1.  INTRO

Unfortunately Kelly and I were unable to attend the market in High Point this fall. In several years of attending markets, we have only missed one or two. This is our time to see what the latest and greatest items that will hit the retail market in 6-9 months. This is a great way for us to stay ahead of our industry and find great product to bring to our clients. It also gives us a chance to find new vendors, create and maintain relationships, attend parties, see design friends and be inspired!

Since we couldn’t attend, we decided to lean on our great design friends and vendors to give us a brief rundown of what they saw to be trends and what was happening at market.
