Zoeller explained, "If I couldn't use the product or couldn't think of anyone I would want to give the product to, then I felt it wasn't worth developing." Abbey Press began offering sculp- ture pieces – figurines, wall hangings and décor items – in the early 70s. The com- pany's in-house Sculpture Shop built original molds from artist-supplied designs and cast and finished each piece by hand. This process continued until 1995, when production outgrew the shop's limited space and was outsourced to larger manufacturers. Though production methods have changed throughout Abbey Press' 50-year history, the company's original vision – to help consumers recognize and celebrate seasons and everyday occasions in a special, spiri- tual way – is still evident in the com- pany's line of products. The catalog offers a wide variety of cards, publica- tions, gifts and décor. Sue Kloeck, Director of Trade Abbey Press ( Cont'd. from p. 1) Marketing, said, "Any company that's done business for five decades knows change is inevitable. However, we've been fortunate that our core concept of providing gifts that enhance faith and share inspiration is still the focus of our ministry today." Anniversary celebrations will occur throughout 2014 and will include special offers at January gift shows, a six-day "open house" for customers at Saint Meinrad Archabbey in April, and the introduction of 11 new products inspired by bestselling Abbey Press products from past decades. Abbey Press, which is owned and operated by Saint Meinrad Archabbey, is a wholesale marketer of inspirational and religious products that help consumers celebrate seasons and everyday occa- sions in a special, spiritual way.

PANTONE 18-3224 RADIANT ORCHID IS COLOR OF THE YEAR Pantone, an X-Rite company and the global color authority, recently announced PANTONE ® 18-3224 Radiant Orchid, a captivating, magical, enigmatic purple, as the color of the year for 2014. "While the 2013 color of the year, PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald, served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperi- ty, Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination," said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute ® . "An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today's society. "An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivat- ing purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm." Radiant Orchid for Fashion Radiant Orchid's rosy undertones radiate on the skin, producing a healthy glow when worn by both men and women. A dazzling attention-getter, Radiant Orchid permeated the runways during the spring 2014 fashion shows and is already mak- ing its way onto the red carpet. Fashion designers featured in the PANTONE Fashion Color Report Spring 2014, including Emerson by Jackie Fraser- Swan, Juicy Couture and Yoana Baraschi, are incorporating Radiant Orchid into their spring collections and variations of this hue will carry into men's and women's clothing and acces- sories throughout next year. Radiant Orchid for Beauty A modern and surprisingly versatile shade, Radiant Orchid enlivens the skin, making all who wear it feel more healthy and energetic. Blending both cool and warm undertones, purple is an appealing hue for distinctive combinations and flat- tering to many hair, eye and skin tones. This multi-faceted hue is seductive when combined with red and pairs well with its sister shades of lavender, purple and pink, which provides an assortment of lipstick and blush options. Radiant Orchid's exuberance also acts as a bril- liant finishing touch to nails. Radiant Orchid for Interiors Spruce up interior spaces by incorporat- ing this eye-catching hue in paint, accent pieces and accessories. As adapt- able as it is beautiful, Radiant Orchid complements olive and deeper hunter greens, and offers a gorgeous combina- tion when paired with turquoise, teal and even light yellows. Likewise, the vibrant color is sure to liven up neutrals including gray, beige and taupe. Uplifting and bold without being overpowering, Radiant Orchid reenergizes almost any color palette and provides a unifying element for diverse spaces.

GRILL-CLEANING ROBOT READY TO LAUNCH Let 2014 be known as the year of the grill, with the help of the Grillbot. This little device is the answer to all those cleaning woes that crop up after enjoying the tantalizing taste of barbecued meat and veggies. Tidying up is as simple as placing it on the grill, pressing the button, and letting it scrub away with its mighty trio of washable and replaceable brushes. Each robot houses three powerful electric motors and a smart computer brain that regulates its speed and direction. To use, simply place it on the grill, press the but- ton, and then sit back and relax while it takes care of business. Built to last, Grillbot can work on gas or charcoal grills and is avail- able with brass or stainless steel bris- tles. A built-in LCD alarm and timer are added safety guar- antees that sound if the grill is left on or when its cycle is done. When its job is finished, it can be kept alongside the grill in its special hanging storage case. Ethan Woods created the Grillbot with the intention of simplifying the lives of others so they can have more time to enjoy friends, family, and–of course–food. It's the perfect tool for the lazy chef, neat freak, or pro- fessional restaurateur, and was the star cleaner at the 2013 World Food Championships.
