another truckload

Just back from Up North with a truckload of used furniture. This week I got a table & 6 chairs, shabby chic table with 2 chairs (nice vine pattern on the table), glass topped coffee table & 2 end tables, a couple small chests of drawers and nice vintage vanity/desk with bakelite handles.

today's stuff

I was down in Portland (picking up new furniture at Porter International and celebrating Halloween with Kim's niece Mindi) but I understand it was surprisingly large turnout for Halloween downtown. I'm looking forward to this getting bigger & better every year.

Got most of the new stuff unwrapped & on the floor. From a sale up North, I picked up a great Chinese cabinet with mother of pearl inlay. Gotta see it to believe it.

Halloween

We're delighted to participate in the downtown Halloween celebration. Treats for the kids from 1-4pm. Find the pirate hat and you're part of a drawing for lots of give-aways. More details at http://www.everydayolympia.com/halloween/

what should I get?

I really like the furniture from my new wholesaler, Porter International, but I'm not sure which pieces to put in the store. If you get a minute, take a look and tell me what you like.

Oct 18

Kim & I went up the peninsula yesterday to an auction. We both were flabbergasted at just how beautiful the trees (and bushes, etc.) have been in a riot of color. Brought back some vases, an entertainment center, a Danish modern bookcase, a brass valet and a couple of other items, so this morning was spent getting everything unloaded and out and on the floor for sale.

It was a good sales day yesterday, so I want to thank everyone who stopped by with a special thanks to everyone who bought something.

Winsome order in

Just got a shipment of new book cases, tables, etc. from Winsome Wood in Woodinville. Nice pieces and most are solid wood, an uncommon thing in this day & age. Another plus, Winsome has begun "drop shipping", i.e. selling individual items and shipping them directly to your home. They are still a wholesale company, so you'll want to contact us if you see a particular piece you like but we'd be happy to do a special order for you.

Here's a picture of one of the bookcases...
