We had a gorgeous room at the Loden - I was in awe of all those fabulous & talented people together in one space!

A shot where you can see my shoes {I'm the one wearing yellow}, only because I wanted to point out that while I loved them, I was about to die with every single step by the end of the night! Guess they need a bit more 'breaking into,' lol!

Our giveaway table was filled with goodies! Decor books and faucets from Delta Faucets, artwork and so many lovely items donated for door prizes ...

And yes, you may have spotted my print in the back there, I gave one away as a prize and was so thankful for all the postive feedback from others!

I drooled over this pillow that The Cross generously donated ... wish that one came home with me!!

Besides door prizes, everyone went home with a swag bag filed with goodies from Ikea, Para Paints, Benjamin Moore, Kerrisdale Design, Michelle Morelan, Heather Ross, and more!
The organizers had the chance to snap a photo with our special guests:
