Thanksgiving 2009

Posted on November 23, 2009 08:40 by David

Many people, especially those in the luxury business, are finding it hard to be thankful for anything this year. This sector is struggling more than any other and signs of recovery are dim. It seems that the people deemed “aspirationals” were the ones who were snapping up luxury items…and now they are the ones under the most financial stress.

I, however, am very thankful. While 2009 was not a record-breaking year for David Francis Furniture, we are still here and we are still strong. We even avoided layoffs, which makes me very happy because our team is like family.

2010 will be better. In fact, we are already seeing an uptick in quotes and orders. We are introducing new items and I remain inspired to create beautiful furniture. Happy Thanksgiving!
