The Gift Fair was held in Dallas in January, and we needed all four days allocated to view the gorgeous range of supplies on hand. It is a little depressing to realise not everything can come back to the store (due to exchange rate and delivery expenses) but we worked hard to find a few products that are unique and simply gorgeous.
The most amazing part of the show is the huge range of suppliers with permanent large retail size stores set up with their latest products. The displays are inspiring, and while there were many products we can already get in Australia, we found a few treasures.
The colour trends were very clear. Apple green and red, or with the inclusion of silver. There were also a huge use of flowers and bows in decorating the trees. The apple green is such a fresh addition to the tree. It adds modern sparkle, without needing to replacing all existing decorations. The photo above gives you a great example of the freshness of the tree, but still maintaining a traditional colour theme. We can’t wait to make up a tree like this in our 2009 store.
Cheers
Chrissie
