It’s a long day, but its always fun for Renee and I to begin our buying for the year. The Atlanta Gift Show has more than 6 million square feet of showrooms in 4 buildings which are all interconnected by bridges. It is an amazing and daunting show, if you can keep from getting lost. Renee and I are always fighting about how to get from here to there, which isn’t always easy!
Our strategy on the first days is to set our themes for next Christmas. This may seem like an easy task, but as you can see from the following pictures, the possibilities are endless! We thought you’d enjoy seeing some of our options…….The good, bad and downright ugly and we’ve only just begun. There will be more to share as we finish the last 4 floors of Christmas!
In addition to running the store, Cindy oversees the purchasing, marketing and merchandising for Palmer’s, in addition to being involved in the design/redesign of every department in the store. Cindy’s latest ventures include the Gift Basket and Travel/Tour business.
