]]> Shannon-vt-furniture-fundraiserWe are delighted to introduce you to Shannon Albritton, our newest Green Team member here at Vermont Woods Studios Furniture.  Shannon's official title is: Sales Ace and Customer Champion.  She'll be here along with Rebecca to answer your phone calls, place/track orders and arrange shipping. 

Shannon's from Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  Her background includes extensive experience in sales and marketing positions and she loves helping customers figure out how to get exactly what they're looking for.  Shannon's husband is a talented woodworker so she brings a detailed knowledge of woodworking, furniture styles, joinery and finish options with her. 

She's also a passionate environmentalist who walks the talk in every aspect of her life.  She's been inspiring us to keep improving our sustainable practices at work and at home too.  Today she got Manjula and me up from our computers in the middle of the afternoon to go outside for a "7th inning stretch".  It felt so good that now we're trying to get her to lead an after hours yoga class :)

We are very lucky to have Shannon on board! When you're talking to her about your furniture order, maybe ask her about her hiking career (she hiked a portion of the Na Pali Coast in Kauai barefoot).  I think that's probably only one of many good stories she has to tell.

]]> Vermont-furniture-staffWe finally managed to get everybody on our staff together for a photo in our office-showroom at Vermont Woods Studios Fine Furniture.  Well, most of us anyway.  The student interns (aka our children) were all attending high school and college at the time.  But tthey are an important part of our success so hopefully we'll be able to take another snapshot during Christmas vacation and update you then.  For now, your Sustainable Furniture Team consists of:

We'd like to thank Carey Earle, Chief Idea Farmer at Green Apple Marketing for her help and creativity in penning our new About Us page.  For the most part, everything she wrote is really true ;)
