What I missed at NY International Gift Fair 2012

I was all set to go to this summer's NYIGF when a last minute obligation came up.  I was a bit bummed as I haven't been to one yet, and I have been wanting to go for years now.  I will shoot again for 2013, and in the meantime, live vicariously from those lucky enough to attend.

Here is some of my favorite coverage and products.

Unsurprisingly, COCOCOZY's booth is a breath of beautiful fresh air...

Beautiful textiles for the home - Maresca Textiles

One of the easiest ways to give your home a freshening up for spring and summer is by changing out soft goods - pillows, throws, linens, etc...  I recently started this in my home, and was lucky to be introduced to Maresca Textiles,  a line by fellow RISD grad Kathryn Maresca.  Based in Savannah, GA, Maresca Textiles are always hand printed or embroidered in the USA, and inspired by the Southern low country.

Check out the aqua beauty I snagged for my sofa this spring.  My walls are a light aqua, and my couch an olive green.  I have always loved olive green and aqua together, and the color is perfect.   I also love the hand drawn, organic pattern - so cool!

Here are a few other favorites of mine that you can get at the Maresca Textiles Shop -

This pillow would also look fab on my couch...

Which is your fav?

Arianna Belle: The Shop

Hey everyone! Aren't you glad it's Friday?? I am...even though I'll still have work to do. I'll be shooting some new Cocoa & Hearts paintings! So keep a look out! On another note...


Aren't throw cushions awesome? 

It's too bad I only have one sofa. If not, a few of these babies would be on them. I'm really liking the selection over at Arianna's shop. For those of you who aren't familiar with her, she's an Interior Designer who also blogs at Arianna Belle Organized Interiors. 

Funny thing is, I already have the #3 cushions in black & white, but I really think #1 would look awesome in my place too! Check out the rest of her cushion collection here. 

Which is your favorite cushion?
