O C G S h o w D a i l y 7 M o n d a y, A u g u s t 1 9 , 2 0 1 3 DEKORASYON GIFTS & DÉCOR, WITH A NEW & IMPROVED WEBSITE By Margie Adrada, Director, Sales & Marketing Dekorasyon Gifts & Décor was founded in 2003 and has enjoyed success in retail market sales of high quality, innovative and unique home décor items and acces- sories. Our initial collection was holiday themed: a beautiful assortment of holiday topiary trees and ornaments. This was an immediate best seller, and it continues to be one of our most popular collections. Our holiday collection was designed to complement any decor or merchandising theme and story. We have added new products to this collection each year, so our customers are assured of a delightful selection of current trends in style, color, and patterns that are guaranteed to please even the most discriminating customer. Since our holiday collection was such a huge success, we decided to expand our product line into home décor accessories in 2008. Our home décor products are crafted from all-natural materials indigenous to the Philippines, such as gleam- ing, pearlescent Capiz shell and fragrant Acacia wood, as well as reclaimed wood. This year has marked an exciting milestone for our company. We have launched a brand new and improved website that affords you a convenient way to check out our products (including the price and description of each), add selections to your shopping cart, and zoom in on images for a closer look. Please visit us at www.dekorasyongifts.com to find out more. Here at Dekorasyon Gifts & Decor, we understand that our customers are the lifeblood of our business, and we strive continually to build on our already strong repeat customer base by providing excellent service and quality products.

HIBE LLC DELIVERS COMFORT TO HOSPITAL PATIENTS The Hibe Comforting Soft Body Wrap is a patented design owned by Hibe LLC, a Connecticut based, women-owned com- pany. Launched in November of 2011, the patented Hibe® Comforting Soft Body Wrap is a full-length body wrap that combines cozy comfort with free- dom of movement. Hibe is for women who want to be warm, comfortable, and presentable while still being able to walk freely. The Hibe body wrap converts to a blanket with a quick unfasten of the side zipper and shoulders. The matching trav- el bag lets you take your comfort with you. The Hibe body wrap is a favorite for those who work from home, college students, dancers between performanc- es, and skiers after a cold day on the ski slopes. Because of its unique design, the Hibe wrap makes a particularly thought- ful gift for new moms and those under- going medical treatments, as the Velcro® shoulders and zip side open to allow easy access when needed, while keeping patients warm and comfortable. When the company heard of this use by one of its first customers, it donated product to the Whittingham Cancer Center at the Norwalk Hospital, Norwalk Conn. and Homes for the Brave™ Female Solders Forgotten Heroes, as well as other local not-for- profit organizations. The Hibe body wrap is super soft and made with an exclusive three-layer fabric called DupraSoft® that is specifi- cally engineered by Hibe. The outer layer of silky and lightweight 100 percent microfiber is fused together with both a plush polyfill middle and the premium, super-soft fleece core. DupraSoft is easy- care, machine washable, and lightweight. "We branded it 'Hibe' because it's so comfortable you could tuck your arms and feet in and hibernate in it, but at the same time it lets you move freely and safely so you do all the things you need to do when you get home at the end of the day. You can be cozy and yet still look put together," says Beth Sprole, President of Hibe LLC. The Hibe body wrap is available in three adult sizes based on height: small, medium, and large. The 2013/14 Earth & Sky Collection is available in two color- ways: Twilight and Flaxen. The company is also expanding its product offerings. At this year's NY NOW show, Hibe LLC will be introduc- ing the new Hibe Comforting Vest. Stop by booth 13029 at Pier 94, NY NOW NEW!, formerly New York's Newest, for more details.

