Six Things Summer Market
Told Us, and What to Do
About Each One

Atlanta and Dallas, June 2026

Nobody needs another list of trends. What you need is to know where to put the part of your open-to-buy that is still uncommitted, and summer market gave a clearer answer this year than it has in a while.

Buyers who went to Atlanta and Dallas came home saying the same thing in different words. The customer has not stopped spending, she has moved where she spends. She will pay ten dollars for a mug that used to be eight, and walk right past a sofa that went from $999 to $1,399. That is your opening: small goods, real quality, a reason to pick it up.

The six summer market picks together: green pressed glass pitcher, Evergreen Forest candle, lighted wooden advent calendar, two mahjong pouches, Game Day sweatshirt and a penguin plush

Entertaining at Home

Hosting season is here, and the table is where it all comes together. This month we are spotlighting two collections that make gathering feel easy, plus a quick tip for pulling each one into a display that sells the whole story, not just the single item.

The Fall Table, Solved

burton + BURTON

10% Discount · (800) 241-2094
Opening $200 · Reorder $100
burtonandburton.com

Hosting season has a way of piling up the to-do list, and Burton + Burton just crossed off the hardest part: the table. Their new collection turns a single turkey tureen into the start of a full tablescape, with coordinating plates, napkins, a chocolate board and spreader set, and cozy pumpkin accents that all speak the same design language. Nothing here feels like a one-off purchase. It feels like a table that is already set.

How to style it

Group the tureen, the plates, the napkins, and the chocolate board together on one display table or endcap. When shoppers see the finished table instead of loose pieces, they stop picking one item and start building the whole look. That is a bigger basket, and a display that does the selling for you.

Picnic Season, Party Ready

Jollity & Co / Daydream Society

10% Discount · info@jollity.co
Opening $150 · Reorder $150
shopjollity.co

Nobody throws a party quite like Jollity & Co, and this collection proves a gathering does not need to be fussy to feel special. Think strawberry gingham plates, matching napkins and cups, and a playful “dinner parties” tray that doubles as a gift for the host who already has everything else. It is the kind of tablescape that makes people want to pull up a chair.

How to style it

Pull four or five pieces that share one print or color story, gingham plates, napkins, cups, and the tray, and set them out together near checkout as a mini tablescape. A shopper browsing for a hostess gift sees a ready-made bundle instead of a single item, and that is an easy upsell every time.

Getting the House Ready

Betty Blu

10% Discount
Opening $150 · Reorder $150
bettyblu.com

The house gets ready long before anyone rings the bell, and scent is the part guests notice without being able to name. Betty Blu pours candles and wax melts in small batches out of a mother-daughter studio in Sarasota, highly fragranced, so one fills a room instead of a corner. That matters twice over this season. The same jar that gets a house ready in November is what a host reaches for in December, when someone is putting their coat on and there is nothing to send home with them.

How to style it

Merchandise it twice. Build one display for the host getting the house ready, grouped by scent so she can buy for the kitchen, the guest room and the entry in one trip. Then keep the smaller sizes and the wax melts stacked at the register, ribboned and ready, priced as the thing she grabs on the way out to send home with guests. Same line, two reasons to buy, and the second one repeats every weekend until New Year.
