showcasing PostScript Brooklyn
Weeks of preparation and materials sourcing made the event worthwhile.
We checked out Roy Vaccaro's New York Old Iron near the Lowe's parking lot
and under the F train in Gowanus, Brooklyn. There were interesting vintage finds such as this stove and oven. Love the compartments and color.

to
Jamali Gardens for some table display decor and accoutrements for PostScript's booth.

Alas...day of The Cream Event has arrived!
Dave, Leah, Erica and I loaded the UHaul with all of the display items for our booth. We arrived at Center 548 at 1:30pm to set it all up. Beginning with pretty much a blank white canvas of two tables and provided linens between two white columns, we utilized every minute of the 4 hours prior to the start of the event at 6pm. We each were running back and forth referring to our mobile pics to help guide the set up of the display. Towards the very last moments, Dave helped put up our PostScript Brooklyn bunting banner to finally give identity to our booth.

All of the wire baskets and 3 tiered wire basket display, clips and wire stands were lent by Erica's personal display collection along with the rectangular wooden place card and invitation holders from Etsy. With the help of our friendly neighbors at Brooklyn Wood, Angel cut down the birch logs to mini stumps with rabbit notches to hold our invites.

Such awesome giveaways and freebies to promote each company.
Instant flipbooks printed on the spot in 1 minute. Such a fun way to remember the occasion with a perfect memento to capture an animated photo booth photo/video op. Each guest takes home a little animated memory. I'm so glad to have tried it out with my childhood buddy, Lisa. We were both unsure what to do but be silly and crazy giggly.
