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:

We used it to display artwork, wooden crates, fairy houses and then some. To the right = soaps, lotions, candles, tissue covers, and more |
