It's my favorite time of the year--we've finally hit below 100 degrees, the sky is a beautiful blue with big, puffy white clouds, and you don't feel the sense of urgency to run from your car into the next air conditioned location. And with the change in temperatures outside, it's a subtle signal that the holidays are approaching. So, how are you preparing for the holidays?
On November 10th, Norwood is hosting our annual holiday tablescapes event. Every year Norwood holds this event to give our customers some new and fresh ideas about decorating for the holidays and provide you with the opportunity to purchase unique merchandise not seen in every store in town. It's a great way to get ideas about how to decorate your home and make it a warm, welcoming environment for your guests. This year's themes are "A Partridge and a Pear Tree", "Holly, Jolly Christmas", and "24K Christmas." There are some delightful ornaments, decorative focal pieces, folliage, and plenty of sparkle this year!
I'm heading up the "24K Christmas," which is all about the GOLD! Yellow gold is the primary focus of the presentation, however, there are gorgeous touches of white gold and rose gold as well. There's a fantastic antiqued gold sleigh that serves as the focal point of our table presentation. We're also incorporating elements hanging from the ceiling to give your presentation a true 3-dimensional environment.
The "Holly, Jolly Christmas" group has some fantastic pieces that harken an old-fashioned Christmas. Santa is the focal point of their particular presentation. They have antiqued glass ornaments that are exquisite. On my favorite ornament, the artisans have highlighted areas of Santa's outfit with various glitters and sequins along his trim to add a bit of texture and bling. There are really cute boxes, bins, and tubs that have wonderful antique images that make great gifts and can hold endless types of items.
"A Partridge and a Pear Tree" is a fun take on an older tradition. We've incorporated delightful pear trees that can truly be used year round and placed fantastically detailed partridges sitting in the pots. There is a gorgeous "12 Days of Christmas" glass ornament set that features a highly detailed ornament for each of the twelve days. It comes in a wooden storage box and makes a wonderful gift.
I hope this gets you excited about our upcoming event. If you'd like to attend, please call our receptionist to reserve your spot 480-892-0174. The night will be fun with food, decorating ideas, and a little shopping. Hope to see you there!
