I am just back from the New York Gift Show and thought I would show you a few pictures that I took of some of the trends I noticed, and a few pictures of merchandize I ordered.
It was a great show and I am excited to receive my orders...So here we go..I love the idea of the french statue inside a birdcage ...what a great piece for a foyer..or a hallway...stunning!!
Ok Lets talk lighting...sorry a few of these pictures are blurry I was snappy quickly b/c you are not allowed to take pictures...but sometimes I just could not resist...The picture above is of these fabulous massive twig lighting I think these lights would look great over dinning room table..
A trend I noticed was reclaimed wood...in furniture and in lighting...love love these massive sconces..they are reclaimed I think from wine barrels...
Well what can I say... bird house lighting had to take a snap...
Sweet little wire lights ..sort of reminded me of cloths hangers..but these beauties would be brilliant over a kitchen island
I loved this booth called Peacock Alley..I order some fabulous rugs...and cushions..Happy!
Spotted another bird house light...love it!!
The British are coming...I saw union jack everything...from curtains to cushions to portraits of the Queen...even on the quick bus ride home sat next to a lovely handsome chap from Nottingham who plays scrabble...I kid you not..So farewell Eiffel Tower and Paris... and hello crowns, queens, and red white and blue...who knew!!
I ordered some great bath products from Tokyo milk..there packaging is to die for .
Their greeting cards are the best around..this should be arriving mid march...
I took these pictures from Habitually Chic a great blog... But I am in love with John Derian and every time I go to the show I want to place an order so badly...is just he is pricey and I am not sure if St.Catharines is ready to spend $95.00 on a plate...gosh I wish you would let me know b/c if you would I will order this lickity split
Christopher Jagmin was also fabulous I love his number serious collection..I am going to bring him in...So gang start collecting his collection , this would be great in a hallway , in a kitchen , or dinning room....love love his plates....Below is a Thomas Paul Pillow...his designs are wonderful he does stationary as well...drooling over his catalogue..and will be placing an order here as well!
So much goodness....I can hardly wait for it all arrive... I will keep you posted when the shipments start arriving!
Well it is Valentines week!...I was adoring this Valentine by Rob Ryan...Seriously how much time and patients must have gone into this Valentine..To cut out each of these flowers and lace work...oh my... I think for the rest of this week I am going to blog about lovely things..so stay tuned...don't you think a day just to celebrate love .... is just Marvellous!
I was browsing on a blog over the pond called "Design Nova" and thought this bird house book shelf was darling...and look how smart this clock is below..a bike wheel...they are pretty clever!
I would love to have a few of these for the laundry room, or hallway, or a closet...I love the modern design! Sharp!!

This is a great idea for a boys birthday party...I love the orange runway down the table..brillant!!
I love Fish Eddy's...it is a wonderful dish store with piles and piles of dishes both new and old to sort through..I may have to pick up some more of the Central Park dishes for the cottage...Don't you just love the colors in this pattern..
Balthazar Just may be my favourite restaurant in NYC..I will defiantly pop in here for a sweet...or lunch...depending on the time!
I discovered this thrift store with Tony a few years back...and I always try to see if I can make it back to there...they have the most amazing furniture...and it is insanely reasonable..not to mention they have some pretty swanky clothes ..Like channel suits etc!!
