BurdaStyle flew across the country to the Craft & Hoby Association‘s Winter Conference and Trade Show, held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from January 28th to February 1st. It was a jammed packed weekend full of CRAFTS galore! This recap is a long time coming, we had a gazillion (yes, that’s a number) photos to sort through.
Our story begins in snow covered New York City. Carol, Ruth, and I took an early morning flight and boy, were we excited to see some sunshine!
CHA is about discovering and being inspired by the newest, hottest items on the craft market. We’re excited to share our highlights:
