Besomim Spice Box Arrangement

This arrangement was ordered recently by a client for a Bar Mitzvah weekend.  The family was staying at their beachfront summer house, hence the theme.

I had bought the wooden tray at a warehouse sale not quite knowing what to do with it, but not being able to resist it either.  The round boxes are actually made from the bark of a cinnamon tree and smell delicious.  I filled them with a custom mixture of spices, petals and slivers of mother of pearl. (see picture)

The client had mentioned that she was using a navy and white color scheme.  When I did this mockup, I didn't quite like the color tones.  Although I thought it looked great as is, I wanted a more white look as opposed to a  green one.  My next step was to spray the green sea urchins a matte white.  I then glued  down all the shells leaving spaces for the round boxes.  The boxes were wedged in by the shells but were easily removed.

This is what it looked like with

the sea urchins painted white.
  It definitely looked cleaner
 and brighter.

And this is with the boxes open.  I

really loved the way they came out.

PURIM 2015

Just a note.  For any of you out there who are thinking ahead for Purim, it's not too early to discuss your Purim orders.  We customize our Shalach Monos to your exact needs. Show season is coming up now and it's a great opportunity for us to find the special touches that make each of our packages unique. We don't mass produce any of our packages and there is no minimum order.   Why not contact us and we'll be happy to help you deliver beautiful Purim baskets to friends, family and business associates.

THE SET UP

I've been to many shows at the Javits Center though never as an exhibitor. As the BizBash Show is a one day affair, I kept the display pretty straightforward.  

I had previously noticed that most attendees, upon entering the Exhibition Hall, always head to the left aisles first.  I know that it takes me time to really get into walking a show and so I therefore had two requests when I booked the booth. I wanted a booth on the right side of the hall and I wanted a corner site. This would give me two exposures for my display.  Luckily, I got both.

Julia and Renata, pictured above, helped with the set-up on Monday.   I was displaying close to fifty samples of past jobs.  Lots of shlepping but well worth it.  On Tuesday morning, I added some more packages to fill in some empty spots and I was good to go. Except for some last minute switches, this is basically what the booth looked like.

The show was a great success and we're looking forward to all the new opportunities it has opened up for us.

Update:


We're hard at work with last minute preparations for our first Trade Show Booth.
As mentioned before, I had been invited to display at the Biz Bash Show.  This is
a For the Trade Show which takes place once a year in New York.  This year's
show is scheduled for October 28, at the Javits Center.
We've done a few shows before such as the Mitzvah Market and the B2B Show,
but this is the first Trade show that I'm attempting.  Can't say I don't have butterflies about it but I'm very excited too.  We have a corner booth in a great
location and I'm looking forward to it.  I'll be taking more than forty samples of
packages with me so this week will be a very busy one.
We'll be sure to post some pictures.

Water Bottles

Many times, when the box being used is a smaller one, I run into the problem of where to put the water bottles.  One of the solutions I've come up with is pictured here.
Instead of two medium sized bottles, I use one large one.  I then wrap a newspaper
or magazine around it and then cover it with a matching paper.  There is usually
enough room at the top to insert two cups.  It makes for a neat package.
