Great news! Crate and Barrel is opening at Blue Back Square in West Hartford October 18th! (Corner of South Main & Memorial Drive). Sure beats driving to Boston or Providence!

I just love their clean lines and warm colors. It's a home stager's dream! Just think of all the shipping charges I'll save!

Can't tell you how jealous I am - plus, I miss West Hartofrd area. I spent a lot of time there in college...do you get to Kirklands? I have to make a field trip! Julie

Susan,

Congrats and enjoy... When I 1st moved down-town in Chicago after college I furnished my Studio apartment from the Original Crate & Barrel on Wells Street in Chicago. The clearance section was full of stuff from photo-shoots. Many moons ago.... 1984. I was very young and very poor - lived on Sushi rice, Ramen noodles & shopped along Wells Street.

Thanks for the memories.

You've got me thinking...I'm going to plan a CT Stager's Luncheon the first week of November. We'll all meet at C&B, then go to lunch! All CT stagers welcome! More to come on this idea...
