OFF TO MARKET


It's that time of year when we head back to Atlanta to this country's largest gift & home show. Many people think we are buying for Christmas, but in fact we are shopping for wonderful Spring & Easter gifts & decor. We bought Christmas in January & it has already arrived. We have already marked & sorted all our beautiful ornaments & decor and packed them away for our Christmas Open House in November. You are going to love what we have in store for you this Christmas! Think about us as we leave bright & early Friday morning at 4:30am. And, we will think of you as we pick out the best Spring & Easter goodies you will love. Don't forget we have a wonderful Fall & Halloween Open House September 17th. I will blog on our buying trip when we return. Stay tuned for all our adventures!
