(.....and is it<i> really </i>wasting time if you're creating something?)</h4>
<h4>
<br />It's easy to fiddle away a lot of time on social media and other internet temptations, right?<br />Being aware of that, I try to check my e-mail in the morning and <i>maybe </i>spend a few minutes<br />checking FaceBook. (Hah! An hour lost without even trying!)</h4>
<h4>
One morning recently, I was determined to get into creating art (that's a very wide open field for me), and my mind was on painting on silk. To get myself "primed" for this session, I decided to check out a couple of tutorials on YouTube, especially with regard to the *shibori technique, as I am soooo out of practice.</h4>
<h4>
<br />I came across a crafty person using "Sharpie" markers and alcohol on silk scarves. <br />"Okay, I'll bite", I thought. Two hours later, and I have yet <b>another </b>obsession! This was fun!<br />This was easy! This looks like "Shibori" !</h4>
<h4>
<br />And, I never left the comfort of my office/sofa for the studio to do it, a great perk when I'm in<br />"couch potato" mode!<br />I adapted what I saw on the video to my own supplies and techniques, and I LOVED the instant gratification of this simple process.</h4>
<h4>
<br />Here are some sections of the 2 scarves I worked on. With just a little more added detail, heat setting to fix the "paint", and they're ready for market.! How cool is that?</h4>

<h2 align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0mm;">
I
recently attended NYNow (Formerly known as the International Gift
Fair). While walking the aisles in an area called
“Artisan Resource” I had some thoughts that I wanted to share.</h2>
<h2 align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0mm;">
This
section of the show was created specifically for “overseas
enterprises, to showcase their products. It
was brimming with wonderful handmade creations; weavings, jewelry,
baskets, hand dyed scarves and other textiles, wood
carvings, ornaments and pottery. They came from all over the world;
Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, Peru, Palestine,
El
Salvador, Colombia, India, Ghana, Brazil, Afghanistan....and on and
on.
</h2>
<h2>
The
story is told in posters and photos displayed in each booth: Women
in small villages; their only way of making a
living is by producing their specialty; the skills to make their
products are passed down through generations, etc.</h2>
<h2>
The
story is fairly consistent for each of these locales and we are
encouraged to support these small communities. They
are remote, poverty-stricken, needy. Our
support gives them hope, encouragement, a road to a better life.</h2>
<h2>
What
a great idea! After all, Americans are voracious consumers of goods.
Why not purchase for a worthy cause?</h2>
<h2>
Here's
where these thoughts entered my mind: <span style="background-color: blue; color: black;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white;"> What about AMERICA</span><span style="background-color: white;">?</span></span></span>
American Artists, American Craftsmen,
American
Artisans. Soooo many talented people living in communities all
across our nation, from the big metropolis
to
the rural locale off the beaten path. From the left coast to the
right coast, and in the “flyover” country in between, this
country is blessed with incredible, gifted individuals who derive
their living from their chosen medium/craft.</h2>
<h2>
It
is an understatement to say it is a struggle, a challenge, a real
fight to stay afloat financially for most American “Creatives”.
There is no enterprise that specifically encourages us to support
our “local” talent.</h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0mm;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<h2 align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0mm;">
So,
I say, begin your “good-cause consuming” at home. Sustain lives,
families, communities in your own neighborhoods FIRST!
Get out there and find unbelievably creative and original treasures
made by AMERICANS. Find them at local and regional
shows, exhibits and fairs. Find them online. (ETSY is a good place
to begin) </h2>
<h2 align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0mm;">
Purchase!
Share your finds with others. Spread the word. Support those in
the USA doing what they love; creating with
love; hoping to just get by and maybe build a tiny nest egg. Most
have no retirement plan, no health care, no guaranteed
paycheck.</h2>
<h2>
Yes,
it is a chosen profession, but shouldn't we all be doing what we love
as our chosen profession? And shouldn't we
be compensated for the blood, sweat and tears it takes to create our
“products”?
</h2>
<h2>
I
say, emphatically, YES! YES, to America First! YES, to helping
someone realize their hopes and dreams! YES, to showing
every single, talented “Creative” that they live in the greatest
country in the world, where a vision and
hard
work can transform our lives. Where we can use our God-given
abilities to create something wonderful, share
it
with the world, and earn a decent living doing it.</h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: blue;">USA
USA USA!</span></h2>
<h2 align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0mm;">
Creatively Yours</h2>

