A Holiday Christmas Party

December 14, 2018

We had a special invite to Mid City Salon’s client appreciation Christmas Party last Thursday night in Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. With Christmas coming around the corner fast, we thought downtown would be a festive sight. And indeed it was! All the holiday light displays were magical and hypnotizing. There’s something about the hustle and bustle of the streets that scream excitement and wide eyed wonder to me. Being a country gal, I don’t get into the city very often, but when I do it always feels like the first time.

We set up our table and mingled with the guests. What we’ve come to learn is it’s not how many books you sell or how much money you make, it’s all about sharing stories and bringing joy into someone’s life. We met so many wonderful and unique friends that night. After all, no one’s a stranger after the first hello. So we laughed and drank and shared stories.

After a while, we drove back to our small but growing town. The night was cold and the sky clear. The stars sparkled and reflected like diamonds on The Great Salt Lake as we passed by. Peace and contentment, that was our inner feelings that night. It may not have been a big sales night, but we were rich in love.

Until next time, Merry Christmas & God bless……Cb

Fall Brunch & Boutique

Last weekend I had the opportunity to spend time with my friend Laurie and some other amazing talented women. They were doing a Fund Raiser for a Baby Orphanage in Tanzania and invited me help raise money for those in need. Laurie’s sister, Linda, had spent 6 months there and felt she just had to do something to help the children.

A variety of items were designed by Linda. She and her sisters have been blessed with a special gift for sewing that I sure can’t compete with. I can hardly sew a pillow case. Some of the items were aprons, tea towels, baby blankets, burp cloths, shawls, jackets, totes, swim bags, pillows, and the list goes on. Each one a beautiful piece of artwork. There was also a gorgeous quilt being auctioned off.

People came and went. We ate and drank, told stories and laughed. I saw friends I hadn’t seen in years. It felt good to be a part of it all, like a big sorority of sorts. The best part being for a good cause.

I did my part. It only took me 5 hours to pick out 2 beautiful aprons and some other things. I just hate it when there’s such a variety of nice things to choose from. I can never make up my mind, I just love everything!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the ones you love! Til next time, God Bless.
