Last week, during the HPDC Designer Wed, we had the pleasure of a visit from Joyce Allen-Crawford. The intention of her visit was two fold. As owner of her own design business she was scouting out pieces for her clients, and as Manager for the High Point Convention and Visitors Bureau, she was delivering the token of their appreciation as shown here.
Joyce and I met several years back, through our mutual association in the High Point Design Center and thus she was aware of my antique business and the fact that my warehouse for my collection was located in High Point….actually, quite literally 1 mile down the road from the Convention Center/Visitors Bureau. She was also aware of my interest in doing whatever I could to support driving business…retail or trade, to boost the commerce happening in High Point.
Thus, it was a shoe in for Joyce when she first set foot in our showroom. She quite simply needed to decide what would work best in the Center. Per the photos below, you can see that our pieces pull together the setting quite nicely.
Great job Joyce. My Mongolian chest, black pumpkin stools and love seat have added to the warmth created by Joyce…with further contributions from several other furniture companies based in High Point.
Thrilled to be able to add to the ambiance of the Welcome Center and also to have this venue to promote my business. Yes, we keep a nice stash of post cards available, shown here on the left, to offer contact info, as well as keeping a basket of fortune cookies available…with our business card attached of course.
And similarly, am happy for the opportunity to offer yet another furniture shopping resource to visitors to High Point. All good for everyone eh?

FYI, yet another hat Joyce wears, as she serves as rep for the jewelry line Cookie Lee. Thrilled that she joined several vendors in November at our first annual ZAAR Design Center Christmas Bazaar. We had a great day…first hosting guests from the High Point Design Center and later in the day from WITHIT….evening event punctuated a potluck dinner and presentation from Kimberly Stone ,WITHIT and ZDC member, of Sans Souci Sisters, sharing the story behind the very personal hand made creations in her Santa Claus’s. Check out photos from that great event here.

See….you never know what you’re going to find when you open up my post. (Meant to tag you in it….will do that now. Blogs have long shelf life, so many will still see after today.) Thank you for providing the lovely visual…it worked superbly.
