ATLANTA SHOW-SUGARBOO

I am in very hot Atlanta for the fall
gift/furniture show. At 8:00 p.m. it is 86 degrees. Another reason to love Southern Ca. it always cools down at night no matter how hot it is
in the day. But I didn't come here for the
weather, I came to see new product
and share it with my customers who didn't come. 

I am starting at SUGARBOO DESIGNS.
I was pleased to see that they
have a wide range of new product.

This is the Hello series, all 14" x 18"
with the same color and materials of
the popular You Are My Sunshine piece.



 Assembladge
 is like a collage of portions of other pieces
that you might be familiar with
 and it measures 36" x 48"

Another large piece 36" x 48" is
This is the Beginning
Always keep is 22" x 34"

A little touch of whimsy is
Honey Bunny  25" x 17

If you need to add a little color
to your life Sing Your Song
might be just the thing
24" x 20"

Another colorful piece is
Excuse me While I kiss
24" x 28"

I think this metal heart is a sure
winner.  The driftwood heart
has been but I think this one has
even broader appeal.

It measures approximately 24" x 18"
and extends about 9" from the wall

A cut out electrical light
that says You are My Sunshine
is a nice additional to the line


I am particularly fond of
this collection.  They are
8" x 8" and are sold
individually but could be used
in a multitude of ways


Some you will recognize from
larger pieces.  This collection
will be expanded in the future.
Really cute in a baby's room.

If you have the space this is a fun
way to show the new postcards.
It could be done just as effective
on a smaller scale.



The paper products have been
very good sellers.  I am happy
that this has been expanded.
It makes a nice little pick up item.

I thought this was a nice way to
show the pillows.  No new styles
but there are lots to choice from.

Feel free to contact me with any
questions or prices on what I have shown
here as well as other Sugarboo products.

AIDAN GRAY HOME PINK CAMPAIGN


                  Last year Randal Weeks, the owner of
AIDAN GRAY HOME lost his mother to
Breast Cancer.  She was a 20 year
survivor when this terrible disease
attacked her again.  This time no matter
how hard she fought it she lost the battle.
 He speaks of her
with such heart felt devotion.
"She was an amazing mother, an amazing
woman and a huge inspiration to those who
watched her wage the battle of a lifetime.
She has always been my biggest inspiration.
She was my number one fan and she is
irreplaceable."
To honor his mother, and in her memory
he wants to raise money to help with
research and help other women who need
a fighting chance against this insidious disease.
He has put together the
AGH PINK CAMPAIGN
and has launched a collection of 
distinct products for fall introduction.
50% of the proceeds of the sales
will be donated to charities in the
fight against breast cancer.
I am very proud of Randal for taking
this step and look forward
to helping him reach his goal.
The lamps all have a pink band on the
inside bottom trim of the shade, so
when you see them, they look normal,

but glance up into the shade, the subtle
reminder is there.  I think this is the first
collection of home products that is not overtly pink
and is designed for the everyday home.



The chandelier has pink in the gold drops,
just enough to break through the gold leaf
and shine when focused on.

Each product will have a beautiful hang
tag with a picture of Randals mother
on one side and the message on the other.


There is also going to be advertising in
both consumer

and trade publications

I am looking forward to the Atlanta Gift
show, which is just around the corner,
to see all of these products in person.

Along with the POP ART piece of
Marlene Weeks that will be
the focal point of the show.


Please contact me with any question
regarding the AGH PINK CAMPAIGN

IN THE PALISADES

 
Nestled in the quiet oasis of Pacific Palisades
sits KIER DESIGNS.  Heidi has put
together an international range of
elegant, charming and unique items
to help make a house a home.  She does
a great job of mixing vintage, new, funky
and throws in some elements from
the beach.  Her window displays are always
inviting with a taste of what is to come.









It doesn't take long to see that Heidi
has a passion for lighting. 
She makes great use of the ceiling
space for her collection of chandeliers.




You can chose from a wide range of
lamp bases in a variety of color and shapes.




Or pick from a nice select of AIDAN GRAY HOME




This is a great place to come for accessories and
this wall fixture is a good place to start.





The beautiful pieces from SCENTS AND FEEL
make for a nice hostess gift or the
finishing touch in a bathroom.



I think Heidi has created a comfortable,
casual but also sophisticated look.
