January is a month for digging in and taking time to prepare and look ahead to what we have planned for a brand new year! We kicked it off with an all team meeting in Litchfield, which has set us up for even better customer service and launching a lot of incredible product, my favorite! It even snowed in Litchfield cementing our Currier and Ives vibe as we talked about what our customers want.

The Winter Show designer luncheon is always a favorite time for me to catch up with friends and see the incredible dealers. I took little to no pictures, which is always a sign of a good time. The only two videos I did take were of the dealer, Cove Landing, out of NYC - huge fan. The Winter Show, held at the Park Avenue Armory, is considered America’s premiere art, antiques, and design fair, and features many of the world’s top experts in the fine and decorative arts and trust me, it never disappoints. Sister was a fixture at the show opening night and always did some major shopping with her clients, so I channeled her spirit all day.

As I dig into new prints and colorways, I look back to our heritage, but also forward to what our clients want. The floral guest room in my grandmother's Maine house inspired the new colors for our newest launches - Verbena wallpaper and the Dolly coordinates. I imagine the next generation of little girls loving the floral prints that envelop them and it brings me so much happiness!
