Dallas Market {The Royal Standard}

This past week/weekend I traveled to our Dallas showrooms to set up camp for the January gift market. We (The Royal Standard) have two permanent showrooms in Dallas, and we also have permanent showrooms in Atlanta, High Point and Vegas. January market is kiiiind a big deal!

It is NON-stop in our showrooms. Our products sell really well for retailers. They're at a great price point and on trend. Have I mentioned how much I love my job?!

I work with these products every day. From conception until they're in our warehouse in Alabama. It's fun to actually see what I've been working on in real life. And people getting excited about it! I try to take time to see what our customers are really loving and (sometimes) not loving. I walk around the room eavesdropping on the conversations to get a feel for what's really selling in their stores.

That's what it's all about. Our customers being happy and selling the heck out of our products. Here are a few photos I snapped around our TRS Dallas showrooms:

Boot Cuffs and Oprah

Yesterday was a beautiful day. I knew it was coming, but it took me by surprise. Heading to checkout with a cart full of groceries I spied the October issue of O Magazine.

I flipped out.

Standing at the checkout line in HEB. I was THAT crazy lady. Ran to the magazine, and started flipping through. Found it. Towards the back, on the bottom of page 178 next to "Genius Ideas!". HAPPY DANCE ensued!!!

A crazy surreal moment when I saw our product and our name in print. I am so proud of the Product Development Team (and proud to be on the team, y'll!). We work hard every day, and this is our first mention in a BIG publication, so it's an incredible honor for us.

Sooo. Go GET YOUR BOOT CUFFS before they sell out!! I mean. How stinkin' adorable, right?!!!

I'm heading to Birmingham in the morning for the week. Tons to be done. Lots of amazing things happening at The Royal Standard!! Super excited about our future. Did I mention that I just love my job?!
