell me all the time that they want to go down there for the show and I usually tell them to not bother. If you want to go to just be a part of the spectacle that is Tucson, then great, go. If you want to go to get a great deal, don't bother. Deals are found if you are buying tons, like me. By the time you add up everything the trip costs, you are not getting a deal on anything. And just like any show, you have to be careful what you buy, if it seems like it's too good to be true, it probably is.
So check back to this blog as often as you like, I promise to write often. Thanks for taking the time!
