This year's Holiday Extravaganza was probably the most successful party we've thrown. It didn't officially start until 5pm, but the guests started showing up around 4:15. We hadn't even had a chance to get all the food out onto the showroom floor before there was no room to move between sections of the store. It all worked out alright, though. We were finished setting up b y 6pm (haha!) and I'm not sure if anyone even noticed our snarling.

The Homescapes Posse:

(l to r) Mary Rose Villalpando, Keri Marion, Mitsuko Gammon,
Beau Lange, Kathy Apodaca, Leland Slarrow,
Edward Chiorazzi, Thompson Lange & Sally Higgins

We'll get to the party pictures in just a moment,
but before that, we have a little boasting to do....

The Carmel Chamber of Commerce named our window display "Best in Carmel"

... and of course, with Edward's creativity (and task-mastering) our "box tree" was the talk of the town - and even made the national trade mags.
