I certainly enjoyed having breakfast this morning, at TRADITIONS, while enjoying a very interesting and lively presentation by Mr. Jim Caughman entitled French Luxury... it was all about how in the 17th century, the French and Italians invented the luxury goods market for europe, catering to courts and aristocrats. I enjoyed it, and was amazed at how concise and witty Mr. Caughman was. Also, I saw our Baker rep, Richard Tharp, and many colleagues. (James Caughman is a senior sales and marketing exec for Baker Furniture). David at Traditions is a great guy to work with, and I hope to send some business his way this Winter. Traditions is located in Old Naples, in the space where Bond Street gallery was. They have a very nice assortment. Check out their stuff at http://www.traditions.com/ Enjoy! DF*****
