New catalog, new video, new blog look... yippee!



Well, you may not have received it yet, but it is out there... the new TRACY PORTER catalog! I gave you some bits and pieces last time around, and thought I would share some more! We did a cool behind the scenes video of our shoot... check it out... you can see many of the photos in the making. The lovely chaos that happens... it's all quite magical... a bit of theater... and really quite a lot of fun. We wanted you to be there, so this is what we came up with!! We will continue to share our videos with you as we shoot... and we will be video pod casting soon... Little by little, you'll feel like you are designing everything with us! Also... we are adding a few new goods to the blog... Some of it a re-organize, if you will... some of it totally new... We'd love you to hang out with us and wander about... Please share us with your friends! And of course, let us know what you think!!! You know I am in here with you... I try to answer as soon as I can, sometimes I am traveling and it takes me longer. Our team will jump in now and again as you have seen... they too are a vocal bunch! I will always be honest, and direct... I hope you are inspired... and you must know... I LOVE all the chitter chatter we have going on... really, what a treat! You are so good to spend the time with us!

Okay... I know you will ask, and a few of you have already... so I will give you my favorite notes about the new catalog...

* The BEDDING... because we have always wanted to design our own that can be found nowhere else... TRACY PORTER BEDDING!!!! It's good to have a vision!!! I love each of the patterns for very different reasons... I am so curious, which one do you like? (I will give you my thoughts in the coming weeks...)

* Great FASHIONitems... I am all for collecting as you go... in my closet and my home (you have heard this from me a million times). It's just easier this way! And these new coats, shoes, shirts... all fit that bill! They are timeless and unique... easy to wear... easy to mix in. I just gave my sister (yes, the gorgeous brunette in our catalog) the PARIS STREET leopard shoes for her birthday... she loves them! Maybe she'll jump in here and blog with us... Robyn, are you there??

* Our FURNITURE... what an extraordinary journey it has been to design these pieces! To create rooms around them... to show them in environments to inspire you... Check out our room scenes, these are all shot in our house... I find it's the best way to give you who we really are. This furniture was designed to fit into many kinds of rooms... it is classic with many wonderful details and interesting layers... I love antiques, and find that these pieces work well in our home.

* New DINNERWARE... scrumptious patterns! Again, these cannot be found anywhere else but on tracyporter.com and in our catalog. In the next few weeks I will get into some of those patterns more, so you can learn how and where we are inspired...

* JEWELRY... it seems to me that you like very unique goodies (this is why we get along so very well)! So I have been on the prowl... literally finding the most amazing pieces for you... They are spectacular when layered, as you can see... I adore things that mix well... I love necklaces on top of necklaces... jewelry that feels like you won't find it everywhere... pieces that give you the sense like you've owned them forever... that have a soul.

* mouth-watering CHANDELIERS and sconces.... lamps... oh, just lots of golden, aged beauties. You know it's another obsession of mine... ever trying to squeeze another one into our home...

What do you love??? Let me know... I am SOOOO curious!!!

xoxo,
Tracy
