New Designs!

Before we show you some of our new designs, we want to offer Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints!  As disappointed as we were to lose, there are quite a few Indiana connections to the Saints - Drew Brees (Purdue University), Tracy Porter (Indiana University) and  Courtney Roby (North Central High School - our alma mater!).  I guess it makes losing a bit easier!

We've had a lot of people asking for a peek at what's to come so we thought we'd post a few things today.  We are really excited that we are now offering custom, personalized recipe cards and laminated placemats through our Custom Catalog.  Here are some of our favorites but the combinations are truly endless!

While the real deal Custom Catalogs will be in stores the end of February (including a nifty new color swatch tool) you can be the first to view an electronic version of the New Custom Catalog here!

Superbowl Madness!

Of course, having been born and raised in Indianapolis and living here once again, we are huge Colts fans!  Here is a picture of our mom, Lynn Boatman, with Colts tight end, Dallas Clark!  Not only is she the #1 Boatman Geller fan, she is also a die-hard Colts fan!

 Below, Greg Geller (right) and our brother, Scott Boatman at this years first Colts playoff game at Lucas Oil Stadium!

 

It is so exciting in Indianapolis right now...everyone is wearing blue, office buildings are lit up and some of us even have blue manicures!  To those of you who are Saints fans, Good Luck...this should be a great game!  We'd love to know, who are you cheering for?

Baby, It's Cold Outside

It's that time of year for me...the novelty of snow and cold weather has come and gone.  The spring catalogs and magazines have started to arrive and all I can think about is Spring Break (still 8 weeks away!)

Here in the Creative Department, we just finished our new Custom Catalog as well as our new Off-the-Shelf offerings and we are so excited!  Now it is time for a little spring cleaning and then onto creating products for our Everyday Personalization Program.

When Royals Wore Ruffles

Do you have this book?  Have you ever seen it?  I love it... Not only are the images fabulous, but I learned quite a bit about the history of fashion!

My mom gave it to me for Christmas (she found it at Anthropologie) and I just love the illustrations by Chesley McLaren.  They are so fun and funky!  Here is just one page to show you what's in store for you...

Happy New Year!

Happy 2010 to everyone!  Here at Boatman Geller, we started off the new year working on new Off-the-Shelf designs and our new Custom Catalog that will be hitting stores the end of the month!  We thought you might like a sneak peek at some of what we have been working on...

 Picking color combinations to sample is so hard to do!

Narrowing down the offerings...

 

The Mod Diamond design did so well for the holidays, we are offering it in our Custom Program! We are also offering custom placemats and recipe cards, shown here...

We hope you've enjoyed your sneak peek at  what's been happening in the Creative Department!  Have a great weekend and stay warm...
