Three great items that made J's Top Ten Picks. Isn't the snowman cute in his jammies?

An icy-looking wreath, a great polka dot ornament display and more Top Ten Picks.

J stops to make a point during the tour. Chocolate Brown is now being paired with Chartruese Green as seen in this display.

J reviews the Top Ten Picks for this soap box talk. Halloween was also on the soap box agenda - what a great folk-art find!

Another great display - blues and teals are still around. Beautiful vases from IMAX.

More great containers from IMAX. A line of dishware called the Love Collection came in many fun color combinations.

Global Views never disappoints as a leader of the new trends and displays

J also gave demonstrations in the FloraCraft Booth - made from one of the products they sell - Styrofoam! At right is the Styrofoam Christmas tree J created.

J demonstrated the new Artesia Designer Dome form FloraCraft, by creating only half of this arrangement.
