Domino Bazaar: Event Wrapup

We had fun. In our opinion, the heart of the Domino Bazaar this year were the live classes. While the shopping area was - as readers said here - smallish and uninspired (it felt more like product placement than editor's picks), our own class and those we saw on Sunday were full and had a lot of energy...

We enjoyed ourselves, talked to many "curees" and was surprised at how full it got in the afternoon.

When we arrived we saw a flower decorating class with an intense pack of flower afficianados and as we exited Robert Verdi was packing them in to a class on electronics in the home.

Outside of that the best things we saw were below. Pardon the cameraphone pix.

The ANTIQUES room was the best. The stuff in here had soul and style. Everything was a mix from Nathan Turner and Ames Ingham, both of Los Angeles.

These pictures suck, but these tall pinholed hurricane lamps were very cool and must cast an amazing light. They are by b>Not Neutral.

Finally, we were surprised to discover that Ralphie Baby himself has a new green Bed and Bath line called SPA. It looked lovely and was all organic.

speak for yourself, not bad for a cameraphone!

I was very disappointed in the Bazaar while I agree the classes were the highlights, I wanted more interaction with the editors and staff of the magazine and yes far less editors picks and more product placement and it felt a bit picked over by the time i got there at noon on Sunday, there wasn't a very large selection and it was on the boring side. I wanted the Antiques room to be much larger as well so you could really see the pieces.

I guess the moral is if you go(or go again)..go Saturday morning...

I wonder if everyone who attended has received their subscription of the domino magazine...it was supposed to be included with the admission fee. I tried calling the magazine but they couldn't find my record and said someone would contact me and that was early december. Should I just forget it and subscribe it on my own?
