Shop Locally

There are benefits to shopping locally. Businesses typically employ local people; therefore stimulating the economy. Most businesses support local charities and organizations; therefore your dollars help spread the wealth. Small business is the backbone of the american economy; without them, the unemployment rate would be catastrophic. A portion of the sales tax paid goes back to the county to fund budgets needed to sustain important county programs. Customer service and building relationships are very important in today's economy for both parties involved so shop in your own backyard. It saves Gas!

Congratulations Debra Boone

Debra Boone celebrates her 15 year anniversary with Veranda Home Furnishings and Design. Debra started with us shortly after The Village Window opened up in 1994.

Census 2010

Make sure you fill out your paperwork when you get in the mail! Only 62% of the population filled theirs out last time, therefore, we experienced a shortfall in government funds that come into our counties to help those in need. If you don't fill it out, expect a visit from a US census bureau representative (make sure you ask for ID before speaking to them). It is safe and simple; the Census Bureau does not release or share information that identifies individual respondents or their household for 72 years.

Filling it out helps in so many ways. For instance, more than $300 billion in federal funds are awarded to states and communities based on the data each year (that is over 3 trillion over a 10 year period); census date guide local decision-makers in planning where to build new hospitals, roads, schools and other community facilities. Businesses and corporations rely on accurate census data for locating new businesses, marketing and recruitment of employees. And it gives us a voice in Congress by determining how many seats each state will have in the US House of Representatives. And it will help create hundreds of thousands of temporary jobs across the nation.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

It's the 5th day of May already! Wishing everyone a safe time tonight if you are hitting The Villages party!

Back from Market

Our buyers just returned from High Point market in NC and are pleased with the new styles and products offered. We've found some new lines that we will try out in upcoming months. We are always looking for quality merchandise at fair prices to offer our customers. It is really difficult when most products are being imported from China and not made in the USA. We feel in the next few years, some of these manufacturers will be returning to the United States, which should help with timing of delivery and damage control.
