When is the right time to plant flowers? Anytime is the right time, but now is the best time! I was walking through the store today and I thought even though the weather is a little cool I should plant some plants and flowers. We have just about everything you need right here at our store. We have a trailer load of plastic pots to start your planting season right. There are a variety of these pots in our store just waiting for homes. After you get the soil and plastic pot go ahead and pick up a bag of our Organic Seed Starter Mix to make sure your plants grow healthy and strong. While this is definitely my first time planting flowers on my own I think this should be fun. What else is needed? Hmmm...

Oh that's right we come to the seeds which can also be found in our store. We have pretty flower seeds. (I hope I don't kill these flowers!) I see that we also sell watering cans, I think I should pick one up along with a water hose. I think when the weather gets warm again I'm going to get much use out of all of this!

Sealy, Corsicana, Englander....Oh my!

How much do you really know about mattresses and how they affect your sleep? Did you know during the early part of sleep each night your brain recovers? Ever notice how hard it is to focus when you're sleepy? Well, sleep deprived people have one part of the brain that shuts down while other parts will kick in to compensate. So anytime you deprive yourself of sleep you make it harder not only on your body but also your brain. Let me offer a suggestion for those sleepless nights. Come to UFS Furniture Outlet and pick out a new mattress set!

We have mattresses on sale at UFS Furniture Outlet Center as I type.
A few pointers to keep in mind while shopping for a mattress is to make sure the new mattress has: support (The mattress should definitely support your body and cradle its curves.); comfort (The perfect mattress will be comfortable for your body.); space (There should be enough space for easy, free movement.); and comes in a matching set (We have so many mattress sets to choose from!). Some of the brands to choose from are Sealy, Corsicana, and Englander. Come in and do the SLEEP test. No, we don't want you to sleep on our mattresses in the store but we would love it if you come in and S-Select a mattress; L-Lie down in your sleep position; E-Evaluate the level of comfort and support; E-Educate yourself about each selection (We have excellent salespeople to help with this part!); P-Partners (if you have a sleeping partner) should try each mattress together. So what exactly is stopping you from coming down to our store and trying one out? Check our current newspaper advertisement or commercials, both of which have links on our homepage.

A Taste of France

Did you make it to our Bordeaux Wine Tasting last night? If not, you sure missed an exciting event. A little over 80 people came to taste phenomenal Bordeaux wines, socialize, and network. The wines were available to be bought as well at this tasting. It was a great opportunity for people to come out and try new wines to possibly add to their collections.

Not sure what Bordeaux wine is exactly? That's okay, I researched it for you just in case you didn't know. A Bordeaux wine is any wine produced in the Bordeaux region of France. According to my research, on average over 700 million bottles of wine are produced a year. 89% of wine produced in Bordeaux is red, while the other 11% is compiled of sweet white wines, dry white wines, sparkling wine and rosé. There are approximately 60 appellations of Bordeaux wine.

I hope that small description helps you. However, that's not the point here. The point is that if you are interested in trying new things and you like wine you should come to our next wine tasting. (Stay tuned. Details coming soon about that one!) This is my personal invitation to you to come join other wine drinkers young and old at our next tasting.
