Market Inspiration

Market this year proved most inspiring.  On so many levels, I saw innovation and creativity.  Exciting new ideas in lighting, powerful statements in carpets, truly unique collections in accessories and an overall adherence to excellence in design.  I have always considered myself blessed to be able to work in my family's business and to carry on its traditions.  Going to market and seeing other business owners, creators and designers furthering their own dreams and expressing their own views of aesthetic wonders - well, that is just icing on the cake.

Below are some of my most treasured finds.  Many are on their way into the store as I type, others maybe a month or so behind.  But either way, I think you will find yourself inspired.
