Happy Friday!

 {via}

Hi luvies! Today was my first day at the High Point furniture market. I've been going since the age of 6 so the novelty has definitely worn off- if there ever was any! I grew up playing with my brothers and sister in the back of my parents' factories, turning furniture frames into jungle gyms, working as receptionist during the summers, and now to the delight of my parents more than my own (because public speaking makes me clammy and produces a speech impediment) giving trend reports at the sales meetings.  I have to admit walking around InterHall and seeing all the new product (and imagining it in my home!) is quite inspiring so I'll try to report back like I did during spring market here, here, and here.  For now, here are some posts that are definitely My Cup of Te. Happy weekend darlings.
