Despite the blankets of snow covering New York City, French Bull will be preparing for the New York International Gift Fair. We’re excited to introduce our new line and can’t wait to get your feedback. This season we’ll be debuting coordinated cake knives and stands in four patterns (pictured above). Stop by the booth or check our website next month to see French Bull’s latest.

We are super proud to have a fantastic partner in South Korea. Their name is French Bull Korea. They have created a loyal following, and manufacture supreme white  porcelain houseware products and the finest cotton items under the French Bull brand name. They have created tremendous brand awareness and I want to share some funny and fun media highlights. Below are a series of product placement  TV quiz and drama shows that are highlighted with an orange square for easy spotting, plus a bunch of various press clippings.

Some of my favorite websites to visit are New York City food blogs. NY Eater, Grub Street and others are great resources for all city dwellers but my go-to site is Serious Eats. I’m not a foodie by a long shot but I enjoy seeing what’s out there and trying new places. Serious Eats has turned me onto some incredible places including an outstanding taqueria that occasionally will deliver to the office named Cascabel Taqueria. The common complaint from Californians is that you can’t get good Mexican food in New York or anywhere on the East Coast for that matter but I’ve made some sunshine staters breakdown and admit that it’s a great place.

It appears that 2011 is the year of the weekly snowstorm and last night we got a healthy dose of the white stuff though it’s steadily been melting away today. Regardless, the morning commute was spotty at best and several people had a snow day which lead to Serious Eats posting a slideshow of their favorite snow day foods. I can’t say that lamb and mussels scream “Snow Day” to me but streets covered in white blankets and the slosh of taxi tires do make me crave my annual hot chocolate (pictured above).

We can’t offer you the food insight that these great sites specialize in but we know color and pattern and have a great sale going on right now, stop in if you’re snowed in and get a mug for your next hot chocolately snow day.

I don’t think finding an empty beer can after new years eve should be that difficult and it’s kind of a neat resolution to set up a can and see what you can trap. If you get a jump on it now you could have an incredible gift for someone next holiday season too.
