Some of my favorite Swiss Days items

Swiss Days was absolutely packed this year, just like every other year. It was almost a joke trying to see the inside of most of the booths so I did my best at gathering business cards from the busiest booths. I figured that if there was a line to get into the booth that I should at least get their card and check them out at home where I didn't have to wait in line! It never ceases to amaze me how many people there are and every year there is some new product that all the women want. This year it seemed to be headbands. Seriously, headbands that cost like $15 a piece for a little girl!! I didn't get any headband business cards and the only one I can remember is www.pinkbench.com. Below are some of the items that I found the most interesting.

The paintings by the Winborg Sisters' Design were by far my favorite. They really were awesome. Check out their blog to see for yourself. http://www.winborgdesign.blogspot.com/




These vinyl wallets and bags were pretty cool too. You can see them at http://www.vinyliciousdesigns.com/





I LOVE family history so this booth from Stories By Me really caught my attention.







Don't know that I would wear one of these hats myself, but they looked great on everyone else. They had so many great fabrics and a couple of great styles. Check them out.






If you are in the baby stuff market here are a few places to check out.

LOVE this outfit from Saranoni.





I really want one of these for the next baby. They are baby slings from Mod Mum.




I know that these Minky blankets are everywhere there were even quite a few booths of them at Swiss Days. But I like them and these were pretty fancy.

What is Swiss Days? It sure has been fun watching your boys grow up on the blog! It makes us not feel so far away! 3 weeks left lots of emotions about leaving but so much excitment to come home and see our kids, and grandkids!
Let us know the next time your home and we'll drive up for a visit!
