The porcelain dinnerware collection is now looking at September shipping dates. Sales so far show a strong interest in the line with the Massai Shield and African Toile tea set the most popular. Spray Paint has been attracting stores looking for children’s dinnerware. "We are very pleased with the overall reaction to this new concept," says Barbara Garnes, Lifestyle Creator of SoHe Designs. " Our customers tell us this is what they have been waiting for from the market for a long time."

Previous to founding Southern Hemisphere Design Group, Barbara Garnes owned and operated My Father’s House, a manufacturing and wholesale company for home textiles, apparel and accessories since 1990.
