buying like mad...

WE ARE  BUYING LIKE   MAD  RIGHT NOW, GETTING  READY  FOR THE NEW YEAR... i  have most of the garden iron ordered  and its  going to be  a lot... nice  big  arches like the one above in my  garden at home...gazebos, lots of  trellises, benches,  fences, all kinds of planters,from  huge to  nice and small , also hanging  planters  armillaries,  wall baskets,  trikes,   topiary....etc etc etc...WE ARE  GETTING  SOME POTTERY   THIS YEAR  TOO....AND I HOPE THOSE  NICE  BIG   CHIMES....

we go to the  gift  show in a few  days...that's in Chicago  where we order from the  big  companies...i  hope i can  find  the right stuff... its  really HARD!!!  what i like is usually   pretty  oddball or  way too expensive  so i try not to  go  there on  everything....altho we do have a lot of  fun   oddball customers  too...THANK HEAVENS....
AND  THIS  YEAR I  WANT TO KEEP  WATCHING  THE PRICES AND NOT  GET TOO HIGH...EXCEPT  FOR A  FEW THINGS..
i like this time of  year to   change  things around  and   work on  new  ideas....
exciting to me  right now...
INDUSTRIAL
PINTEREST
JUNK ART
MANY NEW FURNITURE IDEAS
BRINGING  BACK  THE  PRETTY  SHABBY  COTTAGE  LOOK INTO a little  corner  of  THE   FOO FOO ROOM.... the little  girls  love the  foo foo   room  we aren't  going to drop  THE  FUn stuff theylike in there.....
JON IS  PUSHING US INTO  MORE  SPECIAL ORDERS...   its  hard for me  but it sure is what the  customers  want  so i  am going along....so far its mostly on our  big   popular  counters and our  harvest   tables....
our furniture is MADE IN INDIANA...  which is a  good  feeling  for us and the  buyers...and  especially  for the  carpenters  who  do the work...
