{Sale Alert} Catch Spring Fever at Market Import’s Annual Sale

lisa — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:42:02 +0000

If I had a big ol’ budget to spend on a home makeover, I’d probably concentrate a large chunk of it on outdoor living. From April through October, I pretty much spend as many waking hours as possible outside (thank you, NC weather) and this month’s annual sale at Market Imports {Raleigh} makes me really want to start planning for a backyard overhaul…

According to Market Import’s website:

Market Imports, established in 2007, is located at the Garden Center at The State Farmers Market in Raleigh, North Carolina. In just a few years, Market Imports has become the largest supplier of home and garden accessories in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area. With over 2 acres of inventory including fountains, glazed pottery containers, and imported furniture, Market Imports is a destination for the homeowner and designer alike.
