Happy Valentines Day!

Hope everyone's day is full of lots of pink and red!

Haymarket Designs Product Update

We have some exciting new products to introduce to you this year. We've been working on several of them for a few months and the first to share with you is our new line of plates and platters!




These melamine plates and platters come in the original 6 Haymarket patterns AND 9 new designs we just added! Its been fun creating new patterns that keep the look of Haymarket's original hand-painted patterns but are created on the computer. So much more flexibility with color, size and fonts!

Speaking of fonts we are also introducing 5 more monogram choices and 4 new text fonts, plus 5 new background shapes!! So many choices and combinations possible... we can never pick our favorite!

Stay tuned in the next couple of weeks for more new products! And just a little hint of what's to come....one word, LUCITE!

Say you "Shell"

How cute and clever is this "be my bridesmaid" invite?

It's from one of my best friends from college (and her very creative mom). Her name is Mary Ladd and she is getting married in Florida this September so it's very fitting! Being an advertiser I LOVE great "branding" like this, so it of course got my mind thinking of what I will do when I ask my bridesmaids (one day). I turned to my trusty Pinterest to find what a few other brides have done. 

Dress Cookies 

Personalized  Photo Wine Bottles

Paper Doll Chain with all the girls' names. (Love the font!)

Memento Boxes with info about the big day

Wedding Chicks

I may be partial, but I like my friends the best of what I've seen. It's very personalized and now I have a little memento to always remember the occasion. What kind of "be my bridesmaid" invites have y'all received or seen?

And the Big News...Haymarket Designs is in Southern Living!!

That's right! One of Haymarket's trays is featured in Southern Living's Christmas Gift Guide!! I was waiting to get my hands on a copy of the December issue to share the good news, but I've heard from a few friends further South that the issue is already in homes so I can't keep it a secret anymore!

This is has been in the works for months, but I wasn't sure which of the items they requested would be selected (if any). Luckily they picked one of my favorites, the bamboo tray in coral!

I'll post the article when my issue arrives, but here it is featured in their online gift guide! :) 

If you can't tell I'm grinning ear to ear. I LOVE Southern Living and feel so lucky/honored to have Haymarket featured!!

Has anyone seen the December issue yet?
