Coming soon!! Our annual Christmas Open House will be in less than three weeks--November 6, 7and 8. For those who aren't familiar with this, we began over 25 years ago having an offsite open house to launch our holiday decorations and gifts along with lots of vintage items from our European trips. This tradition was started by recreating the actual start of Aux Belles Choses. My sister Anne and I took a trip to Europe to shop for vintage items and had a pop-up sale at my then home. Everyone loved what we had bought and that encouraged us to open the shop on Magazine Street. Later we decided to continue that tradition by having an open house at different family members' homes when they were available, often because someone was moving. . After Katrina and my move to Trianon Plaza, my basement became the perfect location because it provides loads of storage space and the ability to work on decorating late into the night. It's always a fun event with a great turnout. I'll be posting previews of what you'll find at the open house.