In my last post I asked myself whether my daily morning routine was, in fact, a rut in which I was deeply embedded. I also said I would come up with some alternatives to my rather robotic AM procedure.<br />
<br />
So, here's my first one:<br />
Continue with the first few steps, which are necessary (like feeding my cat).Make my mug of tea,<br />
but take it with me as I hop into the car and take a little trip.<br />
<br />
My first morning trip will be to Long Beach Island, a little over an hour's drive.<br />
The drive should be fairly free of traffic, the route will wind through the pinelands of southern New Jersey, where the commercial buildings (like McDonalds, 7-Eleven Stores, and Walmarts) will be left behind. It won't be long before I'll be crossing the bridge over the bay.<br />

I will open the windows a bit (it will still be pretty chilly if I do this soon) so that I can breathe in the salty air, and hear more clearly the call of the seagulls as they hover and swoop for their breakfast in the the briny waves. Maybe I'll see a few small sailing craft braving the early morning temperatures. In minutes I will be on the island.<br />
<br />
I could drive the length of it, seeing what businesses are open or boarded up, still showing the ravages of the terrible Sandy Storm. (Was that 2 years ago already?). There are a lot of year round residents on the islands, but it's typically pretty quiet in the late winter/early spring, especially if<br />
I go on a weekday.<br />
<br />
But what I really want to do is park near the ocean, walk along the beach and watch the waves roll in, take a few pictures.<br />
<br />
Think....pray....dream.... maybe have a little lunch somewhere before I head back home.....AND CREATE SOMETHING AWESOME!!<br />
<br />
Well, now that I've written about it, I can't wait to do it. Thursday is the first day of spring....hmmm...this could be my way to celebrate it. I'm excited!<br />

So which is it? There is
something about our daily routines that assure us in some way, that
our lives are okay, that all is well, that there are things that we
can always rely upon to be constant, when the other parts of our
lives are not.</div>
<br />

keep us away from something that is<em>.....refreshing..</em></h4>

How about you? Do you need to
shake things up a bit in your daily habits? What things? Why?</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0mm; text-decoration: none;">
Are some routines “sacred”?
If so, why?</div>
<br />

For me, I'm going to try some
alternatives to the ho-hum start that is currently my routine.

<u>THIS WEEK'S SUBJECT IS <span style="color: #0b5394;"> SELF-CARE</span></u></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">I actually did not sign up for this subject because I didn't think I had much to say about it.<br />But then I came across this site:</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"> http://www.utdallas.edu/counseling/selfcare/</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"> which was full of great advice; some of it is excerpted from their post. <br />This was really helpful for me because I rarely think about taking "care" of myself, except in the most indulgent and unhealthy ways. ("Go ahead, have that ice cream cone or pizza; another hour of sleep won't hurt"....you know what I mean!)</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>UT Dallas describes self-care as "a way of living that incorporates behavior that helps you to be refreshed and replenished." It is your personal motivator to grow as a person. </b></span></h3>
<h3>

<h3>
The tour will launch the publication of the book "The Declaration of You" this summer. (published by North Light Books) It's all about discovering your true passions and gifts, and what you were meant to do....and giving yourself permission to do it!</h3>

I've joined over 100 creative bloggers in the tour to promote this
exciting new book by MichelleWard and Jessica Swift. Here we are at WEEK
NUMBER 2 of the Tour. I hope you will check out the other
participants. There are lots of great posts! (I hope I will be able to
check out ALL of them too) <br />
<h2>
I am excited about this week's subject: <span style="color: magenta;"> UNIQUITY</span></h2>
<h4>
(Yes, it <b>is</b> a made up word, but you know what it means, right???)</h4>
<h4>
<br />I have some fun art I made to share with you, along with some musings<br />about being unique. Perhaps you don't feel very unique, but I say you are<br />mistaken..... YOU JUST HAVEN'T DISCOVERED YOUR UNIQUITY YET!</h4>

