The open house went off without a hitch! I had so much help and just had a blast putting this together and then getting to meet all the folks I talk to daily!
The theme for our event is displayed below on our LARGE display areas above reception.
Great space, great design and great people, enough said. Isn't the reception desk beautiful? The wood is reused wood from the demo on the building. it's 100+ year old beams that they re tooled into this facade and our stairs.
I think by the amount of junk in my office it proves we're getting ready for some shindig! This was RIGHT before safeway called me to tell me that my ice would be late. I enjoyed screaming at them.
My list midway through the day, all crossed off and delegated! Wohoo!
The BIG prize baskets, I made three that included a blown glass vase from glassworks (our neighbor), salami from Salumi (our neighbor), a beautiful handcarved cutting board from NW Woodworks (our neighbor), Dry soda (our neighbor), cookies from Grand Central Bakery (our neighbor), a WONDERFUL journal on being creative and a book on keeping green and a gorgeous silver tray from fireworks (our neighbor) and a book called Sons of the Profits which I cannot suggest more highly! It's fantastic! from Elliott Bay Books (also our neighbor) note a theme here? Everything for the baskets came from a 2 block radius of our office. What a great place we're in!
Our thankyou tags all attached
The baskets and the display wine all ready for the party!
part of the timeline displayed on the wall. What fun I had researching this building built in 1902. Fantastic heritage!
Our brand new hanging baskets. If you've never seen Pioneer Square all beautified, you should come down NOW!

Sons of the Pioneers is a jaded, funny history of the beginnings of Seattle, from one man's view. It is a good read--but isn't always exactly historically correct! I laughed many times while I read it.
(For those of you who didn't know this interesting fact about Kim--her family were some of the Dennys and Bakers which were early pioneers of Seattle)
