Good evening....

Added another vendor today to our wholesale list - Allstate Floral. They provide silk/artificial greenery, flowers, etc. Beyond our basic Vacation Home Furnishing and Home Staging services, we can also obtain pieces for resale for weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, showers, funerals, graduations, etc.

For example, for my personal wedding, we are looking at using silk orchid plants for centerpieces at the reception. Looking at a 22.5" tall Phalaenopsis orchid in a ceramic black pot like this, I can offer them at $15/ea - and they come in 8 different colors! Many other sizes and varieties available - and the best prices in Phoenix for weddings and other special events! (Minimum order of 6). At $15 each, you can get ratty-looking live ones in plastic pots from Wal-Mart (they were on special today), but not high-quality, silk everlasting ones in ceramic pots!

Please contact us should you need silk/artificial plants for ANY occasion - even just for your personal home!

Hello!

We have added another vendor to our wholesellers - this one is Baker's Nursery. They sell all types of plants, trees, shrubs, pots and garden decor, and landscaping materials. They were added when a Tempe condo client I am currently working with had a special pottery request - Baker's had what he was looking for!

I've been a customer for years, now, as Baker's carries the uncommon flower and veggie plants I love - like GRAPE tomatoes! You can't find those at Home Depot! Plus they have some cool cats as mousers on the property...

If you are in Phoenix, check them out at 3414 N 40th St, Phoenix 85018.

We have added a new wholesale account, and this one provides live plants, incredible pottery, and accessories (baskets, vases, mosses, decorative stone, etc).

We took a "field trip" today to South Phoenix to visit their nursery and greenhouses, and they were breath-taking! I wanted to live in the flowering greenhouse, it just made me so happy :)

So in addition to our fantastic pricing on artificial plants, we can now offer living plants, and great pricing on all styles of pottery - Mexican, Tuscan, Chinese, Vietnamese, Malaysian, and Empire!

We are toying with the idea of offering individual items at retail; if you are looking for something in particular - furniture piece(s), artificial plant(s), pottery, oil painting(s), decor....let us know! We'll be happy to try to locate it, and are VERY competitive in our pricing, since we do not have a showroom, large inventory to carry, or large staff! I will start posting individual items in the coming weeks here - once they are gone, they are GONE! Many are one-of-a-kind or limited in quantity! Argent Decor accepts VISA, MasterCard, and PayPal, too!

FOR FEBRUARY: SPECIAL!

8' tall artificial Banana Tree - this is an AWESOME replica with so much detail! Retails for $159.00 in store of wholesaler we buy them from; orders placed by 2/28/09 can be purchased for $119.00 each!

ALSO AVAILABLE: 4' version - orders by 2/28/09 will be sold for $49 each!

Both of these can be viewed in person; please contact me and I can arrange a showing.

Many other lifelike plants available - just ask!

We are off to Tucson tomorrow to pick up a shipment of plants and Tuscan furniture....but I'll be back later this week!

THANKS -

Hello!

Argent is pleased to announce a new link on our website, www.ArgentDecor.com. The company is Arizona Custom Concrete - click HERE to visit their website!

One of their owners, Adam Cresswell, was the very first friend my sister and I made when we moved to Phoenix in 2002. A stand-up guy who stands behind his work!

Arizona Custom Concrete offers concrete resurfacing and decorative concrete overlays, pool decking, countertops, BBQs, garages, patios, fountains, and so much more! They can replicate natural stone, too!

If you or one of your clients is in need of a concrete project bid, please do give them a call. Arizona Custom Concrete did a bid for a friend of mine on a large patio project, and he reported back that they were friendly, professional, and delivered the best price quote - what EVERY customer wants!

Hi all! Do you or someone you know need cheap moving boxes...? Then read on!

I met a pretty enterprising lady yesterday - her name is Kim Bolt. She has a company called, "Think Outside the Box". She collects boxes from companies - paper ream boxes, shipping boxes, etc - and re-sells them for $.50 each, any size, for people who need moving or storage boxes. BRILLIANT! Here's all the benefits to working with her:

*Reduces the cost of trash pick-up for the companies
*Reuses paper products - reduces landfill amounts
*Provides boxes that were used only once to consumers for WAY less than they can buy elsewhere
*Puts a little money in Kim's pocket

Kim runs business out of her home in S Scottsdale - put her info in your files and save a tree! (or 2).

We are moving to Arcadia, and were scanning craigslist for free or cheap boxes when we found her - using the boxes now, and feeling good about getting them cheap, and reusing a natural resource!
