genealogy + ikea + fun liz + philly = my first conference
Next week I am going to Philadelphia for my first genealogy conference! Excited, nervous, thrilled…am all of the above.
Fun Liz will be driving over from Annapolis to help me, and we are immediately heading to IKEA to get booth furniture which I will then sell on Craigslist after the show. (to save on shipping, you see) So, if you know anyone in Philly please tell them I’ll have cool IKEA white + chrome furniture for sale cheap-ola on Saturday 9/6. Here’s my Craigslist ad. Everything must go.
After my original post about the conference, a reader named Megan emailed me and said she and her mom recently went to a genealogy show. Her advice? Bring your patience and your large type books. Comedy!
It will be very interesting to see whether my work is a fit for this audience. I keep being told genealogy is becoming way more popular, so maybe we’ll be the new young hip kids or something.
Either way, I am looking forward to the adventure and do promise to report back here.

Kim, I am so glad you came to the genealogy conference in Philadelphia. You are a very confident young lady, and I enjoyed talking with you. I think your work is a perfect fit for family historians. Your talent and skill are incredible, your custom books are beautiful, and I can’t wait to do a project with you.
Best wishes for business success!
