We just came back from the Atlanta Gift Market! What a fun trip! My daughter and her husband moved to Atlanta in July so it was definitely a “business mixed with pleasure” trip! I’ve been attending the Atlanta Market for the last eight years with friends or coworkers, but this is the first time my daughter and husband have gone with me.
We stayed in their beautiful new home and commuted in. It worked out just great.
We had a blast at the market too! It was so fun showing them around my favorite market. It was great to have their fresh eyes and opinions as we looked for great new products. I always come back from the market feeling so inspired, ready to tear it up! Just wait till you see our 2009 offerings! It’s going to be a great year!
We even managed to squeeze in some fun this year and visited the Coke Museum. Here we are in our 3D glasses!
Sounds like a wonderful trip! Hope you have a great week.

Hi Eileen, Your daughters house looks amazing! Great to hear about Atlanta, I have never been there. Went to the Los Angeles show this last weekend and it was very sad. The LA show is getting smaller for every year and the crowd was so small this time around, many vendors does not show here anymore....
