Each January and July, retail shop owners, interior designers and buyers for large department stores around the world flock to New York City to attend the New York International Gift Fair searching for the newest offerings by the world's finest artisans, manufacturers and designers. I love going to New York anytime, but particularly to see this exciting show!
I always look forward to attending the Gift Fair becuase it gives me the opportunity to speak with the designers directly and see and feel their entire collection. We discuss current trends, potential custom options and suggestions for combinations within their lines.
Garnier Thiebaut - one of Tournesol's favorite designers - will be featuring a new line called Green Sweet. Green Sweet is a revolutionary line of 100% cotton tablecloths and placemats that function like coated products. They look great, they feel great, and best of all, liquid spills are easily wiped up with a damp sponge.
I am confident that, as always, the New York International Gift Fair will not disappoint. I promise to return next week with lots of fabulous new finds and exciting new colors just in time for spring and summer.
