Design In The Desert
As
we announced last month, we are in the process of planning our first
Southwest Seminar to be held September 29 and 30. We
hope you will share a fabulous fall weekend with us in Santa Fe where
green chiles will be roasting and we will be toasting our creativity
and
passion for design. While we are still in the process of planning
the weekend, we have included a list of topics Linda will discuss
during the
September retreat.
We
encourage you to make your hotel reservations as soon as possible as
the last weekend in September is the "Wine and Chile
Fiesta" in Santa Fe and many hotels are already booked. We have
reserved a block of rooms at both La Posada and the El Dorado Hotel in
historic
downtown Santa Fe but they are going fast. Check our website for
contact information and make your plans soon so you won't miss this
spectacular
weekend in Santa Fe.
In
addition to the seminar and fiesta, Santa Fe's famous Canyon Road
filled with historic adobes converted into over
90 fabulous art galleries hosts many openings on Friday night where you
can meet local artists, hear music and sample wine and wonderful
New
Mexican treats. Plus, the Santa Fe Design Center is open for
viewing fabulous furnishings, light fixtures, textiles, and accessories
on
Saturday, September 29th located close to the seminar hotels in downtown Santa Fe.
