Summer Market Treasure Hunt
By Lorrie Baumann
This summer’s gift and home markets offer a wealth of treasures waiting to be discovered. Dallas Total Home & Gift Market was held in June, so it’ll be over by the time you read this, and coming up next is The Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market, which will be held July 9-15 at AmericasMart, Atlanta, Georgia. Las Vegas Market will be held July 28-August 1 at the World Market Center in Las Vegas, and the NY NOW Home and Lifestyle Collections will be shown August 11-14 at Javits Center in New York City. We’ve done some advance scouting for products that will be coming out at these markets.

Artisan Hand-Loomed Cotton Table Runner
Arcadia Home will be showing its Artisan Hand-Loomed Cotton Table Runner in three colorways: Grey Dots, Gray Block Print and the Indigo that’s shown here.

The runner is 18 inches by 96 inches, and each is handmade with design as unique as the artisan who creates it. The creation of this design involves spinning and weaving hand-dyed cotton using artisan techniques that have been passed down through generations. Hand-sewn kantha stitching is the finishing touch. The craftsmanship involved at each stage of hand-dying, hand-spinning, hand-looming, hand-cutting and hand-sewing ensures that every finished piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
It retails for $135. For more information, visit Arcadia Home at www.arcadiahomeinc.com, call 212.366.1836, email info@arcadiahomeinc.com or see the runners and more in the Arcadia Home showroom on floor C10 at Las Vegas Market.

Cole & Mason Celebrates 100 Years with New Products
Cole & Mason, the iconic British mills and seasoning brand which is part of the DKB Household group, celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2019 with a host of new product development. This includes the launch of the Precision+ grinding mechanism which promises to deliver Cole & Mason’s best pepper grinder ever. Appearing on the new mill collections and rolled out across the Cole & Mason Precision range in the coming months, the enhanced Precision+ mechanism releases more pepper per turn, offers more consistent performance, and has been scientifically tested to release more flavor.
All packaging will carry the new ‘1919-2019’ Cole & Mason logo.
The focus for this season is on Future Classics, using contemporary materials, finishes, shapes, and combinations with timeless silhouettes. The new Precision+ will appear on several new collections for the Spring, each tapping into a different style trend and use of materials like the Antique Nickel-finished tops of the Exford and a contemporary tone struck by the Regent concrete mill.
Exford Nickel Gift Set: This is one of the new designs featuring the Precision+ grinding mechanism. The 6.5” mill combines a multi-faceted clear body and a super-smooth satin finished curved top with a knob for grind size adjustment. The Exford Nickel is sold as a gift set. MSRP: $39.99.
Regent Concrete Gift Set: The ultimate contemporary material, concrete is increasingly finding its way from outside the home to the inside and Cole & Mason has chosen it for a new design this year. Regent (7”) has a smooth concrete base with a protective coating to prevent marks and a stainless-steel grinding band with integral worktop protector. It is available as a gift set and features the new Precision+ carbon steel grinding mechanism. MSRP: $54.99.
