Newlywed Chick, Jenny Vittiglio (formerly our very own Jenny Hammond) set up a booth to share the adorable (and mostly sparkly) spoils of her wedding reception with us all.
The Persnickety Chick brought along a trunk of all sorts of new goodies this year.
And NEW ON THE SCENE check out her Altered Ancestors. What a hoot!

Wendy Costa was back with the most fabulous booth ever!! Check it out . . .
Special thanks for the use of her adorable little car we used in the design of this year's parking permit!~
The ever lovely Shauna and her clan of Under the Green Umbrella and her adorable upcycled creations . . .

Wouldn't be a proper Chicks event without some cupcakes!
Candies and Cupcakes from Rome, New York was back.
And a new gal on the frontline:
Jenny of JCookies! Yum! Yum! Yum!
She made these adorable little guys especially for our show. Patterned after our logo design. So awesome!
