The Winter Silhouette Bonsai Expo is coming! And just incase you're wondering; yes, Bill Valavanis is involved in this one too. Along with some talented friends...

This is the 7th year for this nationally recognized show. It is held in what is likely the most elegant location for a bonsai show - a 4 story marble lined atrium. Many say this is their favorite show of the year, where trees are exhibited in their winter best form.  Exhibitors and vendors come from all over the country.  Demos by world-class bonsai artists William Valavanis, Owen Reich, Tyler Sherrod and Rodney Clemons.  Bonsai auction Saturday evening.  Banquet dinner by reservation Saturday evening.

 Correction about our
TCS Bonsai & All-Purpose Scissors

If you read yesterday's newsletter, you know that the factory is not producing any more of our famous TCS Scissors this year and we don't yet know what the status is for next year

At the moment we wrote that, we were completely out and were not expecting any more. However, much to our surprise, right after we mailed the newsletter, we received four more boxes of these affordable little all-purpose gems. So we're not out yet. But I wouldn't wait. If you want any, they'll be gone soon enough. Here's your link
