Events: Pool Show - Las Vegas, NV

Charms City Company is taking flight and heading to Las Vegas for the February 13-15th Pool Tradeshow!  Rachel and I have been busy preparing our booth setup, props and new jewelry collections for this huge show!



This is the first trade show we have ever done and what a way to jump in - VEGAS!  We're flying out early to locate the finishing touches that we need, since we can't transport everything in checked bags and carry-ons.  Let's hope we can find the right kind of tree branches in the desert for our key tree:)

We've been busy beefing up our inventory so we can quickly fulfill orders when we get back.  Of course a trip to Vegas can't be all work and no fun, so we are staying a few extra days after the show to celebrate the completion of our first trade show!

Favorite Recipes: Tortilla Chicken Chili

Since Rachel and I both full time jobs as well as running Charms City Company, sometime finding time to prepare a homemade dinner can be challenging.  My secret weapon on a cold winter night is Tortilla Chicken Chili from McCormick!  My good friend, Amy, made this recipe and shared it with me.  The first time I had this, I fell in love with chili all over again!  It's super easy and so delicious.  I've made it for get togethers in a large crock pot, too.  Stay warm with this easy chili recipe-

happy eats-