AMERY CARRIERE DESIGNS: ROMANTIC JEWELRY WITH AN EDGE By Amery Carriere, Owner and Designer at Amery Carriere Designs I'm really excited to be sharing my new collections with NY Now's buyers this summer. These past two years have real- ly been inspiring, living part-time in New Zealand. There's so much nature, so much growth, and so much beauty every- where you turn. It's impossible to not be inspired to create new things when you're surrounded by amazing scenery. I was working at my bench very late one night, playing with some new designs, and started drawing these really cool antler shapes. Sometimes when the muse calls to you, you have to follow. So, wanting to see where this would take me, I started carving. But, my antlers ending up looking more like coral; considering all the diving we do, it makes perfect sense. I tried to bring them back to that iconic pointy antler shape, but the more I worked, the more they looked like coral. Then it dawned on me, there's a coral we see diving in Hawaii called "Antler Coral." And thus, a new collection was born! Also from the bench is a brand new seahorse. He's been a work in progress for over a year. Sometimes it takes me that long to really get a design how I want it, but now that he's done, I'm very excited for his big debut. Since I've been asked for a tree pendant for ages, I've finally finished one. It has a slight yogi twist to it: "Prana" is inscribed on the back, which is the Sanskrit word for "life force." Speaking of Yoga, I have a new tiny "OM" and am trying to wrap up my new Namaste pendant before the show. I predict a few more late night carving sessions in my future! I'm expanding on some of the older collections that have done well, like the Goddess and the Moroccan window, but needed a little twist to make them more current. I've decided to add some brio- lettes in my favorite stones: labradorite, moonstone, and of course, rose quartz! I've also made some larger rings out of these familiar shapes; I feel the days of the big statement rings are coming back. I've also added to the Chrysalis collection quite a bit. I've become enamored with it all over again, as it transforms more from a butterfly wing to coral. Fitting for the name, don't you think? In the works are a brand new bangle and cuff, as well as longer earrings. I was been wear- ing the Chrysalis earrings around for about a year and never want to take them off. But, then I decided that I need- ed something with a little more flash for evening wear. Something a little longer, with more movement and mixed metals – something magically sparkly. You'll have to visit us at NY Now to see more! For more information, visit Amery and Carlie in booth #9571 in the Handmade section of the show or visit online at www.amerycarriere.com. MADISONS INC. ENTERS RUG MARKET WITH UNIQUE HIDE AND SARI SILKS DESIGNS Madisons Inc. is the newest company to enter the rug market with a unique niche rug line of magnificent hide rugs and sari silks. Madisons was started by Madi Ferencz and Peter de Voogd, a mother- and-son team of veteran entrepreneurs who set out to find the exceptional, the distinctive, and the beautiful – all decora- tive products that would be desirable in any home and offered at great prices. Madi and Peter are building on their suc- cess after they were amongst the first to introduce ethanol fireplaces in the US with their very successful and popular Anywhere Fireplace ® line. (www.any- wherefireplace.com) While the rug market is large and daunting for new players, Madi and Peter saw an opportunity to introduce uniquely new looks with the hair-on-hide rugs. Hide rugs are the latest rage in floor covering. Madisons Inc. has enjoyed such a positive response to their new rug lines that it is certain that the rug lines will be as big a hit as their ethanol fireplace line. "You just know it will be a big hit when people are standing in line at your show booth to take a look and when our first customers place several orders within the first weeks of introduction," says Peter de Voogd, CEO of Madisons Inc. Madi Ferencz adds: "One must see it to believe it. It's amazing what can be done with cow hides. The luxurious tex- ture and colors of genuine hair-on-hides are transformed by expert artists and arti- sans into spectacular, distinctive rugs with exquisite patterns and color combi- nations. Most of the line is made of col- ors of natural hides, but after the hides are dyed and treated with various artisan techniques, they become something total- ly splendid. Each rug is totally unique and adds a natural, rich and colorful, mod- ern element that will [dress] any space." In addition to the hide rugs, Peter and Madi, while visiting India, were also enchanted by the exotic beautiful Indian sari silk rugs, woven from remnants from those magnificent, vividly colored sari silk fabrics. Each rug is hand-knotted into a hand-crafted piece of art made by highly skilled artisans to create a unique one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly masterpiece. Says Peter, "You have to see it for your- self, because even the best photos just cannot do them justice."
