Champagne and Cupcakes Anniversary Celebration

Well, it has been just over a month since our 10th anniversary Champagne and Cupcakes Celebration benefiting Cancer Navigators of Rome.  I planned on writing a blog post to chronicle this event, but with setting up Perfect Home for the holidays and the usual fall rush of design projects, it just didn’t happen.  Actually, this is the ideal time to share since our actual anniversary was on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

When I came up with the idea of a special party to celebrate our ten year milestone, I never dreamed it would be such a success!  So many of our loyal customers and clients attended, along with many new faces.  It was truly a celebration, exactly what I wanted it to be!

Champagne…..

and Cupcakes!!!

The store was dressed to the nines.  So many new goodies arrived just days before so April Smith, my right hand “girl”, and I were putting on the finishing touches up to the last minute.  We cleaned up pretty well, considering.

This celebration was held to benefit Cancer Navigators of Rome, a wonderful local organization that does exactly what the name says, helping folks navigate their ways through the resources available to them during a challenging time.  I was thrilled that we raised over $500 to help such a worthwhile group.

 

The charming ladies of Cancer Navigators.

I hope you will take a minute to scroll through a few of the photos from that night.  I’m sure you will recognize some familiar faces.

 

Keri Smith and Monique Watson

All three of these ladies were winners that night!  Delores Nance {left} won a $400 Surya rug.  Brenda Bowen, {center} won a basket of candles and diffusers from Woodwick Candles, and Evelyn Montgomery {far right} won a $100 gift certificate.  I wonder if they had any idea they were going to win  when this photo was taken!

Dr. Bannester Harbin was my door prize assistant.  Good job, Dr. Banney!

Tonya Davis from BDD Consulting… marketing guru… couldn’t have done it without her!

Here are a few more images from that night.  Enjoy.

My sweet  Jill Burnes Goode who worked with me for many years until she left for marriage, motherhood and law school.  I was so happy she, her husband Derrell and adorable baby, Charlotte Ellen came from Montgomery for this special night. 

Precious little Charlotte in her fall finery!

One last photo…..

My team!!!  It never would have happened without these ladies.  From the left, Tonya Davis of BDD Consulting who pulled this all together; April Smith who keeps me organized and orderly {most of the time}; my “niece” Alison Smith of Perfect Dress who carries on the bridal tradition I started in 1978 and the ever efficient Monique Watson of BDD Consulting and Honeymoon Bakery…yum!  I am so blessed to have them in my life.   These girls make every day a celebration! 

Thanks to everyone who attended and supported Champagne and Cupcakes. And a special thanks to all my loyal customers and design clients, who I now consider friends. I feel so blessed to have been in business for 35 years, first with The Wedding Belle and the past ten at Perfect Home. As we all know, the past few years have been challenging for most businesses and I are so grateful to our community for continuing to shop with us, as well as other local businesses. Remember… shop small and SHOP ROME!

Thank you all for supporting Perfect Home these past ten years… and here’s to many more!

Perfect Home… for the Holidays {Part Two}

Who’s ready for more Perfect Home all decked out for Christmas?  If you didn’t see my last post, scroll down and see what you missed.  There was just way too much to share for one post, I know you don’t have all day to peruse my blog, if you are like me you are lucky to have even  a few minutes for such indulgences.  I hope you will take the time to see what we have created for this holiday season.  It’s  time to deck your halls so I hope you will be inspired by our holiday ornaments and adornments.  If you like what you see, please stop by Perfect Home for a visit.  This year on “Black Friday” after Thanksgiving, as well as Small Business Saturday, we will be celebrating our 10th Anniversary and have lots of surprises {meaning a BIG sale!} in store.  It will be the PERFECT time to visit Perfect Home!  Enjoy….

Our snowy tree is back this year.  It was a big hit last year.

Of course, we have our Mark Roberts fairies, but they are going fast!

Love this fella!

New this year is Ala Carte Alice, yummy gourmet goodies.

Returning are Woodwick Candles in all the holiday scents.  If you haven’t tried them, you need to… they are wonderful and actually crackle as they burn.

Here is a small sampling of our nifty gifties!

Or maybe you want to buy yourself a gift…. how about a little something for your own “Perfect Home”.

I hope you have enjoyed your virtual visit to Perfect Home.  Of course, pictures never do us justice this time of year, so you will have to plan to stop by and see us in all our holiday finery.  Please visit us soon!

Wishing you all a Happy, Happy Holiday Season,

A Few of my Favorite Rooms

While attempting to clean out my sadly unorganized  photo files I ran across a few rooms that still make me swoon.  This is why my files are never organized!  I thought instead of working through this never ending task, it would be way more fun to share a few photos with all of you.  Don’t expect any rhyme or reason to this post, just pretty pictures.  That’s why we look at blogs anyway, isn’t it?

Love the  café curtains…. and that coffee table… and the club chairs… and…..and…

Check out this ottoman, have you ever??  The sectional is curved and that’s not something you see often.  Obviously this is all custom made and oh, so pretty.

The color of these walls is just so serene, and I love the use of all neutral upholstery

So serene.  Love the pair of chests topped with mirrors.

A classic and comfortable room.  Love the bed and the textured basket under the console table.

My favorite color palette, well one of them.  I am just finishing a project using blues with sea green and creams… such a beautiful combination.  Notice the color of the side chairs.  It needs that touch of unmatched color to make it work, otherwise the look goes flat if all the blues are just the same.

 

More blues and creams.  The touch of black keeps this room from floating away.

Blues and creams, I just can’t stop!

Here is a change of pace, this color combo is so vibrant and fun… love it!

OK, back to the real world of working through these photo files.  Thank you for indulging me in my moment of design distraction.
