Recently I went to Atlanta with some co-workers to attend the International Christian Retail Show (ICRS) and the Atlanta Gift Show. Our hotel (Omni Hotel) was right by the Centennial Olympic Park. While at ICRS, in addition to seeing new books, card, and stationery products, we had the opportunity to view a special preview showing of a new film that will be coming out in September called Courageous. It’s a touching; inspiring movie that will make you laugh and cry, so bring tissues! You can learn more about it and watch a trailer of it by clicking here. The group Casting Crowns has made a music video for the movie, too–click here to see that.
The gift show was at AmericasMart® in the huge Atlanta Convention Center, with floors and floors of the newest items in stationery, giftware, home accessories and furnishings, jewelry and fashion. Here are a couple of window displays that inspired me.
Of course, we had to eat, too, and found some great places in downtown Atlanta. We had some delicious meals at Ok Café, Landmark Diner and enjoyed several dinners at the Ted’s Montana Grill. My favorite at Ted’s was the Buffalo Pot Roast; it really was the best post roast I have ever tasted.
