Artists!

We'll have several artists registered to show their work at Arts Walk. We'll have a half dozen furniture pieces from Big Leaf Studios (http://bigleafstudio.com/), original paintings and, from a consortium of artists, paintings, furniture, pottery and lamps.

I'm also pleased to announce we have a new employee, Jennifer Troxler. She brings previous experience with retail furniture to this job, so I'm sure you will find her knowledgable and helpful.

I'm off next week to the Las Vegas Market (http://lasvegasmarket.com/index.shtml) and I'll be looking at 4.3 million square feet of home furnishings, to find the best to bring to Furniture Works.

Artists?

We've about another week before artists need to register for Arts Walk (which is the first weekend in October). I've got a furniture maker lined up but would love to have a couple of painters showing their works. If you want to display your work at Furniture Works, send me an email at ken@olyfurnitureworks.com.

JinJin's closed on 4th Ave & they brought in several really interesting pieces of Chinese furniture on consignment. The lamps are particularly cool since they're made from jars that came from the area in China that originated porecelain...and they have silk shades.

As always, thanks for supporting FW...
