Ahh, the New York International Gift Show. If you have never experienced a gift show, it can be quite overwhelming!! Miles of beautiful goodies lined up for the looking, and more importantly, the buying! Recently Tara, Kate and I traveled to NYC to peruse the show and shop for our lovely 2012 brides-to-be. Each of our brides next year have such different taste that it was fun to see what new things might be a good fit for each of them. I took some pics along the way so you could see what we shopped for! What do you think of these?

Some of our brides this year are loving bold colors…which totally excites us! These amazing pillows would really punch up our white sofas!

 

We’ve used this company before for Martha’s Vineyard guest bags, but loved their new size for brides looking to do a smaller bag!

Tara loved the vintage feel to this velvet ribbon. Any would look beautiful tied to a bouquet. With so many different colors you could find one to match any bride’s look!

These pendant lights look like they’ve been weathered with time. Wouldn’t they look fab hanging over a bar?

 

Kate liked these plates, bowls, and cups as a unique presentation instead of boring banquet china

So maybe not for a traditional wedding, but we have a slight office obsession with antlers. How cool??

These candlesticks would be good for a bride with modern taste!

TGIFFF! (Thank goodness it’s fabulous finds Friday!) I am so excited about this…You already know how much we love the blog Design*Sponge. If you remember they featured Tara in a story on entertaining a while back. This site covers all things design, cooking and DIY. It has taken the world by storm and we are not surprised as it is so user friendly and fabulous. Brooklyn-based writer, Grace Bonney, started the site and since then has been toiling away on creating a book from all of the amazing design ideas collected. After several years of work the book is finally here! We cannot wait to get a copy in our hands.

To celebrate, Design*Sponge is hitting the road and coming to 30 different cities to promote the new book…And they are coming to Charleston!  Grace Bonney will be signing books at Dwelling on October 26 from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm.

The evening will benefit the youth-centered local arts charity, Yo Arts Project, so please bring art supplies to support this wonderful organization.

Added bonus: Design*Sponge has asked us to design a custom backdrop against which you can take photos with your friends and fellow guests! How much fun is that?

Design*Sponge is asking you please RSVP for this event so pretty please visit their website and do so soon! We look forward to seeing you there!

It’s official…Lane is a TV star! She made her debut on The Nate Berkus Show yesterday morning! The ever talented and crafty Nate was showing viewers how to update a home office inexpensively and creatively. We’re glad to see that Nate thinks Lane makes a great desk chair…we couldn’t agree more! Watch the clip for yourself and you can see it too. Don’t forget you can buy Lane for yourself at Frank and Lane or rent it locally from Snyder Event Rentals!
