He and Walt Kozy will be at CDT to host a mini training on Duralee Fine Furniture and Duralee's newest acquisition, Owner Select Furniture. Owner Select is more traditional in style and scale than Duralee. It is EXTREMELY flexible, with many custom features.
Walt will then show the latest fabrics from Duralee and Highland Court. We saw these at the national sales meeting in July, and as always, were impressed.
If that is not enough reason to attend, Duralee and CDT will privide LUNCH for all those in attendance. We hope the short notice will not keep any of you away. Please RSVP via phone, fax or e-mail NOW!!!!

Robert Allen Price Increase
Robert Allen has notified us of another price increase, effective immediately. Although they had an unexpected, mid season increase this spring, this one is actually the increase that would come in the form of a new price book, so this is the USUAL summer increase. They do not expect there to be any further changes in 2008. In order to save costs and for ecological reasons, they will not be printing huge piles of price books. They are trying to move all of us toward checking pricing online. This is going to be the case with all the fabric companies in the near future. So, folks, start getting familiar with those websites! The bright side is that you can also check stock, and get lots of other things done online.
Fabricut and Duralee National Sales Meetings
Camille and I recently attended the National Sales Meetings of Duralee and Fabricut. Both companies feel that in a slow economy the best move is to grow and get ready for better days ahead. As a result, we saw beautiful things, including lots of "GREEN" product. Our very favorite addition is from Vervain...a glorious new country french line from acclaimed designer Charles Faudree. You will love this--beautiful colors and textures, toiles, buffalo checks etc. Just what we needed. Charles himself is adorable...small, elderly, with a bow tie, and the author of 4 books on French Country style. He has been published in many magazines and won many design awards. We hope to have him as a speaker sometime in the next few months. Look for some kind of promotion at CDT featuring his latest book, which will show some of his new Vervain fabrics. You will LOVE it and it's the perfect compliment to our new French Heritage furniture.
