This boutique took a lot of time and planning but boy was it worth it! The week leading up to our boutique was fun, exciting, stressful and exhausting. We didn't know if we could pull it off, but with the help of our amazing family, friends and neighbors we did it. Lots of late hours and our house looking like a craft tornado hit but it was worth it. We would do it again and hopefully we will be soon.
Before we get to the total we wanted to share some pictures from the amazing day. I stole some pictures from family and friends, thank you!
This is just a small sampling of what our house looked like the day before. We are so grateful for all of those who crafted and baked their butts off to help us with our boutique.
The night before! These amazing ladies are some of my best friends and are the ones who kept me going when I wanted to give up. If we look a little tired it might be because we were up until about 2:00 a.m. organizing and tagging all of this awesome stuff. (left to right 1-Annie and I 2-Magz,

Just some of the amazing baked goods we sold. We had almost two tables full!
The set-up! We started out on our lawn but ended up moving to the garage as the clouds rolled in.
We had crafts, home decor, baked goods, popcorn and a fun ping pong prize game for the kids.
Some of the people who made this day possible. I wish we had a picture with all of you!

I wish I would have had more pictures of the marshmallow shooters we started out with 8 shooters which quickly sold so we took orders and ended-up making another 50 shooters!

This was so much more than we could have ever hoped and dreamed of raising!!
What an AMAZING day!! Like we always say thank you will NEVER be enough to express our gratitude. Baby Nicholes is becoming so much more than a dream.
