The Grove Park Inn
David Mathias, author of “Greene & Greene Furniture: Poems of Wood & Light,” posted a fine article on the historic Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina. The hotel will be hosting the annual Grove Park Inn Arts and Crafts Conference, February 18 through 20, 2011. While we won’t be in attendance this year, Mr. Mathias will be there. He’ll be holding a booksigning, sponsored by Style 1990, on Saturday, February 19, from 1:00 to 3:00. So if you plan to be at the conference do take a moment to stop by.