When I saw this week's subject I immediately thought of one of my favorites verses from the Book of Psalms. It is awesome to think that God created each one of us according to His plan. And we are assured that <i>there is no one else like you!</i><br />

<span style="color: purple;">Good Morning all my Art Lovin' Blog Lovin' Friends! </span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: purple;"> </span><span style="color: purple;">I can see that this tour is going to be lots of fun. </span><span style="color: purple;">Maybe I'll even learn more about how to use my blog </span><span style="color: purple;">(Lots of tech-y stuff I still don't understand, but I'm </span><span style="color: purple;">trying!)</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: purple;">Thanks to Gail for your comment.</span><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span><span style="color: purple;">You asked about how I create my art. In most </span><span style="color: purple;">instances I have scanned one of my original </span><span style="color: purple;">paintings/drawings and then altered it on a </span><span style="color: purple;">photo-editing site. I then add the text digitally.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: purple;">This is another process that I have been </span><span style="color: purple;">teaching myself for the last several months.</span><span style="color: purple;">I am starting to be aware (from what I've </span><span style="color: purple;">read) that a lot of the features I employ on</span><span style="color: purple;"> my FREE photo-editing sites are the same </span><span style="color: purple;">features used by Photoshop, so hopefully </span><span style="color: purple;">I am on the right track!</span></h3>

<h3>
<span style="color: purple;">These pictures will give you an idea of the process (and all the possibilities!)</span></h3>

These are about 36" tall and will be attached to dowels.<br />Then I will insert them into clay pots filled with floral foam and spanish moss.<br />I might add some silk ivy to finish them off.</h3>

<div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This week we finally had a few days that actually felt like SPRING! This makes me happy, happy,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">and inspires me to create more art. Yes, I know I should be out in the garden preparing for lots of planting (my favorites- zinnias, cosmos, petunias......oh my!) And I plan to do just that this afternoon.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And on Monday it's back to work getting more art ready for market.</span></div>

