Just got info from a great source about wood flooring made from various parts of wine barrels. They are oak wood and have that great old patina. These floors would be great for informal areas like recreation spaces, wine cellars and other casual spots. Great idea for loft spaces!

I would like to make everyone aware of an article called In Honor of Veterans which was written by my friend and mentor Bill Bartlett for The Business Ledger. You can read it by going to news@corporatestrategies-il.com and clicking on the link to the article. Isn't it interesting that a lot of the qualities that good soldiers possess are the same qualities that good business people possess?

Bill is also offering free salestraining to any soldier who has recently returned home who is interested in a sales career. Spread the word. You can see the details on his website. He is a phenominal mentor.

Just found some great old french shop signs. I believe the translation is Produce and chickens, "Produits Alimentaires Coq Hardi". The shop proprietor's names are all different. I just bought one myself. If anyone is interested let me know.
