Three HUGE things happened this week.
1. Vanguard Show House Preparation
2. Siena Women's Expo
3. OPENHOUSE
Lets start with the Vanguard showhouse...
There is a construction/contraction company in the capital district area that restores a beautiful multi-million dollar home each spring. Last years was in Loudonville, this year's is in Colonie. I will get a photo of the outside of it when I go back to clean the construction dust off of everything later this week. But for now you will have to be satisfied with interior photos of the room that Experience's interior decor team was in charge of. Any local interior designer who is interested contacts Vanguard and is assigned a room to decorate. This year's home wanted everything to be period dated, circa 1880's. Take a peek....

| This was an Italian carpenter doing some woodworking, he was the sweetest little thing, he reminded me of a canoli, ha, I never did catch his name, so I shall call him Luigi! |

Siena Women's Expo - Siena college hosted the first Annual Siena Women's Expo on their campus. Their state of the art gym held 150 vendors of goods that are directed towards the female consumer... so in essence it was like a huge slumber party with teenage girls. It was a good time. As a fellow vendor I got free passes for mani-pedis, hair and make up, clothes and jewelry coupons, free fried dough (hmmmm, yes like the kind at the county fair) as well as a few other things. We were booth #1, the first booth everyone saw as they entered, and we also decorated the entranceway.
