Anyone familiar with them? I might be doing an open house where one of their reps might be there. Are they competition for us? I know they do decorating stuff but not real sure what else.
 
I believe they also sell "stoneware" although it doesn't look as nice as ours...IMHO. Check out their website.
 
I am actually hosting a SL@H party in October - they have beautiful (but WAY overpriced) home decor...they have some metal bakeware that is totally unimpressive and a lot of serving pieces that are gorgeous.
