Like most of the exhibitors I spoke with at the inaugural New York City version of the One Of A Kind Show, I was looking forward to spending the weekend in the city and attending the show on Saturday. I had very high expectations. I mean, One Of A Kind in New York City!

The Merchandise Mart (MMPI) crew from Chicago knows how to put on a show. I’ve been to the One Of A Kind in Chicago a couple of times and believe it is a good show.

Surely this show would have aisles of quality art and crafts, and surely I would be able to leave with a few gifts . . .
