Joy to the world!

Thank you, thank you, and once more, thank you!!!

Thank You to everyone who participated in our Holiday Boutique yesterday.  We were so very lucky to have over 60 incredible vendors brave the rainy weather to join us for a wonderful afternoon!

There were so many beautifully displayed products, it was was truly a shoppers' paradise.  And I can definitely say, that more than a few people I know have been able to cross-off most of the names from their holiday shopping lists because of the wonderful selection of merchandise available.  Of course, that would include my 8 year old daughter too!!!  Grandma's getting a mug, daddy's got a card waiting for him, and big sister will have a marshmallow shooter sticking out of her stocking!  That's not to say that the little angel didn't pick out several goodies for herself... hair clips, pencils, cupcakes and a pair, or two, of earrings.  I'm just happy that Daddy sent to with her own money! :) 

It was so nice to see all of our wonderful vendors and shoppers enjoying themselves as they mingled with, and shopped from, each other.   

Alicia and I wish you all a very happy holiday season, and look forward to seeing you all next year!

Best wishes,

Sue-Anne

PS - look for our invitation to the 2013 Holiday Boutique in September of next year!
