Transitions: Caroline Kennedy

by Cinda Baxter on July 11, 2008

in Gifts and Dec, Transitions

We can finally stop crossing our fingers-—Caroline Kennedy has been tapped as Gifts and Dec’s new Editor-in-Chief. The news spread like wildfire at last night’s premier party for the AmericasMart Building 2 West expansion, as she drifted around the room in her quiet, elegant manner, covering the show, doing her job.

The news broke in New York while she was in Atlanta, visiting with Jeremy Hirsch (V.P. of Marketing, OneCoast) as the gift show began. After allowing repeated back-to-back cell calls to roll to voice mail, it became apparently someone was desperate to reach her. Being the class act she is, Caroline excused herself, checked the caller ID…found her employer’s name…returned the call…

…and changed job titles.

Get used to ringing, ringing, ringing, Caroline. There are a lot of excited people out here, anxious to wish you well.

Welcome to the big office. You‘ve earned it.

Two West Wing

by Cinda Baxter on July 11, 2008

in Atlanta

We got our first glimpse of Building Two West Wing tonight at the Exhibitors’ Party. Granted, the soiree was held in the cavernous area for temps that “undressed” is simply a big room, but fill that room with dramatic lights, a great band, and a whole lot of folks anxious to get moved in and you’ve got one heck of a party.

Just wait ‘til the January show; you’re gonna be blown away.

And yes, there are additional elevators.
