Market Favs

I LOVE going to market! I am thankful to have a job that allows me to get to go and see really awesome things & meet neat people! My favorite thing about market (besides buying new items for Antique Brick Outdoors) is seeing all of the displays! The designers for the companies get really creative & it is inspiring to see new and fresh ideas!

I knew that Kalalou had an amazing showroom last July, and they wowed me again this time around as well! They have such a unique mix of home products made of recycled materials!

In the front of their showroom, their designers create large displays made of their botanica. This time it was two ostriches, Ollie and Olivia!

{Everything has a story}

 Kalalou's products come from 9 different countries. The word Kalalou is Creole in origin for a type of soup that is never made the same way twice, much like many of the company’s artisan products. The soup is made in a social environment of family and friends with many stories being told over the chopping of ingredients.

One of my favorite items we will soon be selling at the store...IceMilk Aprons!

 These are AMAZING. The story behind them makes them even better! More to share on these lovelies, soon.

We saw several mannquin dress forms for displays...

In this case maps were used! We also saw some made with the comics section of the newspaper!

Indoor/Outdoor pillows by Liora Manne! The fabrics & designs are so fun! I can't wait to get these in!

What gets us through the early mornings and long days of walking- Starbucks! This was their tip jar ;)

I hope you had a great weekend!
