And, of course, there is always plenty of free food. If this your first time to visit market check out their First Time to Market webpage.

 |Minutes Matter ~ Suites of Market Square (G-4029) |

While at market, come by and visit us in the Suites of Market Square on the ground floor in space G-4029. You can’t miss us we’re the only one with bright pink and white space. Jackie Von Tobel will be there signing copies of her two books. The Directory of Window Treatments and The Design Directory of Bedding are absolutely the most inspiring and beautifully illustrated books for custom window treatments and bedding. Jackie is a very talented artist and designer from Las Vegas. Stop by and purchase your copies.

Anita from Helser Brothers will also be in the booth beginning Monday to show off their new Jackie Von Tobel hardware collection. The collection is gorgeous. They will be hosting a wine tasting on Tuesday from 2:30PM until. To help us get a count, send a quick email to party@minutesmatter.com if you think you can stop by.
