Hello again! More to share from the magical #BlogTourNYC!! On our very first full day, Wednesday, March 19th, in New York, we visited the flower district (which is here in Part I) and then we enjoyed learning flower design from New York's best, Tess Casey.  The above poster hangs in her studio, among many other movie and life memorabilia. Thomas Hardy wrote the beautiful, but tragic story, of Tess and then it was adapted many times in theatre and film.

 Well, it's that time of year again - High Point Market in North Carolina,(#hpmkt)  THE largest furniture market in the U.S. -  kicks off this weekend from Saturday, April 5th - 10th.  There will be an incredible amount of fabulous new design from top brands and smaller ones with the famous Style Spotters (10 designers hand-selected by #hpmkt) sharing all their finds.  Plus all my Twitter friends are going to be there, as well as two designers that I've grown to admire very much.

One of the highlights for me and Deborah Main Designs at the #SneakPeek at Dallas Market in January (Yup, I still have a couple more posts of inspiration from just that one single day!) was having the opportunity to meet and hear Thomas O'Brien speak. Not having a background in design, I honestly didn't know who he was. I really enjoyed hearing him speak, seeing his slide show, and learning about his NYC store. Since going to Dallas was my first time attending market as a blogger, I was very keen on learning more and listening to what he had to say. I was definitely intrigued!
