Holiday Open House, Part 2

Wanted to make sure you got to see some more pictures of the Holiday Open House. The Snowman cookie jar raffle was a huge success. For every 5 e-mail addresses you gave me, I entered you into the drawing for the cookie jar. I'll draw the name tomorrow because I have a couple more people who are still sending in addresses.



My favorite decoration this year is the 'party sheep.' I love them! They are so cute, and the color goes with the vintage style so well. We almost sold out during the open house so Heather had to make 18 more. At $6, they are a bargain.

Well, we just finished our 5th annual Holiday Open House and I think it was our best one yet! Lori from Tastefully Simple and Heather came out and helped provide the food and goodies (which was wonderfully delicious). We had such a good day, thanks to all our wonderful friends for stopping by and shopping.
It's funny though because the girls and I worked late all week and especially Friday to get ready for the sale and we still only got about 50% of Christmas out.

After Halloween











It has been an amazing Halloween season. I started with about 10 boxes of Halloween items and I just finished packing up all pieces still here and it only came to 1 1/2 boxes. Wow! I'm hoping it means that people are starting to spend again (slowly) and that I made some good choices on all the decorations I picked. I thought I would add some pictures to just wrap up the Halloween season before I dive into Thanksgiving and Christmas.
