I know that this post is so belated! I’m not sure what we were thinking by having a grand opening during our busiest season! I’ve been dying to get some of these pictures posted from Friday nights grand opening but have been inundated with sessions. So…it’s about time for me to thank each and every one of you for coming to celebrate our opening. We had well over 80 people stop by during the evening!! I was completely taken aback by all of the wonderful friends, family and photography families that stopped in and celebrated with us. You know that I love you all!! I wish I had more pictures to share but of all things this photographer forgot to take pictures :). I was so caught up with friends and wonderful conversation that it completely slipped my mind to take some photos of the event. Thankfully my sweet daughter picked up the camera and snapped a few images of the evening (please excuse the fact that most of the pictures are of her and her friends :)). Nonetheless, it was so thoughtful of her to pick up where I obviously had failed. Love you darlin!!!
I do have to give a standing O to Kris Warren and her uber talented daughter Tory of KWarren Designs for their amazing catering skills. Everyone is still talking about their culinary delights :). If you’re looking for a skilled caterer email Kris at flowersbykris(at)wowway.com. Also major kudos to Andrew Parravano of Andrew’s Garden. His floral arrangements were to die for. If you need floral arrangements for the holidays or for a special event he is your man.
It’s also time to start announcing our 14 days of giveaways!!! I would normally leave the best for last (Alicia’s Photography session and 11×14 canvas) hee hee! But, I was thinking that maybe this family would like to squeeze in a session before the holidays. So here goes…….drum roll please……
The winner of the Alicia’s Photography family session and 11×14 canvas (value of $510) is….
Lisa Bruce
