  As this remarkable year begins to wind down, many of us are dreaming of going back to “normal” in the new year. With the holidays fast approaching, we are starting to get the traveling bug again. That wanderlust feeling is the inspiration for our new “Ombre travel art” collection. With their simple design and vibrant colors, […]

As we continue to navigate the adventure that has become 2020, all our eyes are fixed ahead. 2021 is only five months away, which means, we are already working on the themes and color trends for 2022!

As we continue to navigate our “new normal”, at Curtis we are taking this time of adjustment to look ahead and prepare for the times to come. We, like many of our licensees are on a bit of a holding pattern. We are not sure if upcoming tradeshows will even take place, and it is hard […]

Welcome 2020! Seems we just got back from the Atlanta Gift and Home Show and we are already packing for Surtex! Walking the Atlanta market is always enjoyable.
