Newsletter -- March 19, 2007
March snowstorm
Since last month's newsletter . . . .
. . . . things have been pretty quiet here. Our reduced show schedule has given us time to complete some long-awaited home and shop improvements. Our decision to stay in Conway has inspired us to give ourselves a few of the amenities we'd planned for our new home, and we've spent much of our "down time" making it happen.
Part of this process has been the replacing of many of our antique and semi-antique rugs with newer carpets. We've added our older rugs to our inventory and, at the same time, have added a Carpet Gallery to our website. See the link to this gallery below, and visit it for some good buys on rugs.
For several months our letters from readers of this newsletter have been about equally divided between comments and inquiries about antiques and letters about our young snow leopard, Pippin, who makes an occasional appearance. For family and friends who have expressed appreciation, we offer these Pippin Pix, in what might become a regular department in our monthly e-journal.
We're off to England next week, and are confident that we'll return with new finds for our Spring gala in April. (Details below.)
