Mother's Day Event
@my store, Talbot's Valley Fair...9am on saturday, may 5th.
we're opening early and offering tea and a continental breakfast/sweets, for our special Moms who shop with us.
:D
i'm really really excited about it. it's my baby, so i have to over analyse it to the Nth degree. ;)
To-Dos:
confirm scone type that mardi is bringing.
whether or not bobbie will be getting a fruit/cheese plate.
types of tea and how many pots?
acquire coffee traveler from starbuck's.
get hot water cannister or borrow one.
tableclothes, for our banquet tables.
buy my red dress...heehee, i have to Treat me, too, ya know!
finalize the guest list, expect double, since we are talking it up in store. (people who are going out of town that weekend, want to know if the Talbot's near to where they are going, are doing the same event...hahaha...don't they WISH! don't I wish! that would be rad!)
Confirm with tatiana, GM of JJill whether or not she's going to open early, like us, to get cross over traffic. :D
see if leslie is willing to bring in a teapot, as i only have 1 on hand...and mushroom coffee caraffe...but that may just have to work.
acquire invitations...maybe a gcertificate from Lisa's Tea Treasures and/or April Cornell.com.
Confirm with Mardi what i am allowed to spend on this.
Confirm with Mardi what baked goods to get from Gormet Express.com, so that my sister can pick it up.
Confirm with Mardi that Yes, I will be there, to help set up and host for two hrs. or so...before taking off with the girls,...unless my customers want me to stay.
go to mom's and acquire linens and tea related goodies.
maybe make that into the Gift Basket for the Mom who brings the Most Moms with her...as well as Lil' Gift Bags, for those who attend.
gift bags should number in at least 25.
whew...so much to do!!!
