NYIGF: Take a Number

One of the other big themes I noticed while I was touring the New York International Gift Fair were numbers.  They were printed on everything from pillows to storage boxes.  I thought they looked really fresh and fun.  Another popular item I noticed that you can see in some of these examples are wire baskets and storage items in every possible size and shape.  Enjoy!

These boxes and the pillows above are from Vagabond Vintage, one of my favorite booths.  You can find their items available at Mothology.

NYIGF: Crowning Glories

I saw a cute crown that Jenna Lyons had in her office and since then I've been thinking about them as a decorative accent.  I was happy to then see them in many booths at the New York International Gift Fair yesterday. I think I may definitely have to buy one of the gorgeous versions from Vagabond Vintage above.  Luckily, they told me that Mothology carries much of their pieces for those of you who can't buy to the trade or as a designer. 

Peacock Park also has many crown styles.

I loved the crown napkins (above and below) at Dransfield & Ross.  And the Greek Key of course!

NYIGF: March of the Elephants

It seemed like animals of all types were on parade at this New York International Gift Fair but none were more prominent than elephants. I especially loved the cute ones at Waylande Gregory above. 

 

The circus elephants at Design Legacy were adorable!

I think this is a napkin ring at Dransfield & Ross.

An elephant creamer also at Two's Company.

Cute elephant print napkins and placemats from Simrin.

Yes, there is an elephant in that pack of pillows from Areaware.

The elephant takes center stage at John Derian.

Kids would definitely want to put their toys away in these elephant storage bins from 3 Sprouts!

NYIGF: Horsing Around

Horses seemed to be a theme at the New York International Gift Fair this year.  I kept seeing them and mostly in the booths that had a vintage feel.  The handsome horse above is from Bliss Studio.

NYIGF: Two's Company Equestrian Theme

The Two's Company booth at the New York International Gift Fair is always crowded but worth braving for the fabulous styling.  Since I recently posted about Equestrian Chic, I absolutely loved their equestrian themed accessories!  If you can't find the vintage versions, it's nice to know you can get the same look at Two's Company!  Enjoy!

NYIGF: Jonathan Adler

Since the Jonathan Adler booth is the first one that greets me as I tour the Accent on Design section of the New York International Gift Fair, I figured it would be a good place to start my coverage.  They have a lot of new pillows, games and tableware that will definitely make you smile. It's all what Jonathan likes to describe as "chic and cheeky."  Enjoy!
