Even if you aren't planning on putting your house up for sale for a few months, let Stage Mothers take the guess work out of the process and schedule a verbal consultation with us. Now is the time!!!

I am very excited to announce our participation at the annual "Surroundings" Open House on November 22nd. The party lasts from 1PM until 4PM

This fabulous gift shop is unique in that it has a variety of wonderful items to suit every occassion that fits every budget. I have been shopping here for years and have gotten to know the wonderful women who are behind the magic at Surroundings, Marcia and Carol.

They have been kind enough to ask me to display my custom wreaths during this one day event. For those of you who have bought wreaths from me before you know that no two are alike. I will also be available to take any custom orders that you may want. If you like a particular wreath but would like a different color we can do that. If you have a particular hobby or sports team or family memory such as baby's first Christmas, or "Our First House" that you want commerorated, we can do that as well. Of course if you like one wreath and want a mate for the other door, no problem.

If you can't make it to this open house then you may contact me through the website to arrange a meeting so that we can create the one holiday decoration that sets you apart. 

Surroundings is located at 4100 Carmel Rd. in the Old Towne Center at the corner of Carmel Road and Quail Hollow, right next to Starbucks in Charlotte.

Well, I have been lucky to make another trip to Europe; this time my daughter and I spent four AMAZING days in Prague!

I purchased a lot of great artwork, along with some stunning Czech Crystal pieces that  this fascinating city is known for, which I will place in my staged homes. I am also perusing the Christmas booths in Prague and Berlin (yes, they are already up) and finding all sorts of gorgeous decorations for my custom wreaths and Christmas trees for holiday staging. I'm also shopping for some light fixtures and furnishings.

My daughter and her husband are relocating back to the States in November, so I'm not sure when I will get back here, but I have enjoyed every moment of my trips. Prague is such a surprise and the people are warm and friendly. I hope to come back soon.

I  am offerring complimentary verbal stagingto those real estate agents who book a staging with me. If I do a verbal staging which is $150 value, and the client then wants me to stage the home I will apply the verbal staging fee to the hands on staging fee.
This may be just the incentive needed to motivate the seller. This offer is good through Sept 5th, 2009.  Call for an appointment.

Many thanks to Butch Austin and Shane Carpenter for inviting me to the weekly breakfast sales meeting at Coldwell Banker United. Everyone was receptive and gracious. I toured a property with one the agents a few hours later and really appreciate this opportunity.
Thanks to all!
