NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL GIFT FAIR COASTAL EDITION

On Saturday, Brian and I went to the New York International Gift Fair (isn't he such a sweetie for coming with?) at the Javits Center in NYC. I LOVE the NYIGF to see what's new in the market and meeting all of the designers behind home's most coveted brands. This trip was a little different as we were both looking at the market in a different way - against the backdrop of the product line I am in the midst developing (Spring/Summer 2012 launch).

I was so inspired and enjoyed so much the goodies everywhere, check them out:

I loved these handmade nautical wall hangings (which were HUGE) from Dolan Geiman all made from recycled materials:

 Pretty California Chic pottery by RS handmade 

I loved the color combo's and shapes (above)

Pretty beach rock art by Funk Rock Designs:
