Peparing for Atlanta Market 2011

The time is drawing near for The Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishing Summer Market 2011. If you haven't registered, you'd better get on it. And if you're planning on coming, don't miss my showrooms! Fortunata will be introducing some exciting new accessory pieces from the Casa Mia collection, Casa Mia Home. Winter market saw a snow storm, so I'm hoping for a great success for all the vendors this market!  

This weekend,I'm off to Orangeburg, SC to finalize fabrics and finishes for my other showroom, Designer Wicker.

Styling HP 2011 + food, ceramics, furniture, antiques

{Food, Furniture, Antiques, Ceramics}: Guide to HP Market 2011

[styling: food]

This week has been such a crazy, hectic week! It all started bright and early on Sunday morning with my first food styling lesson with an Atlanta based photo stylist...Food styling is such a daunting task (as she forewarned) but the shoot was fantastic and I learned so much!

Fortunata - International Home Furnishings Center, Space D-30

I had so much fun styling this showroom. Fortunata's pieces are all hand made in Italy from the vision of Mrs. Margaret Proctor, and they are so beautiful. 

Here's a recap in pictures: had a few minutes to photograph before I left..

Casa Mia Collection - My favorite

Green for Spring!

Feste Collection, loved my picture of this row of bread plates.

The Ivory Looked Awesome grouped together with a white backdrop.

Casa Mia Bakeware. So cool.

Feste | pitcher, mugs, trays

New Ginkgo Collection

Feste Place Setting in Ivory- Very Nice mixed with Orange

True Craftsman Ship

Casa Mia Cereal Bowl

 P.s....one other thing that I learned during this styling endeavor:

NEVER PICK UP CERAMICS BY THEIR HANDLE!
