Kate’s licensed designs were on display in over six showrooms in Atlanta including ceramics by Certified International, holiday decor by C&F Enterprises, rugs by Homefires by Design, kitchen accessories by CounterArt, and home decor items by SceneWeaver and Evergreen.
One of the most exciting launches was the “Fisherman’s Catch” collection of ceramics by Certified International. Kate’s move back to the beach a little over a year ago inspired this eye-catching design. The blue crabs, fish, and various shellfish of the East coast were missed by Kate during her years of living in Colorado. The popularity of this design in Atlanta is already leading to the launch of several companion collections for the kitchen! Look for Kate’s crabs, lobsters & their friends in stores soon.
In addition to “Fisherman’s Catch” and the “Bon Appetit Wine, Bread, and Cheese” and “Olivia” ceramic collections that Certified will continue to produce in 2006, Certified has also added Kate’s “Key West” and “Arbor” collections to their 2006 catalog. “Arbor” is a classic fruit collection, sure to add charm to any kitchen and “Key West” is a festive tropical design – perfect for a fun party or for fun anytime.
In addition to the excitement at Certified, Kate was also proud to be part of a joint event with her artist-designer mother, Pat Miller, at the showroom for C&F Enterprises/Gallerie II. Kate was there to promote her “Holiday Royale” gift collection while her mother promoted the launch of her new “Noel” gift collection. This was truly a highlight of the show for Kate.
Look for Kate’s new collections in stores soon and see more of Kate’s artwork at Surtex in NYC May 21-23 2006. More information is available from Kate McRostie DesignWorks, Inc by calling (813) 383-4640, or by visiting www.katemcrostie.com.
