It's "Pretty In Pink" at Shellee Comer's Silver Lining

Bentala Salon

No room for a tree at Bentala Salon located at 224 South Caswell in Charlotte but we did have a little space to create this beautiful mantle piece with golds & reds.

At La Vida Mocha the Stockings are now hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St. Nicholas will soon be there.

Duke's Grill has visions of Hamburgers, Hot Dogs & French Fries dancing in their heads.

Panache Designs created this cute little wall tree for Duke's Grill. It has cheeseburgers, hot dogs, French fries, Coke bottles, eggs & milk ornaments. Dennis Parker, owner of one of Monroe's oldest establishments loved the tree. Stop by and get yourself one of the BEST hamburgers in town and check out his tree. They are open Tues - Sat. 6:00 AM - 2:00 PM and are located at the corner of Phifer St & Concord Ave. (Beside Benton Heights School)

A Wickedly Wonderful Tree

This Wickedly Wonderful Tree was created for LaVida Mocha as they celebrate Halloween. What fun it was to work with rats, bats, skeletons, witches & goblins.

Stop by LaVida Mocha for a great cup of coffee during the month of October and check out the tree.

ONLY 81 MORE DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Mele Kalikimaka

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say,
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day,
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway,
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright,
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night,
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say "Merry Christmas to you."

This design was so much fun to work with. It consisted of a an 8ft palm tree decorated with cute little flamingos, tropical fish and even a kiddie swimming pool underneath the tree with sand. It is on display at LaVida Mocha Coffee Shop in the Market Square Shopping Center and will be there thru Labor Day. Stop by to get a great cup of coffee, meet Burak, Irem & Chad and check out the tree. This tree is for rent or for sale. If interested please let me know.

A Very Special Thank You

Hello Everyone - thank you so very much for stopping by to check out my blogspot. I'm honored you were here. There are many friends and family members that I need to thank for all of their love and support to me as I began this venture by "Faith" in March. First of all, I would like to thank the Lord for this wonderful opportunity He has given me to start this new business. I pray that I will always glorify Him in everything that I do because He is the "Real Reason for the Holiday Season" To my wonderful bosses - Jim & Amy thank you for your patience & support for letting me do ALOT of prep work while on their time clock. To Jim for introducing me to the word "Panache" and for his willingness to take the beautiful pictures of each of my designs. To Burak, Irem & Chad for promoting me and their great support. To Nancy for helping me with the typeface and slogan for my business. To Derrick for his endless hours of taking the typeface and slogan and putting it into the perfect logo because I was so dang picky. To my special friend Myra who did the layout for my blog and has taught me how to use the blog. To my best friend Shellee who has helped so tremendously with the in's and out's of the buying market and to my wonderful sister, Cindy who has been a huge encourager the whole way. I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH and couldn't have done this without you!

Celebrating Christmas in July

I'm sure it's really hard for each of you to even begin to think about Christmas while we're having these 80, 90 & even 100 degree temperatures. But as of today we only have 178 more days until then. It will be here before you know it and I'm always like a little child anxiously waiting for it!

When I began this venture 4 months ago I thought launching the business in July with a "Christmas in July" theme would be perfect. La Vida Mocha coffee shop was so gracious to offer to promote my business by choosing a patriotic themed tree for their shop. I've included in the post titled "La Vida Mocha Celebrates Christmas in July Slideshow", which is below, some pictures of their patriotic tree. Also in each of my other posts are a few shots of some other designs, please be sure to check them all out if you have the time. Unfortunately I didn't have a great deal of digital photos to include for my launch and the 35mm ones that I had scanned didn't look very good. So keep checking back with me as I add more photos to the blog.

During the middle of this month I will have the opportunity to travel to one of the world's largest buyer's mart, to check out the latest trends for the 2008 holiday season. I'm very excited to see all the décor that will be there and available to purchase for my clients.
