OOH On The Road: H+H in Chicago
HellOOH from Chicago!
Lesley and I have been soaking up a few busy (and very inspiring!) days in Chicago — starting with the SewTites Retreat, exploring the city a little along the way, and now heading into the H+H trade show to hunt down exciting new finds for the shop.
We’ve already seen some incredible new products, fresh ideas, and creative tools we can’t wait to bring back to OOH. Expect sneak peeks, new arrivals, and plenty of behind-the-scenes moments coming your way soon!
