Today we, Hickory Chair, and Cathy Whitlock, author of Re-De-Sign, were the subject of Tobi Fairley's blog! Tobi is a very talented interior designer, licensee, blogger, speaker, wife and mother! We have had the great fortune of knowing Tobi for the last six years. In her post today, she chronicled Cathy's new book about the interior design field. The book has enjoyed great exposure and reviews in the weeks since its release. We were honored to hold a book signing for Cathy during the October International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, North Carolina.

In Tobi's blog today she shares her experience getting to know fellow bloggers Habitually Chic, Life In A Venti Cup, Coco + Kelley and La Dolce Vita. She shares her conversations with Alexa Hampton, Suzanne Kasler and Thomas O'Brien. She shares her support of the Hickory Chair team as well as pictures of many of these talented designers and the Hickory Chair Showroom.
As we look toward the Thanksgiving holiday next week, Tobi does a great job inspiring me to realize how very fortunate we are at Hickory Chair. We have over 400 craftsman here in Hickory, North Carolina that have the talent to make one-of-a-kind hand made pieces to order. On our team we have the amazing talents of Alexa Hampton, Thomas O'Brien, Mariette Himes Gomez and Suzanne Kasler to guide us into product areas that they have mastered. We have licensing programs with Albert Sack, the Winterthur Museum and the James River Plantations. We have earned the respect of magazine editors and blog authors that enjoy sharing our products, designers and stories with their readers. We give thanks to the designers, furniture stores, department stores, boutique stores and to the trade showrooms that share our products and options with their loyal clientele. Giving Thanks to Tobi Fairley has made me excited for the holiday where my family and friends will gather to share our blessings and gifts. I am sure that if you stop and reflect today, you will think of many things you are thankful for as well. Does it not feel good?
