John Derian Company Collection
A little quirky and offbeat, the pieces from the John Derian Company are literally flying off the shelves at the New York Home & Gift Market. This designer works from a small NY studio and hand-designs his decoupaged treasures on a made-to-order basis. His accessories, in fun colors and kitschy designs, are inspired by everyday things (florals, birds, desserts, etc) and bring a breath of fresh air to the idea of typical knick-knacks. See below for some of my favorites and a few shots from his booth in New York.
EFNT Freedom Day 2009
September 11th will forever be a day etched in the memory of all Americans; we all remember where we were and what we were doing when we learned of the attacks on the World Trade Center towers in NYC. This year on September 11th, over 400 local volunteers and members of EFNT will also remember where we were: The Dallas Fire & Rescue Training and Maintenance Facility, giving the grounds a much needed facelift.

Gorgeous Schumacher Wall Coverings
Rich, luxurious and elegant... the first three words that came to mind the second my eyes met this booth at Metrocon...fabulous wall coverings from Schumacher. Handmade and layered from tiny, individual bird feathers, (don't worry, it's a painless process for the small animals and the birds are never injured) these beautiful panels literally bring nature inside, and the brilliant colors come alive as the light bounces off of them.
