Greetings! You may remember us from previous posts such as Nov. 4th - Pictures of Pumpkins - that's right it's been over a month since our last post - THE REASON! = we've been focused on our OTHER blog
http://finchsboutique.blogspot.com/ and creating a 2-day Boutique in the new house.
After a few weeks of preparing the house, collecting fab product from over 50 participating artists and designers, we put on a pretty darn good boutique.
- We were visited by over 130 shoppers - that's a lot of traffic for our place!
- Sales = over $7k
- Over $500 raised for The American Cancer Society through out participant donations
-...and spent most of our earnings on cool stuff at the boutique (some for gifts...but mostly for us and the house...)
Even though I promised to share photos of the product projects we were working on for the sale - and failed - I will attempt to make it up to you by sharing pics of our transformed living room/dining room:
