“Amethyst is the new Black”
New York Tabletop Show 2011
41 Madison Avenue
Welcome back bridal bloggers!
We have been very busy here at GEARYS going through all the new product that was introduced 2 weeks ago to our buyers Peter & Wendy at the annual New York Tabletop show at 41 Madison in New York City. Our Senior Buyer, Wendy, and Vice President, Peter, had the privilege of going to view the new merchandise in person and hand selected what we will be bringing into the store.
The New York Tabletop show is the equivalent to “Fashion Week” for luxury dinnerware and giftware. Naturally, it is very important for us to stay fashionable and on top of the current dinnerware and giftware trends. Our buyers attend this show every year, as well as travel the world, to get a sneak peek at the new and exciting merchandise being introduced for the upcoming season!
Wendy was thrilled with the new introductions and noticed a fabulous trend this season… PURPLE! Many different brands have introduced new collections in a variety of shades of purple this year.
Lavender, Amethyst, Plum… PURPLE!
We have already begun ordering this marvelous new burst of colored merchandise and here is a preview of what’s to come!
Lavender:

This new collection was inspired by the luxurious galas held by the French Royal Court of Louis XIV.

Country Amethyst Collection
William Yeoward Crystal introduced a collection of glass giftware and beverage pieces in their Country line in a deep rich amethyst color. This collection has already landed in our store, so feel free to stop in and peruse! This has been such a hot collection for us that it keeps flying off the shelves!
Plum:
Juliska
“Country Estate” Dinnerware & “Colette Plum” Glassware
Juliska introduced a new toile English country life themed dinnerware pattern, “Country Estate” which is designed to mix with their Colette Plum hand pressed glassware. The delicate hues of gray and plum intermingle harmoniously, resulting in a gorgeous table setting.
Purple:

This fresh, feathery dinnerware pattern mixes emerald green and purple with different textures and patterns to create a modern and contemporary splash of color for the table.
