A: Is for the art of design

Well it's that time of the year when the Javit's opens it's arms to the International Gift Show. This six day event has me working for one of the most ingenious designers around. I look forward to seeing what new visions they have for my eyes to lust after and my nose to become sensually addicted to. Once you've had a peek at the new products from Michel Design Works (they really are beautiful) you will be hooked. The packaging which is charming, is well thought out and is a feast for anyone's vision. The scents are gorgeous. You won't believe the Chocolate candle. It's hard not to take a bite of the scented candle! The China Blue is reminiscent of the classic Ralph Lauren pattern, but it is the fragrance of Jasmine infused with lotus that has me applying it lavishly so I can be engulfed in it's aroma. The Vegetable Therapy Kitchen Hand Wash smells fresh and it's antibacterial! Does the approaching fall season bring to mind the scent of ripe pear with a tang? A Tuscan Pear Reed Diffuser is the perfect way to satisfy those memories and keep a room fragrant and fresh. Pomegranate, pine, exotic spice, green tea, gin and tonic, Cinnamon and lavender are just a few of the scents to entice. All are picked and hand labored over by Deborah and Bruce the husband and wife team who are the creators of this delightful visionary experience. You can bask in their world at the Javit's until Thursday. To find them just go to the lobby at the 34th street building. You see even the show recognizes them as the best in their class and has put them for all to see. Sometimes art is in the things we find in the gifts that are given and that is a F.A.C.T.
