What's New From Market

I attended market in New York a week ago and left feeling full of energy! There are lots of new and exciting things happening out there. First, we loved Yves DeLorme's new collection! Not to mention the partnership they've created with Mis en Demeure for furniture and accessories. I'll write a separate post on this collection later. New t the market place -- bed scarfs! Since they began showing up in even the most modest hotels a year ago, we get asked for them. Now Peacock Alley has introduced a whole collection of them with matching pillows -- a great way to dress up a neutral bed. I'll post an article on these and how to use them later. Color -- Sferra has added a new collection which is really tropical in feel and will be beach house oriented -- think Florida, Caribbean and Cabo! SDH has added luxurious new items in the Purists collection and in their ever popular Legna. Scandia Down is going to add a line of upholstered Headboards -- which are absolutely fabulous and very competitive in pricing.

Other than that, my focus was on adding to our bathroom accessories collections and we were successful! We are adding a new ivory and gold capiz collection to replace our old discontinued collection and it is even more beautiful than the old. We bought more of our two favorite collections -- R Pulvemacher who does decoupage waste and tissue boxes and Robert Weiss -- who paints on the reverse side of the glass -- again wastebaskets and tissue boxes. And we've added Gail DeLoach for a more modern look!

And then I focused on fragrances -- we have a new diffuser line coming in, new soaps that are packaged to die for and finally -- the newest candle from the NEST collection -- we'll keep that as a springtime secret and let you know when we get it!
