AshleyChildersWe rcently returned from the Americas Mart in Atlanta for the Home and Gift Show and all I can say is — wow what a weekend! I was busy frommorning to midnight every day but it really is any girl’s dream come true as you have the opportunity to see all the latest in design and home trends. Saturday was filled with meetings for our licensed product line but on Friday we scouted new furniture and accessories vendors. I fell in love with everything in Ashley Childer’s booth in High Design. First, let’s start with the incredible yellow and purple malachite wallpaper — I’m already thinking about where I can use this — absolutely obsessed! I loved everything in this booth, the silver and gold accents mixed with great pops of colors.
