Greetings from Cathy and Ellen Heck, a mother-daughter design team based in Austin, Texas. Last year, we shared a few tips for booth set-up–in a nutshell: color, creativity, and comfortable shoes. So, this year, we decided to share our best bets for the hours after the SURTEX lights go out.

When we return to our studios after our trip to New York, not only are we filled to the brim with new ideas from SURTEX client visits and neighbor exchanges, but we have filled our extra suitcases with “research” loot from our favorite creativity-boosting stops in Manhattan. Here are a few or our favorites combined with some new places we plan to add to our after-SURTEX dessert-for-the-soul list. What are your favorite inspiration destinations? Please share them with all of us in the comment box.  Read more...
