Atanta Day 3 Trend Report

Wow. Long day.

After beginning the day at the intensely crowded, almost mob like jewelry cash and carry , we felt tired before lunchtime. We seem to be favorites of several of the vendors, which worked in our favor when it came to waiting in lines of 20 deep women. We left our bins to be shipped and went on to the next vendor.

We found some darling and stylishly cool jewelry to freshen the mix at Black-eyed Susan and we hope you will make the trip to see the new inventory. I'll blog to let you know when it arrives!

We are bringing these oh so comfy and cute pony wraps and headbands in just in time for stocking stuffers and gifts for the hip younger set. Glitter and tie dyed in fresh colors. These were designed by two young girls and they seem to be big business. They will really pop up the jewelry case and your daughter's and grand daughter's cute hairdos!


At the top of jewelry trends are personal monograms. While monograms have always been classic, they are being spotlighted by some of the top national retailers and will soon appear on my jewelry counter as well. Sterling and gold plated monograms for special order will be available or single letters in the most popular letters. Add a drop pearl for a bit more, choose your chain-plain, pearl or crystal embellished, and different lengths. These make an enduring and personal gift for a loved one (or for yourself).

Naturally, at the top of the order was one for me and one for Linda!








These white exotic animal sculptures caught my eye. They continue to trend in high end design and national home decor magazines. Use them with almost all styles in decor as focal points and art. Personally, I love the gazelle.





Another art piece is this driftwood sculpture of a horse. Almost life size and quite dramatic. I am working on a breath taking Bucks County barn home and this might just make the cut.




Navy continued to be the color trend and we found these beautiful pierced ginger jar urns. Pair this color with orange, lime or chrome yellow and you have the wow factor!

We returned back to our room at about 8:30pm...after leaving our room at 8:30 am! Quite a day with just one too quick lunch break to share a sandwich.

Blogging, paperwork and room service of stone cold pizza, and we are ready to call it a day and prepare for tomorrow's appointments.

Here's to a successful third day. See you tomorrow.
