The Nashville market is here, and so are we!
We arrived Thursday evening and met Jeannette Douglas and her husband, Dale, at a great restaurant in Nashville. Tina had seen it advertised on the Food network, and we thought we would give it a go. Yummy food, and great company. That is always my favorite part of markets--visiting with all the wonderful friends we have made throughout the years.
Then on to the hotel to start setting up. First we move all the furniture around in our room - which is no easy feat.... the couch is soooo heavy (never meant to ever be moved, ever) and this year came attached to a long chaise lounge. Then I started decorating the front window. I kind of think Tina was giving the chaise a spin, she said she was working, but I think that is hard to do with her eyes closed on a lounge chair. Now it is Saturday morning, almost time to open our door and show our newest designs. Here is what we have, I will add to this blog later today as I get out shopping. Definitely going to have fun.

Pat Carson (of Designs by Gloria and Pat) stopped by the booth. It was so much fun to see and visit with her. Our booth was behind hers when we first started going to market in Columbus--28 years ago, and she was such a beloved rock star of the industry.
It is late here and I am fading quickly. I will add more tomorrow, or at least Monday when I get home.
