LA Gift Show Finds

After the Atlanta Gift show I was concerned the LA Gift show the next week would be disappointing afterall, the Atlanta show was four buildings of 12 stories each of endless treasures!
But after attending the LA show for five years I know the vendors with the amazingly fabulous jewlery! And sure enough they didn't disappoint me...
 West coast trends were a bit more exaggerated than the south...

• Wider cuffs than you can imagine! Yes, this is a cuff bracelet, though it looks like gilded amour with crystals (I didn't buy this one)
• Hot Pink and all the shades of pink were every where and flowered pieces. It will be a very feminine spring.

• I did buy these. Coral and lemon quartz 1.5 inch wide cuffs. $75 each.

You know where to find us... look for a web sale coming soon.

2010 Spring Fashion Trends from Atlanta Gift Show

What's hot for spring from Atlanta, the largest gift show in the country?

Huge bracelets! In all fun inexpensive metals, copper, brass and pewter. ($75)

Other new looks for spring:

• Gray, anything in pewter tones.
• Whimsical pieces of huge faux pearls, chains and rhinestones.
• Small picture framed sayings,initals and fun pictures to be attached to keychains, ballchain necklaces and bracelets.($15)

This  was my first trip to the Atlanta gift show and it was truly amazing! Everyone seemed shocked that there was such a huge turnout, not only new vendors but tons of wholesale buyers from all over the world. And everyone was buying! It was such a shot in the arm for the economic slump.

My novice impressions were as follow:
1. We have become global comsumers. Silver from Bali, pearls from China, gemstones from Brazil, and funky, bizarre feather and shell jewlery from Fance (I bought a bunch of these of course)
2. Many of the vendors were small family owned businesses, not big corporations. So I met some wonderful innovative people. Call me if you want to hear some great stories!
3. This show is huge! They had everything from life-like Halloween monsters to giant handblown glass chandeliers to a hundred strand pearl necklace.
4. My mink and leather vest was perfect for the sub-zero weather!