<b><u>Trends and Thoughts at the NY International Gift Show</u></b></h2>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div>
This will be my final entry (about time, right?) about my shopping experience at the show.</div>
<div>
As I wrap up my walk through the "Handmade" section, I must say I am on sensory overload</div>
<div>
already.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But here are my impressions of what I noticed: Clothing in beautifully dyed cottons; embroidered,</div>
<div>
bedazzled...The fabulous and unexpected pairings of color and patterns....beaded,fringed, trimmed....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am in love with this "bohemian" look! ( Uh-Oh, my "inner hippie" is starting to show!) Handbags, Hats and other accessories are <b>abundant</b> here. So much fun!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moving on to the rest of the show- seems like miles and miles of booths, all with gorgeous displays of everything gift-related; including tableware, linens, decorative accessories, books, games, jewelry and art.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I saw silk flowers that look so real you have to touch them before you realize you've been fooled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0jgohNjfKa6bC5ywQFACCzD9mQf1E29Ctz7Ku16g8bO4asqJkV5cZhrqKqASACnRyxoTWRn_pJNY3zIhtFIpYrxuXJCLmfAHH7EOoTJx3NplVodWQn-EYjQSNdf0GKCnM2nWnIlL-_VA/s1600/th_calla_lily_flower.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0jgohNjfKa6bC5ywQFACCzD9mQf1E29Ctz7Ku16g8bO4asqJkV5cZhrqKqASACnRyxoTWRn_pJNY3zIhtFIpYrxuXJCLmfAHH7EOoTJx3NplVodWQn-EYjQSNdf0GKCnM2nWnIlL-_VA/s200/th_calla_lily_flower.jpg" title="" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
I especially love the "calla lilies" (latex, I think). A dozen or so thick, long stems with blooms in creamy white, deepening in the center to a pale green.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So elegant, so simple arranged in a glass bowl.</div>
<div>
<i>I never get tired of this look.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
The section with all the paper goods is chock full of amazing patterns and colors. Greeting cards, gift wrap, bags, ribbons and tags are adorned with seasonal themes. Spring and summer are featured, along with Fall and Christmas offerings. It's really cool to see<b> licensed art </b>on some of these products by artists I am familiar with.</div>
<div>
<span style="color: lime;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Here's where my personal interest as an artist/designer comes in: It is my goal to do the same with my designs. In fact, I have been putting together "collections" for the past few months, with the hope of getting the attention of manufacturers. Just think, we see ART on everything from paper plates and napkins to fabrics and wall paper. <i> (and</i> scrapbook paper, cards, gift wrap, vases, wall decor, the list is endless!</span><span style="color: #e06666;">)</span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These discoveries are fun and inspiring, but the main reason I attend this show every year is to see new trends and to find good sources for my<b> Interior Decorating Business. (Designs by Meller).</b></div>
<div>
You might be surprised to see how trends in style or color carry through from personal products and accessories, paper goods, wall art and lighting.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b> What did I learn?</b> The classics are still strong, and the trend toward brighter, fresher colors (orange is big), along with earthy and organic colors prevails. Grunge, Graffiti, Collage and more "simplistic" art continue to fascinate me, and are obviously very popular. Vintage and Retro are still a strong presence. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was pleased to see more small or "Indie" companies, with the owner/designer present at their display. (As opposed to a team of "sales reps").<br />
<br />
<b> I think the artist, even me, has a chance to be part of the gift market, which is very exciting!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<h3>
The plan is to show you more of my designs over the next few weeks, and, I promise, more photos, less rambling.</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Until then, may you have a creative and fun week.<br /> </h3>

<b><u style="background-color: white;">Continuing with my "Adventures" at the NY Intl. Gift Fair</u></b></h2>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">I am now settled in at the "Preferred Buyers" Lounge, where I can hang up my coat, grab a cup of tea, and munch on my croissant. (Almond this morning, Chocolate for tomorrow's treat).</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">And now it's time to browse the seemingly endless aisles, brimming with beautiful displays of almost</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">every type of product that you can imagine that relates to the retail gift industry.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">I begin in the "Handmade in America" section (of course!), and I am totally inspired! It would take many, many pages of writing to give you lots of descriptive details, but here are couple of highlights:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Cute little "onesies", bibs, etc. with the funniest captions on them! They are the creations of</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><b>Sara Kety. </b>and I just LOVE her sense of humor For example:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">"Stop Texting and Change Me!"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">"I am Cranky. Is there anNapp for that?"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">I would love to show you pictures of this adorable line, but they were not available to me.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">I will provide the link, however, so you can see them for yourself. I understand that they</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">are sold at Bloomingdales and Nordstrom. Here is the link to her website: <a href="http://www.sarakety.com/">http://www.sarakety.com/</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I guess I am especially drawn to beautifully designed products that make me smile (or totally</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">crack up!), because Susan's linen towels, wine totes, paper napkins and more have very cool designs that have "graffiti-style" captions and a very vintage look.</span><br />

