Spring/Summer 2012

Each January, retail shop owners, interior designers and vendors from around the world come to New York City to the International Gift Show to see... and to show... what is new and exciting for the next season.  Spring and Summer 2012 brings both deep rich shades and lovely pastels.  See Le Jacquard Francais Jacaranda Tangerine and Emprientes  Mother of Pearl.  Mille Birds Sunny by Garnier Thiebaut is a perfect welcome to the new season.  Simply lovely!

We saw  floral prints...large and small patterns.  The "easy care" trend continues with elegant offerings for tablecloths and placemats.  And there was a lot of  discussion about everyone becoming more "green", using cloth napkins instead of paper.

We are thrilled with the new lines that we will be bringing into Tournesol.  We found new table linens, great new gift options and exotic serving pieces.  It promises to be another beautiful season.
