CHA Winter 09 - Sneak Peaks a plenty...

LOVING the new storage from AMM... HERE

It looks similar to the upgrades from Papermania... which are spookily the same chic black and lime as is their messenger bag... so PMA is spot on trend ;) The little drawers are my fav... I can think of lots of ways I would use them (make up being one!) Word on the street is that REALLY USEFUL has downsized, and will be showing off some mini boxes which apparently will make me *swoon*... can't wait!

Did you miss these at CHA Summer?

I *adore* the new Crate Paper... absolutely stunning. The colour palette is always muted enough to be usable without getting TOO grungy. Grunge is definitely a has been trend, and colour is king.

It is nuts how much GOOD stuff you miss at a show, because you are visually overloaded with new at every turn. Not hard to see how consumers are hard pushed to negotiate their way through it all... especially in purse tightening times!

...still, how beautiful are these Hambly prints?

A girl can NEVER have enough storage - and the boys on top of the pile in that regards are Advantus (aka Cropper Hopper.) Always been a firm fav in my book (and my shed attests to it!)

Spotted: Told you the boys are well catered for at CHA this year... with more great lines still to be announced from quite a few of my fav designers ;) Love, love, love Crate Paper.
