Right at Home: Fair Previews What’s New in Gifts
On this side of the aisle, weathered barn boards and a chipped farmhouse table are laden with patchwork toys, quilts and wooden pull toys. On the other, the latest innovation in holographic technology turns a kid’s iPad case into a mini surfing movie.

It’s a working fair, meaning that store owners are there to buy. If you want to know what the trends are, watch where the crowds gather to place orders.