My photos are not great, but I encourage you to go to her website and see the entire collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.frenchgraffiti.com/">www.frenchgraffiti.com</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Next I am "wowed" by Diana Indgjerd ("Dee"). Her company,<span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIF6kQodRdndu02Efi_8c6K6-uUFYfmdSVYkTJ7Rktg3QuNAy_vzELZmbvRJoNFdb5RTYdnAXsWrNJkzTK13oK7_zLzKs3G8N-Qk4S_LqlFwzKn8OLthZeXwByvOM609m8KLUiDyF3n8c/s1600/in+small+packages+jewelry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIF6kQodRdndu02Efi_8c6K6-uUFYfmdSVYkTJ7Rktg3QuNAy_vzELZmbvRJoNFdb5RTYdnAXsWrNJkzTK13oK7_zLzKs3G8N-Qk4S_LqlFwzKn8OLthZeXwByvOM609m8KLUiDyF3n8c/s1600/in+small+packages+jewelry.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"In Small Packages"</b> is aptly named; she creates tiny little bits of vintage art on mah-jong or "Scrabble" tiles! It's jewelry, of course....miniature art vignettes- birds, text, etc, finished with a resin coating. Sweet!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I spot <b>"Art Bird"</b>. It's tag line, "Outerwear for Your Internet" says it all.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEZkVyy3nqHkdGbmKiLlS8eN8di07hP1YdZjy2df2daSESEqhzJGxjBUWL3FbyXxvaT_zv7_42nM_9Zi9P2ETrTDgDxf5awlont3WR5krJAHNjZ98K4ExcPeLvS2UhST9TZUbw1nLdYBw/s1600/artbirdW.Mermaid.mini_medium.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEZkVyy3nqHkdGbmKiLlS8eN8di07hP1YdZjy2df2daSESEqhzJGxjBUWL3FbyXxvaT_zv7_42nM_9Zi9P2ETrTDgDxf5awlont3WR5krJAHNjZ98K4ExcPeLvS2UhST9TZUbw1nLdYBw/s1600/artbirdW.Mermaid.mini_medium.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">I especially liked the I Pad cover that says "Once upon a time there were books," featuring a </span><span style="font-size: large;">charming mermaid.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Guess you've noticed a trend in picking my favorites; Vintage and Graffiti always</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">beckon me to look a little closer at the unique and original offerings. And if it is humorous, even better. The CEO of this company, Roy Fox, calls himself "Chairman of the Bird", Too funny!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj70dOYFIfS6HDsNGnPyIedIE_kvcAgTHt5VDSCXBxwymJs5PFULSngFj5XEjryt4eZzbOc0m7K1Pvr05U3sKY1x3k03_AzWWdENPvmCdH9Hd6KB_JkVYEIa9qoSupojCnWFECwevdTPPw/s1600/cookieandthedude.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj70dOYFIfS6HDsNGnPyIedIE_kvcAgTHt5VDSCXBxwymJs5PFULSngFj5XEjryt4eZzbOc0m7K1Pvr05U3sKY1x3k03_AzWWdENPvmCdH9Hd6KB_JkVYEIa9qoSupojCnWFECwevdTPPw/s200/cookieandthedude.png" width="145" /></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">Then there's<b> "Cookie and the Dude"</b> (Owner/Designer is Helen Fawcett) She creates turbans, headbands, tissue holders, earrings and more using bright, perky fabrics. Really cute stuff!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had the opportunity to meet a great jewelry artist, Randall Johnson. His collection is called</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Je Suis Fraiche"</b>, and his style is, well, vintage and antique. (surprise, right?) You will also see a "jazz-art-deco" influence, as well as "tribal african" in his work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He uses vintage components, antiqued brass, european beads, natural fibers and cameos to create amazing, one-of-a-kind bracelets and pendants.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSF4zb4LtBV2OQG64tM15-ejuElcd7BZAKjrS87Tts2C186TSJ6bjsPPwGS5hKt0MbGoTaEti26RTe1IWUubSUUXb62EZQp_vCGhSUzCIDGHR7v_2tYiUhzh1mKEMwG5ujOIgSZ1izR1A/s1600/randalljohnsonjewelry41hQmIDhKiL._SL190_CR0,0,190,246_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSF4zb4LtBV2OQG64tM15-ejuElcd7BZAKjrS87Tts2C186TSJ6bjsPPwGS5hKt0MbGoTaEti26RTe1IWUubSUUXb62EZQp_vCGhSUzCIDGHR7v_2tYiUhzh1mKEMwG5ujOIgSZ1izR1A/s320/randalljohnsonjewelry41hQmIDhKiL._SL190_CR0,0,190,246_.jpg" width="248" /></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">At the time of this show Randall did not yet have a website, but he wants to make a blog (which I encouraged him to do). I found some of his work on Amazon.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope that he can take some time as he creates his beautiful jewelry (his studio is tucked away in the Catskill Mountains in New York state) to execute more of an on-line presence.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">IN MY NEXT POST, I will share with you TRENDS I noticed,and how attending this show relates to my own art/design goals.

