Market Highlight

I spend last Saturday afternoon at the AmericasMart hitting up Market in search of new fabulous-ness and to speak about Blogging! It was great, it was packed, and while I found a lot of really great new products and resources, my new favorite is Design Legacy. I walked through their space twice and while the people running the display didn't seem too friendly (granted they had already braved the snowpocalypse and been there for 3 days) I can look past that because they had super fantastic stuff. Think lots of washed linen prints that look super comfortable but still chic, great accessories that have individuality so two will never be the same, fantastic printed pillows, really lovely metal work (tables, case goods, bar stools, etc.) Check out some of the photos of things BPF and I swooned over.


Totally love the illuminated peace sign! Also, check out that huge bird print on canvas to the left of the peace sign, they had a zillion of them and I love them and intend on buying one! I also freaked out over the rug.



I have a thing for butterflies, cliche I know but I can't help it. I loved that case piece and doors are actually upholstered in a butterfly fabric. Upholstery makes everything better.



I forced him to take this picture against his will. But he looked so cute in the orange chair! The chair was cute too.

Blogging Business & Bites

The January Gift Market is just around the corner, literally next week and down the street from my office. I am super excited because I will be speaking on a panel about Blogging and Design next Saturday as one of the Market events! Ms. Peak of Chic, Mr. Decor Demon, Ms. High Gloss Blue, and myself will all be discussing our blogs, our businesses and how one helps the other, all facilitated by Mr. Blue Remembered Hills. While I am super nervous and a little terrified that I might swear, I invite you to come down, it's going to be super fun and there are cocktails after.

In addition/preparation for the first Market event of 2011, I did a guest post for the AmericasMart Blog, check it out here and get my top 10 tips for visiting the mart.
