Best New Product Award!

I'm still unpacking from the NYIGF and ran across an award that our Dreamfit™ quilted sheet sets won! We were in the top three finalist for the Best New Product Awards with the Tencel fiber quilted sheets. These are the most amazing sheets and the only sheets I will ever use. There are two patented components in the design of these wonderfully soft, Eco friendly and beautiful sets. The first one being the technology that keeps the fitted sheet securely on any size of mattress and the other being the unique quilted decorative top sheet with the smooth flat sheet underneath.

I also wanted to thank my very good friend Denise Copp, for making us some of her fabulous custom trays! She will customize any shape, design/color combinations to suit your taste. We had her make us one with our own universal monogram on it and another for fun - Hotel le Papillon!

I was also thrilled to have my own "Papillon" french notebooks on hand to use as journals for business cards and notes on new customers. These are amoung literally thousands of great products from The Laughing Elephant, check them out!

Las Vegas Market

Designers, designers and more designers! Thank goodness for them. I think they and my regular brick & mortar stores that haven't seemed to be hit by the economy will be my biggest customers this year. I am so glad I started over a year ago setting up for a more customized business with not a lot of overhead and inventory. I am still selling off the remnants of my Indian stock, but we are getting down to the end of that. I am far happier with custom orders and my customers are, too.

I am thrilled to be bringing in some new products to offer that complete and compliment my existing line. Welcome the famous Dreamfit® sheets! They are the best product innovation with the special patented features that will keep them firmly on ANY size mattress. Not to mention they are made in the USA and they are simply dreamy to sleep on. I will be offering the 400tc up to 1020tc in the finest cotton of all Supima® cotton. Their latest innovation presented at market are - their quilted top sheets and pillow cases that are sold of course with their fitted sheets that are guaranteed to never bunch up or come off. Stay tuned for more information on these divine products and take a look at the fabulous way they add texture to my beds from the show.

I was so happy to share a booth with my long time friend and colleague from 1993 - Denise Copp. She has been an inspiration to me and to so many personally, and as an artist. She has reinvented herself many times to keep ahead of the trends (and because everyone knocks her ideas off;-), all of the beautiful hand painted items in my booth are made by her and you can visit her e-store at http://www.hungonwords.com/.
