Welcome to Dear Alice, a lifestyle approach to interior design.

Hello, my friends, Welcome to Dear Alice. Today we are doing our Market Recap podcast. I feel like we went and we came back and we had so many deadlines we were trying to hit. We almost forgot. And then you received so many DMs.

No, just people wanting to know like what were you seeing at market, you know,

because we didn't go in the spring. Yeah. We did another inspo trip. And then we were like,

no, fall is the time to go hit up market. Like we figured out like if we're going to go to one market

of the two, spring and fall, we're going to go to fall. It's like fashion week. So anyway, so we need to like do a recap.

We have to tell the people what we saw and what was impressionable for us.

And everyone's going to see different things, I think, you know, because their eyes are conditioned to see what they love.

Or what project they're working on.

... industry, right?

Yeah, they might be looking for a special client.

I know we had a particular client or two that was like really hot in our mind for

interesting problems to solve.

But also we go to market now too just to sort of understand the industry because we are

creating our own product now.

And we want to look for, we want to create things that don't already exist. And so

we kind of zag where others are zgging and we kind of want to just put our finger on the pulse,

which is, um, which is really fun to see. And it's just like there's something for everybody there. So

it's hard to, it's hard to know exactly how to zag sometimes, but always inspirational, which

I also think is a big reason to go, besides seeing what's new and next, is just to feel like our cup

is full. And we get to, we get to go and be the clients this time. Yeah, which is so fun.

The relationships are so good. We love just all the people we've become really good friends with over the years.
