I was invited to tour their showroom, learn about all their different gift items, create an Ultimate Gift and take a Sneak Peek of their Fall Line for 2011. It was an afternoon of fun and excitement since I love all things cute and girly.

At the presentation I met CEO, Marcia Miller who founded the company. She spoke on how she worked her way up in several companies and was pretty good at selling. She then decided to launch her own business MudPie that is now known all over the world. The name came from making ceramics that were painted brown to resemble clay. Miller said she wanted to control her own destiny and started her company with 20 faux terracotta products. The line took off and was often oversold.

I’m loving this awh!

Today MudPie has a baby line that is their number seller, Tabletop gifts that include napkins, bottle toppers, hostess gifts and yes Fashion! In the showroom we saw the latest collections of soo many fabulous things. I headed right for the pink section which had aprons, tumblers,hats, beachwear and so much more. After viewing the showroom we played a game where we had to create the Ultimate Gift. My scenario was to buy a gift for a retiring school teacher. My budget was $100 and I got to thinking fast.

My Ulitmate Gift Idea

I came up with a coastal inspired designed platter, matching serving dish and beach napkins inside of a coral carry tote. My inspiration was that the school teacher could take a long vacation lol. We also got a sneak peek of the items for fall that were very nice. We saw the Angel Baby Collection, Bag Lady,Holliberrie,North Pole, Peace,Love,Joy Collection, Santa Baby,Tis the Season and Love n Veggies. All of them were fun to touch and feel and give feedback on.

I didn’t get to see that many Celebs come in the gifting suite because I had to get ready for the Soul Train Awards red carpet but I’m sure it went very well. I did see Genuine coming in, as I was leaving out. Check out pics below of the wonderful vendors.

snowprincess2 Bittersweet Designs

It was last summer when I was down at the Mart in Atlanta when I went pass this gorgeous booth. It was very Shabby Chic, which is my all time fav room design. The booth was called, Bittersweet Designs. It had a very warm,whimsical, coastal,beachy kinda feel to it. I introduced myself to this pretty lady, turns out she was Laurie Lenfestey the owner and designer of the many things in the booth! We talked briefly and she showed me some of her items. Her things were so pretty, dainty, and fun looking.  She makes very pretty necklaces,photo albums,rings jus to name a few things. Laurie has been featured in numerous magazines and even JLo wore her earrings on the cover of People Magazine! I feel like a very special princess, since I have my very own now! I was down at the mart again two weeks ago and ran into Laurie. I found out that she won the best booth last summer, so I had to congratulate her! She knew that I had fallen in love with this pink necklace called,” Snow Princess”,  so she told me to pick one out! I also love how she puts her family in her pics. Too adorable. At the top is a pic of the necklace, Im in princess heaven now lol but please stop by her page and check out other things she has, her website is superb! Please visit: www.bittersweetdesign.com
