More from Market...!



Trays, trays, and more trays..... The request from the store was to lookout for some trays for display.  I think I find more than plenty.  Coming to the store soon.




Oh, I had a chance to quickly take a detour and see Adam Richman of Man vs. Food give a presentation on how to make the Best Sandwich in the Country.  It smelled delicious!



The part of Market I always enjoy is taking in the scenery around me.  The vendors come up with most beautiful vignettes that I can't even wrap my head around.  The following are just a few I remembered to pull out my camera to take a snap shot.




My next visit on this trip was a complete Mission Impossible.  It was my last day and I was determined to find the source for this art work...

I searched EVERY art vendor the previous day stopping in asking if the Welcome Home  and Wash Your Hands print belonged to them.  I was getting nowhere quickly...but, I did find ALOT of art that I would have otherwise passed by...more about that later:)  So, it's my last day, I only have two hours left before I have to run to catch my plane and I finally find a very kind lady who directs me up just one floor up and viola!  It was my AAHHAA moment!!   Maybe you had to be there to understand the "needle in the haystack" moment...we're talking about 3 HUGE buildings, 20 floors in some, thousands of vendors...you get the picture:)


Of course, I ordered the Welcome Home, Wash Your Hands, New York, and Hilton Head signs.  I also loved and ordered the look of this Meridians and Parallels print.


Didn't order anything from the photos below, but just wanted you to get a feel of how awesome and unique these prints are.



Completely drawn to these sea creatures.



After I had the feeling of complete satisfaction and grinning from ear to ear, I made an impulse purchase for summer tote bags.  My designers can tell you that there is always some purchase that I make that makes them wonder WHY?  One year it was a small, black iron mouse, and another year it was antlers (before they became a chic accessory).  I keep them wondering:)

So I found these tote bags in a gray and natural Chevron pattern.  At retail they will only be $19!  


This is a small tote big enough for your phone and cash.  Retail $10.


Also coming are insulated cooler bags, weekend duffel bags and trunk organizers.  

There are still more photos but I think I'll save them for another day.  Like I said earlier, I was inspired by sea glass, sea shells, and whales.  This guy is off course and will be migrating to our store soon.  What shall we call him?

  2. Yes, still showing heavy at Market! Also showing up in showrooms was color and geometric patterns. I think chevron in bright colors will still be a hit this spring and summer:)
