I recently visited the
Vancouver Gift Show
99 to get a feel for
what the retailers are
purchasing from the
wholesalers for the
Home and Garden this
fail season.

If you're looking for
some ideas for fall you may
want to consider the follow-
ing “
nic giftware i is in!
Roh fountains, beaded jew-
elry, and wrought iron can-
die holders are everywhere.

Simple rounded stones
transformed into tea-light
_: candle holders are priced

“ quite reasonably.
- -” Pewter is back and
‘stronger than ever. We
should see a lot of pewter
‘picture frames in all sizes
“and shapes on retailers’
shelves this fall.

If you're inter-
ested in giving
stationary you
may want to
consider some
of the beautiful
garden theme
note cards that
are sure to be
on shelves this
fall.

Clocks in dif-
ferent styles
and shapes
were every-
where.

Wood, stone
and decoupage
clocks were
some of the
most popular.
A nice gift idea
for a new
kitchen or den.
Lastly, colour is

holders are popular new git ideas. in!

“calm” is very popular this
season. Rock plaques carved
with messages of peace and
harmony will be found in
many home and garden

shops.

Some other interesting
gifts to make an appearance
this season include iron plant
holders moulded into fun
shapes to hold potted winter

Brightly
coloured vases,
beverage glasses and linens
will adorn plenty of kitchen
tables this season.
- This is a good trend
because the grays of fall are
corning sooner than you
think!
