Coming changes

Hi -

Furniture Works will be implementing a few new things over the next couple of months and I wanted to give you a heads up.

1. Our big sale - If you've seen it for a while at Furniture Works, this is the time to get it. 50% off selected items in the store (one week only...I hate giving money away) and it will be our biggest sale ever. By the way, that's my dog Oscar you see in the signs on the windows.

2. Consignments - Beginning 9/1/08, we're changing our consignment period to 60 days. This is to encourage consignors to price their items right to get them into your hands.

3. Seminars - We're going to start a series off seminars on furniture and home decorating. The aim is to keep the costs minimal and we'll donate the proceeds to local charities. And there will be refreshments served. I don't have dates for these yet, but keep an eye on the website.

4. Giveaway - In October, I'm going to select a nice piece of furniture and have a free drawing for it. You'll want to stop by and register.

5. New vendors - As a result of visiting the Las Vegas Market Center, we've established relationships with several new vendors and this will bring some different and exciting pieces to Olympia (their furnishings won't be anywhere else in town). These include Uma, Soflex and Furniture FX, just to name a few.
