Brands We Love: Platters, Papers, Peace Signs & Poetic Pendants

Chalkboard China loves going to Market in Dallas! First, for the buzzing atmosphere Market creates and secondly, to see the amazing things our beloved friends are creating and designing. Dallas Total Home & Gift market introduced us to these ladies and their loot!

Nora Fleming

Nora Fleming’s exquisite serving platters and adorable minis make every occasion fun. You know we love the idea of endless possibilities when it comes to creativity and with Nora Fleming’s designs, you can be as creative as you want! Our favorite mini? Either the Ice Cream Cone mini or the Ring Box mini, but it’s way too hard to choose. But with the holidays around the corner, we just added a few to our list.

Peru Paper

It’s all in the name! Peru Paper has greeting cards, stationery, and paper designed and handcrafted by Peruvian women using only recycled materials. How inspiring is that? Their work is gorgeous and we immediately fell in love with the heart of the women who started it, and a Dallas connection at that. Best of luck to the line and cheers to making a difference in the lives of others.

Violet Love Headbands

These hippie-inspired headbands are TOO cute! You can choose from zebra print, tie-dye, floral print, solid colors and so many more. Another thing we love about Violet Love, they believe in taking care of our environment, which is part of our philosophy at Chalkboard China with our corrugated materials. Way to go team Violet Love!

Waxing Poetic

Waxing Poetic jewelry, charms, objects, candles, housewares, and general amusements come to all of from Los Olivos, California, by way of designer Patti Pagliei Simpson, her intimate coterie of friends and family (sisters in particular), like-minded artists, dreamers, adventurers, and raconteurs. Waxing Poetic has a great team of girls and we enjoyed meeting them at Portico Collection. We are excited to see them launch greek letters for all those college kids on our Christmas lists, and their wedding collection is amazing.

Thank you Dallas Market for always bringing the best of the best.

Friends, what are some of your favorite finds?
