Carefree introduces new artist Martha Collins

(ALPHARETTA, Ga.) — Carefree is pleased to announce the introduction to its line of accent rugs of artist, Martha Collins. In January 2009, Carefree will offer two new designs by the talented artist. In July of 2008, Homefires introduced two area rug designs by Ms. Collins and plans to use more of her designs in upcoming months.

Martha’s style is sophisticated and diverse. Her extensive portfolio covers a wide range of themes and color palettes. “This is an exciting new license for Homefires and we are excited about the possibilities that Martha’s designs add to our future design selections,” says Renee Ringstad, VP of Merchandising for Homefires.

Among the new Martha Collins designs being introduced in 2009 are Tropical Sandals; hot pink hibiscus flowers accent a sophisticated depiction of iconic footwear, and Birds of a Feather; a colorful scene of backyard crooners perched on a tree branch.

Martha’s Carefree rugs are available in size 22″ x 34″ with a wholesale price of $19.50 per piece. The Carefree brand accent rug is made from ultra soft acrylic fibers and is remarkably machine washable.

Carefree offers more than 150 designs in a variety of themes. An in store rolling displayer is available for the retailer and makes a terrific silent salesman.
