What a whirlwind!

Ed and I headed off to the Atlanta gift show this past week for a two day romp through the mecca of giftware and fashion. We got to see all the new releases from our usual suspects including Lladro, Disney Classics, Franz, Jim Shore, and more. Plus, we were on the hunt for new and exciting lines to bring in and add to our mix. Here are a few of the notable ones that we are really excited about:

1. LUG Travel

Casual urban handbags and travel accessories. They use bright colors and sleek designs to get the most out of each piece through practical pockets, zippers, and straps. A few of our favorite pieces are the Puddle Jumper handbag and the Nap Sack travel pillow and blanket set.

2. Viva Beads

These handmade clay jewelry selections are bright in color and equally fashionable. Each bead is created using the "caning" methond, which is very similar to the layering method used to make Venetian glass.

3. Hollywood Kitchen

A truly fun line of kitchen accessories featuring Baking Beauties - oven mits with mink, leopard, and tiger trim - and Flashy Splashies - industrial stength household gloves with a femine spin!

This is just a sampling of the fun spring lines that we have in store here at Designers Center. Make sure to check out the store often to see what is new!
