This winter's Las Vegas Market has a lot to see in the show- rooms and pavilions along with a grand op- portunity to meet The Fabulous Beekman Boys, who are emerging as thoughtful spokes- men for a generation that values fresh, local and seemingly effortless design and cuisine. Also, they're both fun and funny. Known as The Fabulous Beekman Boys are Brent Ridge, physician and former Vice Pres- ident of Healthy Living for Martha Stewart Omnimedia; and his partner, Josh Kilmer-Pur- cell, advertising executive and New York Times bestselling author, The celebrity duo began developing their unique and chic brand strategy when they purchased the historic Beekman 1802 Farm in Sharon Springs, New York, in 2007 and then had to start figuring out (fast) how to pay the mortgage and make new lives for themselves as gentlemen farmers after the national economy took a dive in the Great Recession. The pair launched a line of goat milk cheeses and soaps, and quickly added other artisanal items to the Beekman 1802 brand. The popularity of the brand spawned a reality television show, "The Fab- ulous Beekman Boys," now airing on the Cooking Channel; they also competed and won the grand prize in CBS's "The Amazing Race" in 2012, and their Beekman 1802 prod- uct line of gourmet foods launched in Target stores last November. Celebrities aside, there's much to see this winter at the Las Vegas Market. Here's a small sampling. AvoSeedo is a cute little gadget for the folks who like to save their avocado pits and sprout them for new trees. You remember how to do that by sticking toothpicks into the sides of an avocado pit and balancing the picks on the rim of a glass of water? Well, this is a little boat into which you set your avocado seed and float it in a bowl of water. In a few weeks, the avocado seed germinates and begins to grow. AvoSeedo comes in four different colors: evergreen, transparent, cyan and pink, and in two retail packages, a single pack that retails for $8 and a three-pack that retails for $20.00. For more information, email Daniel Kalliontzis at AvoSeedo LLC: info@avoseedo.com. European Excellency will be showing off a gor- geous line of three-ply paper napkins imprinted with a wide variety of floral, abstract, butterfly, food related, Easter and Christmas designs. The napkins are made in Europe, and only environmentally friendly, water-based paints are used for the designs. Luncheon, cocktail, round and snack sizes are available. For more information, call 949.374.7757 or visit www.europeanexcel- lency.com. See them in Pavilion 1 at the Las Vegas Market. If cloth napkins are a better fit for your cus- tomers, consider the Farm Fresh Stripe Nap- kins from Design Imports (DII). They come in a set of four, and each napkin measures 18 inches square. They're 100 percent cotton, so they can be machine washed in cold water on the gentle cycle, and they go in the dryer on low heat. The set of four retails for $14.99. See them in the Design Imports Showroom in Building C at Las Vegas Market or call 1.800.344.4115 or visit www.designimports.com. Apropos by Home Essentials is debuting the Marble & Mango collection of cheese pad- dles and cutting boards made from marble and mango wood for a new twist on classic design that echoes the design trend that's see- ing more use of marble in kitchens. The 18- inch-long Brown & White Triangle Marble Cutting Board from the collection retails for $35 to $40, while the 20-inch Brown Round Marble Cutting Board retails for $50 to $60. A set of four White Marble 4-inch Square Coasters retails for $15 to 18. For more infor- mation, call Next Step Reps at 760.731.7445 or see them in the Next Step Reps showroom in Building C at the Las Vegas Market. The CTW Home Collection offers a vin- tage-inspired K-cup caddy that'll fit beautifully into the same kitchen that has a Marble & Mango cheese paddle or cutting board hang- ing on the wall. The Roast Coffee K-Cup Caddy is 8-1/2 inches wide, 11-3/4 inches tall and 6 inches deep and re- tails for $45. It's offered without a minimum order. See it in the CTW Home Collection showroom in Building C in the Las Vegas Market or call 1.800.433.5054 or visit ct- whomecollection.com. Top Shelf Glasses is bringing trendy to the table with Double Wall Stemless Wine Glasses. Two pieces of glass are fused together with designs on both glass walls to make glassware that truly makes a statement. They're dishwasher safe and retail for $17.99. See them in Building C at the Las Vegas Mar- ket or find out more by calling 888.808.4001 or visiting www.topshelfglasses.com. A tray has a way of transforming a group of several objects from clutter into a collection, and Brilliant Imports is offering a couple of hand-woven fiber trays from Bali that will lend a subtle note of elegance to just such a table- top collection or a display of spice bottles or utensils on the kitchen counter. The Circle Rattan Tray is 12 inches in diameter and retails for $55. The Ovalate Tray is hand-woven from ate grass and measures 12 inches wide by 15.75 inches long. It retails for $50. To find out more, email Brilliant Imports, LLC at info@ brilliantimports.com, visit www.bril- liantimports.com or see them in Pavilion 1 at the Las Vegas Market. Your food is handmade, so why shouldn't your table linens be? TO THE MARKET offers a nine piece table top set embellished with delicate kantha stitching. Cotton sari is used to make four napkins, four placemats, and one table runner, all with one solid and one patterned side. Designed by TO THE MAR- KET, the set is constructed by Basha, a co-op that employs survivors of human trafficking in Bangladesh. Find out more by calling TO THE MARKET at 859-740-9498 or visiting www.tothemarket.com or the TO THE MAR- KET booth at Las Vegas Market. Honor your veteran with an Official Li- censed Military Board from Totally Bamboo. These serving boards would be fantastic for serving cheese or taking out to the patio for next summer's barbecues, and in between- times, they'll make a gorgeous plaque to hang on the wall of the man cave, dining room or family room. They're 12 inches in diameter and retail for $30. For more information, visit the Next Step Reps show- room at Las Vegas Market or call Totally Bamboo at 760.471.6600 or visit www.totallybamboo.com.
