Atlanta Gift Show - Jan '16

The Jacaranda Living team had a record breaking trade show this week! 

It was a lot of hard work but thrilled with the results. Thank you to everyone who came by our booth. It was such fun to see pretty familiar faces come to visit us and also was so nice meeting new friends. Cannot wait to be back in summer!

Keep Cozy with Slippers

I had a very relaxing holiday and happy new year with lots of baking, reading, and time with family and friends. That's what holidays are all about - time to reflect and unwind.

My favorite thing to do at home over the holidays? Getting cozy! Especially getting cozy with my warm, snug Jacaranda Living Ginger Jar slippers. Candles are important too, and of course having my pretty tissue box cover with the Bee Wreath on my mantel for emergency use :). The tissue box matches my bee wreath curtains and light blue duvet covers, and I just love them together. It makes my whole room brighten up and I love melting into this tranquil doze with light blue all around me and a glowing candle. Soft music playing in the background, the smell of warm vanilla, and Jacaranda Living slippers to keep my feet warm. Getting cozy after stressful days/weeks at work is so important for the human mind. It is especially comforting during the months of December and January - when the weather is so frigid and it gets so dark so quickly!
I feel I am the master of coze and couldn't imagine feeling as relaxed as I did over the holidays without my Jacaranda Living pajamas, slippers and tissue box covers. Check all the styles out at Jacarandaliving.com.

Have any new year resolutions? How about remembering to RELAX and keep WARM in some Jacaranda Living slippers. :)

NYNow Gift Show

Hello Customers and Friends,

It was a pleasure to see so many returning and new customers at the NY Now Gift Show last week. Thanks for finding  us in our new upstairs booth location.

For those of you who didn’t attend (and for those who did too) I thought you’d like to hear our take on it in a few brief points.

1.  Aisles were busy, attendance appeared to be strong. Mixed reactions from vendors and buyers on the new booth locations – interspersing Textiles with Home Furnishings? It might take some getting used to.
2. Growth in demand for cotton sleepwear – all 4 of our new designs were winners. J
3. Trend to monochromatic tones shown in many booths. Our new cream Holiday Wreath on a Natural Linen was a knockout!
4. Buyers still enjoy the benefits of touching and feeling – whether at a trade show or in a retail store.
5. The January 2014 NY Now show will be interesting. Superbowl meets Gift Buying. Make your plans now!

I’d love to hear from you – please contact us if you need anything or have any questions. Please like us on Facebook too – we will do the same for you.

Happy back to school season!

Jacaranda Living's Trip to the Atlanta Gift Show at the AmericasMart!

What an adorable display. The You Are My Sunshine pillow was one of our most popular items this show, along with our linen guest towels in the top right corner!

The lingerie bag hanging below our guest towels were our newest products this show. They are great to take with you when traveling for lingerie items, boxers for men, and other small clothing items.

Our waffle weave guest towels and slippers are embroidered in South Africa and were a great success at the AmericasMart this year. Find more images on our website. Monogramming is available on linen or waffle weave towels, cosmetic bags and slippers as well.

This was a special show. The working girls in their booth.

Our Cheerful Sunshine Pillows

You Are My Sunshine Pillow:

We just love our Sunshine Pillows because of the story behind the product. The pillows are made by a group of women living on a farm in our mother country, South Africa. These women have learned their skills to crochet, embroider and applique to create this naive art on linen using their own creativity. Many of these women are the sole breadwinners of large extended families, and have to care for nieces, nephews and grandchildren in the absence of parents who have died from AIDS. They are paid a fair wage and work in a pleasant working environment.
By using natural, non-dyed linen and factory remnants as far as possible, they are able to reduce the carbon footprint in the creation of each item.

I appreciate their beautiful work so much and love having the cheerful pillow in our living room. The women use remnants of yarns and fabric pieces to create this smiling sun and happy words on linen. I hope you enjoy the pillow as much as we do. :)

Collection Name: Living Life
