We have some displays which have been reduced at least 60%. You can just … [Read more...]

By Nancy B Celebrating one of our own was so fun.  Sherri Perri, our Lighting Showroom Manager has been with Nancy B’s for years and has just had a very special birthday.  She turned the big Six-O, but looks 40, if that.

By Nancy B There is a Lowe’s right across the street and a Home Depot to open next month that’s close by as well. I must admit, I love Lowe’s and go there for much of my gardening needs and so appreciate gift certificates my children gift me. Lowe’s has a very kind and knowledgeable employee who manages this garden center and is most helpful, I search her out when I go. What’s interesting is that … [Read more...]
