More ring news

Chase and Scout rings can now be purchased in Dallas exclusively at Urban Flower Grange Hall.
How's that for fast - Everything has been happening fast, fast, fast this year. We're really excited by this. I have an appointment at another gallery in Tallahassee in a few weeks. I need to decide where in Houston I'd like to approach.... We've been refining the list of places I'd like to talk to in Austin about the rings as well. Our new website goes live in a few weeks!

The chairs are going to just one boutique hotel, unfortunately the same week we officially launched ours, a factory in Brooklyn began producing a simplified version. Ours are more for commercial use as the bases are removable (for stacking and storage of multiples) and ours are also adjustable and can be positioned into an upright sitting or recline position.
Since ours are a two piece sectional and have more design/production in the creation to make the additions/changes possible, the cost is also significantly higher than the original design.
A serious drag, but sometimes two groups come up with similar ideas at the same time.

The oil spill has not helped with smaller Florida hotel budgets for outdoor furnishings anyways, some of the mom and pops are just praying for a Hurricane and the resulting insurance money to stay afloat this year..
Fortunately we did sell the originals and we're not sitting under a ton of chairs =o)

This year I'm really into staying focused on the bright side. A really talented landscape designer is re-vamping our backyard for a more Texas drought friendly look. All of the cactus will finally have a place to go. The Ferox should be especially happy to get out of a pot and into free soil..
I managed to save two giant blue agaves from the shop and they have both rooted into the yard this spring, now we just need to replant the sago palm and we should be good.

Hopefully next time we're in NM we can pick up some more statuesque red rocks for the back yard.

Looks like F&D/F&D is a hit and we are so pleased to have them, they are such a nice couple and their daughter is just a doll. Good vibes all around!
