A few weeks ago I got a kick-start to the holiday season and
participated in the Unionville Homes for
the Holidays House Tour, a charity event that raises money for two local
charities: The Varley-McKay Art Foundation of Markham and Breast Health Centre
and Cancer Clinic at Markham Stouffville Hospital. The Home Tour teams local
designers who decorate a home and then open their doors to over 2000 visitors.
Since 2002 the event has raised over $500,000 for its charities!
Having volunteered for this event in the past, I was truly
honoured to be asked to participate this year as a business owner. I also had
the great fortune of being paired up with an incredible team of designers,
store and generous home owners, who were all a pleasure to work with.
Sometimes I don’t know how I would get things done if it
weren’t for my amazing friends and family… so of course a BIG HUGE thanks to a
whole slew of people: P&G, Tim, Pat,
Steph, SG, the Homes for the Holidays Committee, Fran, and the lovely ladies
from La Belle! It was a great and successful weekend – and I was so happy to be
able to donate my time to such worthwhile charities.
I absolutely LOVE all the flowers and greenery! Great job Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI love the look that you created in your house, so fresh and current. This a
ReplyDeleteIs ad great kick start and inspiration for me to start my holiday decorating. It's great that a small business owner will take the time and incur the cost of supporting a worthwhile charity.
I'm not surprised on your fantastic job with this house and event. You're SO talented and this was a perfect example and a great way to display it for everyone to see!
