Did you know that at the EC we have a Something Borrowed Closet? During your event set up, you can check out a variety of items and then leave at the end of your event for us to check back in. We have lanterns, table numbers, mirrors, floral and greenery, vases, frames, baskets, signs, and a whole lot of other things for you to BORROW!

Below are some recent displays that were made using items from our closet. The first photo is made from all of our items. In the second photo, the mirror and love sign were from the closet.

Do you remember the disappointment of waiting too long to have a conversation with that special person about going to prom and they wound up going with someone else?
Book your special date in 2025 before someone else does.

Cancelled…for now!

Due to lack of interest and timing, we have decided to postpone this event to possibly fall or spring.

Who is ready for another yard sale??? This time it’s KIDS STUFF ONLY!!!! Spaces are limited and we must receive a paper copy with payment to reserve your space.

Did you know that at the EC all potential clients get a packet of vendor info when they tour our facility? This gives them a head start in finding a cake, florist, hotel, caterer and more!

If you have a service or something to sell, get me cards or brochures and I’ll include them in our packets!

I’m on vacation this week in the Dominican Republic. Seeing lots of “just married” couples. As someone who eloped and went to Memphis on her honeymoon (almost 30 years ago), my biggest advice now would be…take that beach/tropical honeymoon. I bet you won’t regret it!

Toying with the idea of having a Buy My KIDS Stuff Sale either July 20th or Sept. 14th. Booths would be available for purchase just like our yard sale a few weeks ago, but everything must be kid related…clothes, toys, furniture, supplies, bedding, etc.

Is there enough interested in people selling their stuff? Which date do you prefer? Comment below!
