New York Gift Fair

The Gift Fair is coming up on August 14 until the 18th. We are lucky to exhibit again in the Studio Division of the gigantic Javits Center, where many independent designers and studios have their booth. I still need to finalized some new products and update the catalogue, but mostly is all done. I'm slowly learning how to organize my work and start earlier to work on the preparation for each show. I can't postpone it until the last minute, every time!
So here it is. I took the photo for the invite the same day as this posting. The blue table never seems to fail as a background. And we have now a nice collection of invites from several shows done together. Come to visit our booth #4124 together with Albertine Press, May Day Studio and even some letterpress cards by Susy Pilgrim Waters. And happy weekend!

English alphabet ribbons

Preparing samples and catalogues for the upcoming New York Gift Show in the middle of August, I also ordered some custom made English letters for the Brocaded Ribbon line. The letter J is brand new and the latest addition to the collection. Just received a large box from Italy with hundreds of rolls, perfectly in time for the show!

Pikku unique cloth + wares

It all started with this first meeting last summer. Thinking a way of collaborating with Pikku that will combine their beautiful patterns with cotton ribbons, creating a product that we can both use in our line. I was so happy when Valerie announced her brand new site and shop, where I could see the final designs and a small signature detail of ribbon sewn into her pillows and tees. Love the photos and how amazing is the online shop organized into different colors?

Estate

Completely in a vacation mood after this small trip to the country side over the weekend and not be able to recover. Especially after seeing this beautiful, short movie by Kinfolk, that made me remember many wonderful dinners shared with friends. Thank you ChellisWilson for introducing me. Filling up orders and working on a upcoming collaboration, we are leaving soon for a real vacation on the ocean. See you back after July 17th and I hope all of you are enjoying these bright, summer days!
