Party On!

This past Saturday the folks at Circle Furniture brushed off their dancing shoes and partied down! Yes, we were celebrating our annual holiday bash as we do every year, but this one was particularly special. Why? It was so much fun to say goodbye to 2009. Don't get me wrong, really good things happened this past year. Here's a few.

We started 2009 by opening a brand new GORGEOUS store in Pembroke - What's that, you've not been? Why not take a trip South this weekend? Bundle up for a delightful walk through World's End in Hingham - one of the most romantic places to go for a winter stroll! After your inspiring walk hit the Pembroke store for our huge January Sale, then finish off your day with a fabulous dinner at Orta (right next to the store)!

In May we hosted "The Art Of Decorative Placement" at the Danvers showroom. It was a wonderful night where local North Shore artists displayed their works paired with Circle's transitional and contemporary lines of furniture. We celebrated the arts in full force that night!

September brought us the vivacious and talented Libby Langdon who gave a presentation to a packed house of "libby-heads". We laughed, drank chardonnay, and took notes as Libby spoke about the challenges of decorating for small spaces. We learned a lot that night!

There was a sea of Pink at our "Pink Party" in Framingham this past October where we hooted and hollered to raise money for The Ellie Fund. Again...a grand time had by all.

Personally we celebrated as well. Michelle had an adorable baby boy named Boston (yes, he's named Boston, for real)! Moise, one of our most-excellent warehouse team members, also had a little-cutie-baby-boy named Moise Jr. Heather is in love. Margo got engaged. Sonja's husband returned from Iraq. Ann's daughter got married. Max finished another film coming to a theater near you! Rich rode his first Pan Mass. Harold led the Circle Furniture team in The Rodman Ride for Kids. Donna, Richard, Pat and Troy were named "Circle Positive Deviants" for 2009. Jonathan won "Employee of the Year". A lot of good things happened for sure!

Our drink of choice graduated from classic chardonnay to down and dirty vodka martinis. The economy; did it bring us down? Maybe we stumbled here and there, but we came out stronger in the end. We've learned a lot and we're looking forward to smooth sailing in 2010.
