Most of the big wholesale shows take place between the first week of January and the middle of February. It’s not always this bad but this year, we’ve had a record in weather issues affecting our buyer!

First was the arrival in Paris, January 21, during hurricane-force winds and rain. Right at the start of the French Maison et Objet show.Storm Wreaks Havoc in France and Spain

Next was the conditions currently hitting England, and affecting all areas of daily life. This is of course during the Birmingham Spring Fair, one of the biggest general merchandise shows.
Worse snowstorm in 18 years apparently.

We can’t say we don’t go the extra mile for our jobs! But we sure do wish the shows were in April. Or May. Or anytime other than January really.

Those new goodies arriving at our warehouse soon were bought in extreme conditions!

After a harrowing week-end, it seems like Houston and most of Texas is rallying incredibly fast and picking up the pieces left by the mighty Ike.

The Houston Antique show that was scheduled for this week, has been cancelled, unfortunately. The Round Top shows are all going on as planned, so we will see you there. We are at La Bahia, and you can get directions and more information here. We will be setting up on Friday, September 26th, and opening officially on Saturday the 27th at 8 AM sharp.

We have almost finished packing, and will be bringing over 500 (yes, FIVE HUNDREd) French linen sheets, some of them absolutely incredible. Some of the best merchandise we’ve had in years. Hundreds of vintage nightdresses and lingerie, towels, redwork, bluework, duvets, thousands of shams and more. We have a 26-foot truck and it will be full of nothing but linens!

Do come visit and stay a while!

The Touch of Europe team – feverishly packing, measuring, tagging, labelling, packing and checking more linen than they ever thought they’d see in a lifetime
