Well it’s that time again…Market Time! I am leaving on a jet plane this morning heading over to North Carolina for 4 days! These will be 4 busy days packed with Fun and hard work! I am having dinners with Furniture Reps, Cocktail parties with designers and magazine editors, and of course my lecture at the New River Artisans Showroom on “Taking our Vitals” (see sidebar for more details).  I am thrilled to be sharing with peers and industry professionals what I find “Vital” to staying competitive in this economic climate and the design industry of today.

I hope to see several of you at the New River Event! The photo above is from my last lecture where my good friend Tim Schelfe came to support me! Please promise to introduce your selves so I can put faces to the names who leave comments on my blog each week! I hope to have some video clips of my talk too and will look forward to adding those to the blog at some point so those of you who can’t be with me can still hear the exciting things I have to share!!
