It's (almost) Fall Yall!

It's Fall Yall!

As we sweat through the final weeks of summer heat, most of us are ready to welcome the cooler weather and all that the fall season brings. Nature puts on a beautiful show for the fall season and that beauty has inspired all kinds of decorations and home decor in that same gorgeous fall palette. Seems to me everyone is so eager to start decorating for the fall season and for halloween. Maybe it is our way to welcome one of everyone's favorite seasons, or we're just tired of not having a season to decorate for? Either way it's a great time to get festive and decorate for your home or business.

Your front door is the first impression people have of your home as they enter. You want it to send a welcoming message and there are so many options to spruce it up! Here are two options for your front door:

The first is a floral swag, made simply by combining different floral stems and finishing it off with some beautiful ribbons in multiple colors!
 This wooden pumpkin has a metal hanger and would look great alone or fixed up with a bow for a welcoming door hanger.
And of course a wreath is always a great option for your front door! This wreath was made with one of our 24" work wreath forms and a burlap coffee bag cut into strips. Perfect for fall!
 

When it comes to decorating, we can't let the door get all the credit. The inside of your home can be beautifully decorated for fall by adding a few simple pieces here and there. Your guests will be impressed that you did something a little extra this year, whether they are there for thanksgiving or a football game! We have several great pieces for fall, as well as burlap table covers and runners that could be incorporated into your fall decorations.


Last, but certainly not least is your table. This is one of the few times that some families gather around a table and have a meal together. The table deserves its place and something beautiful to adorn it. This can be as simple as some fabric with a few sitters placed here and there or as fancy as you'd like to make it. Here is an example of a fall arrangement done here at TMI that would make a great accent to any fall table.


 Like the rest of us, you've probably made it through the summer months without much decorating but now is the time to embrace the fall season and bring that beauty into your home. So why not .. it's fall yall! :)

All of the products can be found on our website

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU!


A GREAT BIG THANK YOU!

On Sunday May 19, 2013 TMI Gifts hosted our 2nd design show of the year. We had several businesses in attendance and as always we had a wonderful crowd of folks. We so appreciate everyone who came out and participated in our show. It is always an honor for me to stand and do these demonstrations for people who make their living doing this. Brittany and I had a wonderful time demonstrating different designs and answering questions. Everyone was attentive and gave us some great feedback on everything we did. We demonstrated some new and exciting ways to use our Designer Netting and many of our floral additions. We do have video of many of these designs available for you if you are interested. If you did not attend you missed a great meal as well!
We were also able to introduce a lot of our new products that we have in stock such as our new lines of wreaths and garlands as well as new patterns and colors in our Designer Netting. Everyone also got a little sneak peak at some new burlap that we are introducing into the market. (Make sure to stay tuned for more news on that one!! It will definitely be something that you won’t want to miss!) Some also were able to see some of our new fall and Christmas items for this year.
Once again we say THANK YOU to all who attended and played your part in making Sunday a special day. If you would like to attend a design show here at TMI please feel free to give us a call and we will put your name on the list. Remember that we limit the number of people that we allow to attend so get your name in early!! You never know what you might see from us when you attend!!

Sincerely,

Designer Netting/Mesh


 Mesh/Designer Netting 
 
                DesignerNetting is TMI Gifts version of poly mesh.  Although “mesh” has been a “new” craze in the past couple of years – it has actually been around a long time.  For more than 20 years it has been a well guarded secret in the floral industry.  First introduced as an in-expensive wrapping for flower pots and bouquets.  At first only available in solid colors or very simple stripes and plaids.  This was all there was available when we, TMI Gifts, first came on the scene several years ago. With our first successful dealings with several different manufacturers, we have been able to introduce many new designs, patterns, and color combos that have never been available before.  With a total of 102+ designs, we have been able to help push the “mesh market” in a whole new direction.  With our competitors pushing to get ahead, we have to work harder and get more creative in our designs.   With more than 18 new designs in our 20” netting alone this year we have stepped out there with some amazing color combos.  I feel this is the way we and our customers can stay ahead of the game.  In giving our customers things the “big box” stores don’t offer- it keeps everyone coming back for more.
