CHAIRS FOR CHARITY - CELEBRITY #2

THE MAYOR PETER FASSBENDER CHAIR

Yesterday we introduced you to our first CHAIRS FOR CHARITY CELEBRITY, STARBUCKS. Today, let me introduce you to our second celebrity, Mayor Peter Fassbender, the Mayor of the City of Langley.

Mayor Fassbender has requested his chair to be in the colours of our city of course! Elinor and I have put our heads together and are excited to report that we will be starting this make-over with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Napoleonic Blue. That is all the hints for now, but stay tuned for the before and after photos and remember this chair, as well as many others will be up for auction the evening of October 27th at our CHAIRS FOR CHARITY event, with all proceeds going to the Langley Christmas Bureau.

CHAIRS FOR CHARITY - IN THE BEGINNING

The date for our "CHAIRS FOR CHARITY" event is quickly approaching, so it is time to get to work. We have our line up of chairs just waiting to be transformed and we have secured all of our "CELEBRITIES", so let the fun begin.

Here is a sneak peak of some of our donated chairs, just waiting for some love!

We are very pleased and excited to announce our first "CELEBRITY" chair...
THE STARBUCKS CHAIR!

Yes, you heard that right, our friends at the Starbucks Power Centre location in Langley have graciously donated this comfy, conversation, coffee drinking chair to our auction with all proceeds going to the Langley Christmas Bureau. So, since this location has recently closed, you have the opportunity to take home a bit of "Starbucks history" be sure to mark your calendar on October 27th, 6:30pm-8pm.



Starbucks is all about community, so they have not only donated this chair, but they will also be at The Passionate Home the evening the "CHAIRS FOR CHARITY" event, serving up their very best.

THANK YOU Starbucks for being our first "CHAIR FOR CHARITY"!

A SUCCESSFUL DAY AT THE MARKET

The Fieldstone Vintage Market was an amazing day, thank you to Birch & Bird Home Interiors and Bakerview EcoDairy for hosting this event.

This is how The Passionate Home booth looked almost the entire day and as you can see, it was a busy day! Not only that, but I am not a great photographer! So, in order for you to experience the true beauty of the day, please take a moment and view this amazing short video by Sharalee Prang.

You can also visit Fieldstone Vintage Market for other links and "GOOD" photos of the day or join Donna from Funky Junk Interiors, as she enjoys her day at the show.

Thank you to everyone who came by the booth, who took a moment to learn about Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and who made our day so special.

CHAIRS FOR CHARITY

In the spirit of the holidays The Passionate Home "Family" likes to give back to the community. This year we are very excited to host our first "CHAIRS FOR CHARITY" event.

What this means is that we are looking for donations of unwanted dining chairs; they must have a fabric seat, wood back and be good and solid.

The Passionate Home will lovingly restyle these chairs into "Celebrity Themed" works of art and auction them off with all proceeds going to the Langley Christmas Bureau.

Our live auction will take place at The Passionate Home the evening of October 27.

(was he just trying to be funny!)
