Days 14, 15 & 16 at the ISSE Show - southwest

.
Pictures from the ISSE show. Gene unloading at the ISSE show. See our booth wedged between the two cape companies. Here's a new scissor tatoo sported at the show. Nikita crawling into our booth. The only way in or out.

The show is over and sales were less than we anticipated. It could have been the economy, but the floor plan was redesigned so that our aisle was not a flow aisle like last year and we were wedged into a space between two cape and smock booths. I think some people thought we were all one large booth that just happened to sell shears. Our class was really full even though it was at the end of the day on Monday and Nikita's name was not in the program. Nikia always has a terrific class and I think this was one of the best.

I had a haircut by Paul at the Onesta booth. Both he and his wife Caron, educators for the new company Onesta were using our shears. We saw Derek Johnson at the show lots of old friends.

For you sharpeners out there, I sharpened a few dozen shears and took a photo of the Kasho Millenium. If you have not taken this shear apart, be warned. Use a UFO tool and watch out for the washer BETWEEN the blades. It took me 15 minutes to get these babies back together and I was beginning to panic.
