new stuff

Hi -

Got 3 new sofas last week and expect more about the middle of the week. Got a wonderful vanity with a granite top in too, just put it on the floor today. Also getting about a dozen new wood pieces in from Winsome Wood in Woodinville. Nice thing about them is they're mostly all solid wood (none of that presswood junk).

Just a reminder, we keep a Wish Book so if we don't have it...we'll look for it.

Thx....

deer, trees and dirt

I clipped a deer the other night on my drive home. She got up OK and ran off (and no damage to my vehicle) but I caution you about driving, particularly at dusk.

Met the new (2 months in job) urban forester for the city of Olympia yesterday, Stacey Ray. There's an application to get free trees for your neighborhood at http://www.ci.olympia.wa.us/cityservices/urbanforest/UF+Info.htm and the plan the city has for adding and maintaining downtown trees can be found there too. May 1 is Arbor Day and the city is planning on some (as yet to be developed) plans to celebrate.

Members of the Olympia Downtown Association are meeting in front of the old Griswolds on Sunday at 10am for a 2 hour cleanup of downtown, for anyone interested in participating. Bring your own tools.

Today is the deadline for registering for Arts Walk. At Furniture Works, we'll have a photographer, a painter and a woodworker and we're working on having a reggae band perform. I'll try to keep you updated.

Just ordered a bunch of new stuff. The search for affordable new furniture is more work than it used to be, but I've got 3 sofas, a set (matching sofa, loveseat and chair), a sectional and about a dozen pieces of woodwork (bookshelves, etc.) coming in next week.
