Inspiration and Pretty Things

For todays post I thought I would share some pictures from last weeks buying trip for Moving Designz Home & Cottage.  We were shopping for Spring and Summer accessories and artwork for the shop.  I've been busy travelling every single weekend and today is the first day I've had a chance to sit down and get some blogging done.

The day before leaving on the trip I purchased a new IPhone.  I absolutely love it... I took all of the pictures from the show with it.  I only wish I had it during the furniture show 2 weeks previous.  And also wish it had a flash.

The show was The Canadian Gift and Tableware.  Held in Toronto Jan 31- Feb 4.

Ashley came to the show with me.  This was her first trip to Toronto.  I could not honestly get all my work done without her and Anitas help on a daily basis.  They both work in the shop full time it only makes sense to bring them with me since they do most of the stocking, merchandising and store sales.  Thank you gals!

One of the first things we saw was this piece of artwork.  In fact, Ashely saw it and immediately said OMG its Chilly.  My dog is famous.  This picture is a dead ringer for my dog, minus the suit, so I had to include this in my post. 

Let's have a look at some of the pretty things we saw... starting with this toss cushion.  It's pretty self explanatory.  On to more things I love... love ... love

More love!!! Is it just me or is this upholstered bench seat amazing?

White... lots of white.  Many of the accessories we saw were white and very sculptural.

Adore doesn't even begin to describe cover how I felt in this suppliers room display... very chic chic.  Loving... it!

This collection of art prints was so striking. 

Pretty pretty flowers, flowers and more flowers in all the booths.

 

The picture does not even do this arrangement justice, at all.  Lovely pink magnolias.

This gorgeous arrangement was in the lobby of the Congress Centre.

How's this for an amazing light fixture?

This sculpture was also in the lobby.  I don't know who the artist is but OMG I love it!!!

Ending off the trip with all the beautiful things I would be remiss if I didn't post this picture.  This car was on display outside of our hotel in downtown Toronto.  Unfortunately it didn't fit in my suitcase or my budget. 

Thanks for reading.  Have a great week!  I know we did :)
