L.A. Mart, the west coast’s pre-eminent market for gift and home wholesale goods, has announced that it is rebranding its quarterly markets. Formerly called the Gift + Home Shows, the trade shows will now be branded as GALLA, an acronym for Give And Live Los Angeles.
Frank Joens, senior vice president, general manager of the L.A. Mart, explained the change:
This is going to be a fantastic market and we are thrilled with the re-brand of our Gift + Home Market. GALLA, as the name suggests, is an event with substance, style and class which is the perfect description of what to expect during markets here at the L.A. Mart. Plus with this new identity, our industry can be assured that change is in the air at the L.A. Mart.

1. Gold glitter-dipped
Instead of covering an entire embellishment with gold glitter, try just dipping in an edge. Dip-dying is all the rage in fashion and home decor right now, so keep up your cutting edge in your scrapbooks, too. To achieve this look, simply brush the edges of the embellishment with a liquid glue like Mod Podge, and then sprinkle the glitter on. You can also actually dip your paper right into the glue and let the excess drip off before glitterizing.
