When we create our collections and present them each season it’s like completely redoing at 10,000 square foot house from top to bottom while hosting a wedding for 1,000 people —- all at the same time. Our team designs and produces hundreds of new styles and fabrics and paint and papers and then prepares breakfasts, lunches and dinners around the clock. Our specialty cocktail this season (‘cause it’s HOT in Highpoint ) is an Aperol Spritz..be sure to stop by to visit! M108..Saturday night we are celebrating the launch of our new collection created by guest designer Kim Salmela. Here is a sneak peak of her Lewis sectional and Calhoun chair ..neatly offered in “easy to clean” (and live with) Crypton performance fabric. This market, and every market is truly a celebration of the many talented hands it takes to imagine, create, build and host this piece of-performance art!! It’s all magic to witness! Looking forward to seeing you soon! 👠

Vice Admiral E.H. Martin would have been 87 today, but for a fall 3 Christmas’ ago. Uncle Ned to me and a hero to many. In this time when brave and wise and kind and graceFULL men seem hard to come by in leadership positions I reflect on my uncle and know that finding them is possible. Here, Uncle Ned was about to walk me down the aisle , my own father having died 3 years earlier. He was head of navy air warfare at the Pentagon at the time and lived across from vice president bush in the Naval observatory. Those medals 🎖 on his chest represent a life of service to our country. A sliver star, two legion of merits , distinguished flying cross and of course Vietnam POW and more. He spent 6 years in the Hanoi Hilton ..but the lessons of prayer and strength and faith in his family , God and our country lasted a lifetime . And I feel blessed to have learned a bit more about the world and about life from him. The generosity and stories that he and Aunt Sherry shared with us as we visited them around the world live on deep inside. At my own mothers funeral (his sister) Uncle Ned told us that his first memory ever in his entire life was making snow ice cream in Asheville with mom, you know the kin? With vanilla, milk and sugar? . He was two. We knew of course that in order to keep his brain and thoughts focused while in solitary confinement in a 4x8 Hanoi cell he learn d to relive each day of his life in order from that day at 2 forward. He told us another amazing story that day. It’s really unbelievable ...as he was flying from Coronado back east just then ...forty years after Vietnam , he was enjoying his first class upgrade and ordering a Bloody Mary. He noticed the flight attendant had one of those aluminum pow bracelets that were so prevalent in 1973. The pow wives sold them with fliers names to raise money for their efforts to secure better treatment of their husbands. Uncle Ned asked her what happened to that flier ? She said she didn’t think he came home, but that every morning she gets up and puts on that bracelet and says a prayer for his family . Every morning for forty years!! “Are you sure he didn’t come back?” It was his name on that bracelet!
