H.Potter has been reintroducing the gardening world to the pleasant pleasure of indoor terrariums, wardian cases, and cloches for nearly 15 years. They have carried on the tradition of those who first crafted terrariums in the 19th century for interior decoration by creating functional and notable designs that pay homage to days past. H.Potter has been dedicated to bringing a variety of high quality and style of terrariums to the market. It is not uncommon to find in their collection of terrariums and cases that have single piece rounded glass or stained glass. Along with awe inspiring designs, H.Potter continues to create pieces that are not only superior in taste but also in how they work with the gardener rather than against.

The design team at H.Potter goes to great lengths to insure that the terrarium actually functions as a small greenhouse. Additionally, you will often find that most of these terrariums come with plastic lining and/or a small door with a stand for easier access to the small garden to make planting and maintenance cleaner, easier, and more successful. H.Potter’s dedication to helping their customers miniature gardens bloom has never stopped at simply shipping the product. Their website and social media tools continue to provide tips to their customers directly from top gardeners around the world. They have not only invested time, money, and heart into their products but they have also used their notable position in the industry to make sure they continue to bring their customers exclusive access to the gardening world’s movers and shakers. They often sponsor articles and events in an effort to make sure all their customers have the tools they need to create the best terrarium.

This dedication over the past 15 years to exceptional style, quality, and community cultivation has not gone unnoticed. Their terrariums have been featured in a variety of media outlets and by famous designers around the world. You will often find H.Potter terrariums adorning the front cover of famous magazines like Real Simple, Southern Living, and in the books of Tvoah Martin.

Recently H.Potter heard from their customers that they have been using their terrariums from the H.Potter collection to compete in a variety of competitions, including fairy garden competitions throughout the United States. They were inspired and thrilled that their designs would be trusted enough to be used in competition. In honor of this H.Potter has recently released a new terrarium, the Terrarium Fairy Garden Display, that is dedicated to showcasing small garden scenes and fairy gardens. This particular piece, is designed to highlight the skill of the small garden scene and fairy garden creator. The top of the terrarium lays flat so that it acts as a perfect window or frame to peer through at the delicate and taxing labor of creating these garden scenes. This piece comes in two pieces and has ample space to plant and create an inspiring scene. The base is metal with a dark grey powder coat finish that complements the scene inside. The glass top, or window, is hinged to the roof and also features a stand in order to allow easy access and more opportunity for creative designs.

Mexican Artisans Bring New Home Decor to Atlanta Design and Wholesale Market


Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 28, 2012

No Mas! Productions of Atlanta (literally “no mass productions”) and Amano Trade of Mexico team up to bring artisan crafted home accents to AmericasMart tradeshow July 13-17, 2012. No Mas! Hacienda, designer and importer of Mexican artisan products, has been an Atlanta niche home accents and furniture supplier since 1996. Their location, just one mile from AmericasMart, makes it easy to lure customers to their vast 11,000 square foot showroom and adjacent restaurant concept.

Stretch your imagination and try to remember the last time you went on that whirl wind – site seeing – museum hopping – gallery touring – high end boutique bopping – south of the border shopping spree in grand old Mexico?? Well, a visit to the expansive No Mas! Hacienda may just be a huge reminder …or a new inspiration. If you haven’t been, say no more. No Mas!, now well into their second decade of working directly with many of Mexico’s most talented artisan’s, has assembled a collection that is sure to leave you jaw agape. And to the pleasure of the gift buyers traveling to the Deep South this summer, they are bringing a small slice to market. This July you can find No Mas! at the AmericasMart Temporaries booth 7B16, they will be focused on just one of their 300 Mexican artisans. Co-Owner Steve MacNeil explains, “This show, we are going to focus on just one artist. The idea is to present the works at the Temporaries and invite our customers to our main location just one mile away so they can discover all of our collections”. The featured artisan makes colorfully textured ceramic sculptures and wall art that bring together Mexican tradition and Italian heritage.

This is the second time No Mas! has invited specific artists from Mexico to Atlanta. The first, Cesar Plascencia, painter in the photorealistic style, was featured in October 2011 on Univision. As a result, No Mas! enjoys an exclusive relationship with him in the USA. “Good news is that these artists can not mass produce anything. Products are crafted by hand, using skills passed on from generation to generation”. As a result, each item is unique and bears the unmistakable marks of the craftsman’s hand. This makes an ideal niche when addressing the needs of small stores and designers looking for something unique and made by hand.

Since 1996, No Mas! has been discovering new artists constantly and now counts more than 300 artists from all parts of Mexico including Taxco, Oaxaca, Celaya, Tlaquepaque, Tonala, Ajijic, Guanajuato, Dolores Hidalgo, San Miguel de Allende, and many small towns in Michoacan. Their specialty is one of a kind commissioned designs and ranges to ‘small run’ pieces ideal for catalogs, hotel interiors, and custom architectural installations. If you make the journey and somehow don’t see what you are after, please speak your mind. The possibilities are endless. “If you can sketch it we can make it”, states Walter Bilinski. And as the second Co-Owner of this incredible business he quickly illustrates with photos countless projects that he is not joking. The repertoire starts with splashy blown glass lighting, includes numerous restaurant installations and leads to a wealth of beautiful architectural creations.

An open house for buyers coming to the July Gift Show will be held nightly during the expo at the company’s main showroom at 180 Walker St SW, Atlanta, located in the Castleberry Hill Arts District. Margaritas and light Mexican fare will be served. Inquire at info@NoMasAtlanta.com for dates and times.
