Happy New Year to all the Rose growers! May the New year bring you lots of blooms! I am going on my 9th year here at the rose Forum!! I have learned so much from everybody, and still learning. All of you guys are great to have around. I just love everyone here, from the rose veterans who have been here as long as I have to the new ones who come and go. Happy New Year! Carrie =^..^=

Thanks, Min! I was about to call you out by name, actually, even though I have never witnessed you in the act. And do you mean to say that other people have a life beyond Gardenweb? wcgypsy, you're a brave soul. I celebrated the New Year by pruning four hybrid tea roses. They retaliated. I'm going to attack the floribundas today after I am done frittering away my time on Gardenweb. I hope your weather is as nice as ours is today. Renee

You have stumbled upon the hidden gem of fitted furniture makers in the UK.... I was in NYC several years ago on a project and met the owner and one of the PM's from Artichoke (they were working on the unit next to the one I was working on), I would think that there are maybe a few people on this board that have ever seen work like these guys do.. We are considered one of the so called "higher end" developer/builder in our area....and I had never seen work like they do, something you would really have to see to appreciate...real old world craftsman for sure We have worked with Smallbones/Peacock/Wilkinson etc and it does not come close to the workmanship that Artichoke creates...spend some time on their website/houz/twitter etc and check out the work As for the posted kitchen, sure it may not be the most practical layout for the average person....but for the client that owns the house that this kitchen is in, I would think that they could care less about how practical it is

SAME TO YOU!!! Been sick lately but better and I hope you all have a better year or one as good as the last! Mike
