It takes a village

Our holiday party was soooo much fun!

It is amazing how much prep it takes to get ready for one of these events. Food, decorations, flyers, baskets, cute outfits, cocktails, cleaning, oh my!

Luckily, in the Evans family, we all work together. Sweet Peach made Limoncello, pine nut mini cakes, black pepper almonds (recipe courtesy of 6 Par Farmer's mother), and blue cheese, bacon, pecan cookies (and yes, you did just hear blue cheese and bacon and cookie in the same sentence. So good!). She also organized champagne cocktails with Limoncello (what a great idea courtesy of Kitty Lusse), and Chambord (always a crowd pleaser), hot apple cider, and other non-alcoholic options.

Sister (not sure what Sister's pseudonym is, but how is a girl supposed to keep up with all of these damn pseudonyms anyway? I think I called three different people by the wrong name last night. People I know quite well. Reattach head, please.) So anyway, Sister cleaned up the retail space to make space for Bon Lemon to squish in, created beautiful sale baskets, and was the cute pregnant girl. Flame Relief and Naughty N helped tag, sort, and shop. You know what they say, it takes a village.

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported your local skin and wax, jewelry and accessories shoppe. We appreciate it! And so does the Thurston Country Food Bank. We are making a big donation for the holidays.

Thanks!!!
