Happy National Flag Day. 🇺🇸

To us, this flag has never been about politics.

It’s about the men and women who sacrificed so we’d have the freedom to disagree, dream big, build businesses, raise families, chase our goals, and wake up every day with opportunity.

No matter where you come from or what your story is, this flag reminds us that we’re all part of something bigger than ourselves.

Today, take a moment to appreciate the freedoms so many have fought to protect.

Here’s to choosing unity over division.

Happy Flag Day, America. 🇺🇸

Hailey is a savvy shopper! She was overwhelmed by what she found when she opened our showroom door in the east building and found The Gathering Place. Thanks for the great video and we’ll see you again soon!

What a great throwback that came into my feed today! This “Koi Joy” chair sold so quickly! I wish I had snagged 10 more yards of this fabric! Loved working on this chair, it’s enjoying its best life on Hilton Head!

WOW, the Charlie Effect is the real deal. We are so grateful to all of you who saw us on FOX 13 News - Tampa Bay on Tuesday morning and made a point to come find all the vendors inside The Blue Flamingo this week!
