KKPW Designs & Sacramento Fashion Week

Friday night was the Sacramento Fashion Show.....we were a vendor there and it was great!! We made a great connection with Charlene of Ultimate Pink, it is an online magazine that supports female business owners. We also met Mark, the owner of a local Davis Winery and had a great conversation about hosting a wine and jewelry party at his winery. And last but not least, we met Adrienne Bankert of KCRA 3 and she loved our designs which we were so very excited about!!! So it was a blast, the designers did a great job on the clothing as well. So in the fall, come see us there, we will do it again!!

KKPW Display Setup

I got the pieces from Brenda to create the display for Friday night, and I love them. She gave me some modern vases, tall, slender, black and clear, with some rocks and other pieces to add as accents. I think it will go well!! I am going to work on putting it together tonight so that it is aesthetically pleasing.
Pictures to follow!!

KKPW Designs & Sacramento Fashion Week

So I believe I have come up with the perfect setup for Sacramento Fashion Show. My friend, Brenda, own's the Kraft Factory, and she has pulled some great vases together that can be vertical or horizontal, I can place rice or stones, or even beans in them and use them as the core of the table. I am going to place pieces within the vases and around them by color. The table cloth will be black and I have my normal black cases that I have filled with rice to use as displays as well.

I am looking forward to putting all the pieces together. Wish me luck!!

KKPW Display Setup

We have setup manytables, and some have been good and some have been iffy, and now my mission is to find the perfect table display for our designs, at least the one I think is perfect for this week. Is it out there? I have looked for ideas, suggestions, pictures, what others are doing, let me tell you, there isn't much to be found.

Any ideas? I would love to hear them!!!!

Saturday with KKPW Designs

So last night we did a boutique show at the local M.E. Boutique, it was fun and well attended by a very large group of friends. One of the woman's husbands bid on the evening at M.E. Boutique at an auction and it was catered with food and wine and the woman invited her friends and they were able to laugh, shop, eat and drink all together. It was quite a blast. I met quite a few people myself and learned quite a bit from one person in particular.

Today I am recooperating and creating......can't beat that!!!

KKPW Designs in Search

Hello,

And welcome to our designs companies search to the next level. We are trying all different avenues, we have created press kits, sent them out, contacted magazine, newspapers directly, we have joined networks, and we have done just about everything but show up on front doors. I know it is a process and things are going well on the day to day elements......if you haven't visited our site, you should, we have a nonprofit we will be selling a piece for shortly. The nonprofit is the Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Center, in Yolo County. They provide services to abused women and children, and it is one of the best nonprofits around. I was a board member for many years, and believe strongly in what they do. So within the next month or so, you should be able to visit us at www.kkpwdesigns.com to see the design, and learn more about the nonprofit.
