So.  I’ve heard lately from several of our shoppers that they feel completely safe bidding sight unseen for items we represent.  They know that the homes will always be clean, neat, that items will be beautifully presented, and that the choices will be described well and photographed beautifully.  It helps to have someone who’s responsible just for taking the phenomenal pictures that we use.

~

Thank you for saying that.  Most of you know that a great deal of work goes into producing an event like this.  What many of you may not know, though, is how selective we are in making our choices.  Before you can shop with us, we need to go shopping for you.  I can’t wait for you to see the next one!
