Jan/25/07new york
it is thursday, jan. 25th, and i am posting a new blog today because i will be leaving for new york in 2 days and will be out of pocket for a while...we will be at the ny gift show until next thursday, or so...poor billy is already on his way to get a jump start on set up...always hellish
i am excited about this show because i am so excited about our new product...i think it is really pretty cool...we have some new tole lamp bases that i really like, and a couple of new iron lighting sconces that i think are very good looking...but, it is the papier mache that i am really, really thrilled with...it is just sooo different from anything i have seen out there...and it has such a great, organic feel to it....we have about 7 lamp bases now, and i love every single one of them...and we did some new stool/accent table things that i LOVE...we used them at the atlanta show (you can see one in the pictures of our showroom from the previous blog) and they are so strong and so comfortable and so functional and just so fabulous...i have not been this pumped about new designs in ages, and it feels good.....we also have some fun birds to sit around and a couple of mirrors in the papier mache that look great....and it is all white, which is so unlike me...but i love it! i think it looks so sleek and fresh and universally usable....but i also can't wait to add color to it, which we will do for the next round of shows...i have tons of other designs in to the manufacturer, and i can't wait to see the samples...my head is just spinning with all of the possibilities....
anyway, i hope that the buyers in ny will be as pleased with the new line as i am...we had a great show in atlanta, but sometimes they can be very different markets...here is what i am not excited about -- the weather...i just heard that there is going to be an arctic blast descending on new york for the next week(the week we'll be there, naturally)...what is an arctic blast? it doesn't sound very friendly, does it? so, if you are going to be at the show, please come see us and bring a nice hot cup of coffee....jane gray/designer/stray dog designs
