On Our Way to CHA…

Saturday, January 12th

It’s a great time of the year for us here at Ever After. We’ll be headed up to our wholesale-only Trade Show known as CHA. We mix and mingle with other store owners. We see what the manufacturers have in store for us. We get inspired. All with one purpose in mind. To bring this paper crafting goodness back to Ever After. The show is earlier than in the past…meaning, you will start seeing a flow of new product sooner than in years past! Woohoo…let’s get this show started!
