The last time we went, 3-4 years ago, we spent $1200. Actually, it was my husband who spent it on very worth-while items. He has chosen to purposefully stay away...ha.

Actually we decided not to go when we saw how many events were going on downtown, I had visions of being stuck in awful traffic and getting caught in a hail storm or something. Instead we went to lunch at Cinco (My new favorite Mexican restaurant) and ate ourselves silly.

I went yesterday, and found it entertaining as always. Of course, hubby and I have a new home (new to us) and we saw many products to fantasize about. So we were an easy audience. $5K window, anyone?

The traffic was a little slow, but it held us back only 5 minutes. There's a full house set up on the show floor - interestingly with plenty of stained glass lighting inside, is it coming back in style? - and that house was fun to walk through. I'd say go, if you're into your house and like to think about new projects.
