Atlanta Here We Come!

While everyone in Maryland is enjoying an arctic blast, I am off to Atlanta to start the whole buying process for the 2015 Christmas season! How much fun is that? Here is just a sample of what next season might bring… Just kidding! But I got your attention, didn’t I?

The AmericasMart Atlanta Gift and Home Furnishings Show is the Really Big Show in the US for Christmas buyers. It has so many different and unique things to see, along with all the traditional things we expect.

The one thing that always amazes me, however, is how many women walk the entire day in HIGH HEELS!! I mean, how in the word do they do it? Not me, that’s for sure… Its a pair of good tennis shoes for me while I hunt down the next Big Holiday Seller for Behnke’s!!

Alfred Millard also came down this year to find other items for us to carry (he loves pottery and statuary). Watch for the new Bee Houses he is ordering.. I have been ordering so many things for 2015, I sure am hoping you will be pleased. Although this tree is sorta growing on me…

Stephanie Fleming was raised at Behnke’s Nurseries in Beltsville. Her Mom, Sonja, was one of Albert & Rose Behnke’s four children. She was weeding from the moment she could walk and hiding as soon as she was old enough to run, so many weeds, so little time. Although she quickly learned how to pull out a perennial and get taken off of weed pulling duty.
