Hi there! I’d love to set up at the Family Fair! I work with Lorna Jane, the premiere women’s athletic fashion line from Australia. We have shop at Century City (along with 30+ retail shops in the USA so far). I produce and run pop up shops with her all over Greater LA (recently, I hosted two shops with the MAC makeup store in the Village). Please let me know if I could set up at your event on Sunday, October 27th. Many thanks for your consideration and I look forward to speaking with you soon. Cheers, Elizabeth Bennett
