And We're Off! First Day at High Point . . .


Going to market is always a little like a race to the finish line. I sometimes feel like we're on the Amazing Race (minus the crazy obstacles and challenges) because we always there for such a short time and have so much to see. People often comment that it must be so fun to get to shop for work and yes, that part is very fun, but we usually start our day when the market opens at 8:00am and end when the market closes at 8:00pm. In between we rush around the maze of buildings, hallways and hundreds of people, going down our list of showrooms and lines we want to see and hoping we are able to fit them all in.


The clock is always ticking while we're here, so it was fitting that one of the collections that caught our eye yesterday were these great new clocks. We've carried clocks since we opened the store but the materials and textures of these are fresh and a terrific new look. Here are a few of the ones we ordered and we look forward to their arrival in our store soon!
36" Harrington Clock $265
30" Southampton Clock (this is a heavy one!) $225
40" Elliston Clock $425

Our Karen Lee Ballard Trunk Show Was Terrific!



We had a wonderful turnout for our First Day of Spring Open House on Sunday, 3/20 and the weather was beautiful. There was no doubt spring is here (we'll just ignore this past week and of course the snow on Sunday . . .the warmth will be back)!


Customers were out and about enjoying the beautiful weather and getting a first glimpse at all of our new arrivals. Spring is often a time of hosting bridal and baby showers and a time of gathering with friends and family to celebrate Easter. Nothing helps set the tone of your table like beautiful fresh linens and our Karen Lee Ballard sales rep, Bette Bahen, brought us a beautiful selection of samples to show our customers.

This beautiful Petal Burst collection was quite popular with customers on Saturday as it really does just scream "Spring"! It's available as shown below in White/Pink Floral and also in Natural/Gold Floral and Mercury Floral (which is fabulous).

Our personal favorite new introduction this spring is the Bienvenue collection. It's a classic pattern that can be incorporated into many decorating styles and is versatile enough to be used year round. Shown below in Pear, it's also available in Natural/Tan and Natural Black.



All Karen Lee Ballard table linens are made in the US (in New Jersey in fact). Take a look at all of their beautiful patterns and options. We carry a large selection of the laminated placemats, some linen napkins, table cloths and runners and all patterns and sizes are available for special order. We know you'll enjoy them as much as we do!