<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, I had forgotten that I had lots to share with you from the day I spent recently at the NY International Gift Fair. But I just came across my notes, so here goes:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtAEW4tVSJfSqPPn2UhsYKrRz-pWgeSxHPJalI_7ndRQXeMuvnz1hgVzzEWo_TgdM24E_HiaGNjDNv4tbr5klTyyAFWjGHkCAd0JVhuNM_cnBdRGISBAtHpSgnhrUYQd3g25xPgylILDU/s1600/buscommuters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="101" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtAEW4tVSJfSqPPn2UhsYKrRz-pWgeSxHPJalI_7ndRQXeMuvnz1hgVzzEWo_TgdM24E_HiaGNjDNv4tbr5klTyyAFWjGHkCAd0JVhuNM_cnBdRGISBAtHpSgnhrUYQd3g25xPgylILDU/s320/buscommuters.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The bus departs for NYC at 7:45 AM. A little early for me, but it's stress-free. (Never drive into the city on a weekday morning- not fun!) </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUyKMfS6McwW4RyJe3HVxIiPilFeurJS3URoJJCF1ICKra939hWNtWZ2MwngXNpCWwFxos27Cz3i6yX-MNN2z20gmqumvRKmdRrRDwdyo6umeMd2yc_1VGdRwrmHhcRnYAoF4n1pTQ3ok/s1600/croissantsimages.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUyKMfS6McwW4RyJe3HVxIiPilFeurJS3URoJJCF1ICKra939hWNtWZ2MwngXNpCWwFxos27Cz3i6yX-MNN2z20gmqumvRKmdRrRDwdyo6umeMd2yc_1VGdRwrmHhcRnYAoF4n1pTQ3ok/s1600/croissantsimages.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I arrive at the Port Authority terminal, and following my usual routine when I come here, I dash for the "au bon pain" bakery/cafe, because I MUST have a deliciously rich, gooey and calorie-loaded croissant as my mid-morning snack. The only issue on this day is, do I want the chocolate or the almond???</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My decision? Get both. (Not at all sensible, I know, but I only get the opportunity twice a year, so I'm </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">saving one for tomorrow.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Making my way through the crowded streets, I arrive at the hotel where a shuttle bus awaits all those heading to the Jacob Javitz Center. I take care of the appropriate "check-in", and make my way to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">the "preferred buyers lounge", a privilege earned upon attending the show for ten (10) straight years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">BTW, I used to spend three long, tiring days at this show, buying for my retail store(s). Now my purpose is a little bit different; my business is now Interior Decorating, and this show is a great venue </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">for discovering trends in the market. You would be surprised at how a trend in color or style carries through from paper products, linens, and personal accessories, to picture frames, wall art, lighting, even</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">stuffed animals and toys.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So what did I find? Hot pink and turquoise, cute or sophisticated, textures like rustic wood or stone?</span><br />

Today is a very exciting day for me. My new t-shirt project<br />
"I Laughed, I Cried, I Bought the T-Shirt" was just launched<br />
on KICKSTARTER!<br />
<br />
I hope you will take a few minutes and go to the link.<br />
Would love to hear your comments.<br />

And, of course, PLEASE share with your contacts.<br />

After searching for apparel that had unique designs that were <em>pretty</em> and <em>inspirational,</em> I realized that what I was envisioning didn't exist in the marketplace.<br />
<br />
So I began designing my own. They are inspirational, thought-provoking, sometimes amusing....<br />
and PRETTY! And I went a little crazy, which sometimes happens when my creativity goes into high gear. I now have over <strong><em>50 designs! </em></strong>You will be learning more about my t-shirt project in the<br />
very near future, but I have posted a few images as a preview.<br />
<br />
I would love to hear your comments.<br />
