People We Admire: Rawlins Gilliland

Fans cheer “Rah! Rah! Rawlins!” for Dallas writer and Dallas Market Center tour guide, Rawlins Gilliland. And guess what? We’re cheering right along with them! If you’ve ever been to Dallas Market Center for Market, then you must know about the Discovery Tour with Mr. Rawlins Gilliland.

The vivacious retail consultant and “always entertaining” author (Sometimes even compared to Forrest Gump!) has a strong, instantly likeable personality as well as impeccable taste. Rawlins is a former Sales Director for Neiman Marcus and has contributed his written work to KERA, Pegasus News, Dallas Morning News and more.

This year at the Total Home & Gift Market in January, Rawlins featured Chalkboard China on his Discovery Tour, recommending his favorite pieces and exactly how he would use Chalkboard China for different occasions. It was an honor to be included on his tour and we were flattered that he chose Chalkboard China to be one of his stops. We couldn’t say thank you enough!

You can read some of this Dallas treasure’s work in D Magazine and see him in action as the Gift and Home Channel follows Rawlins on one of his famous tours. You can also become a fan of Mr. Gilliland on Facebook.
