Sunday, April 15th, 2012

The clock struck 12:00 … but instead of carriages turning into pumpkins, the doors of 31 North Banquets & Conference Center opened their doors to the McHenry County Bridal Group’s 3rd Annual Spring Bridal Expo. Brides-to-be were welcomed by a variety of 30 vendors — all local based business — that provided information on their products and services in an intimate and professional setting.

The expo was a one-stop-shop for brides to find some or all of the things they were looking for to make their wedding day a special one. We were pleasingly surprised to see that many brides were looking for a different and unique way to remember their day and found our event scrapbooking services to be an ideal solution for their bridal showers.

Thanks to everyone to stopped by our table — it was a pleasure meeting you and hope to hear from you in the future!

Holly & Sharon

This past weekend marked the 19th Annual Holiday Housewalk in Marengo, IL.   Artisians from the local community have the opportunity to display their holiday wares and are placed in various locations throughout the Marengo area.   A map provides a snapshot of where the locations are and how to get to them — some areas afford a walk through the neighborhood to get to the next stop, some locations require a short ride to get to.   Some of the Victorian home owners open their doors and invite the public to view the beauty of a day gone by and artisians are placed in each home.  Several businesses, churches and other organizations also do the same.  All total, this year’s event offered over 60 artisians — all offering a beautiful selection of things to buy.  Read More→
