The Christmas at Victoria Mansion Gala was held on December 4th, and lots of folks turned out to see the holiday decorations done by local designers. Three of the rooms were decorated by businesses in Saco/Biddeford this year. Blue Elephant designed the Green Bedroom, The Field Mouse Gifts decorated the Sitting Room, and The Kymara Gallery (located in the North Dam Mill, in Biddeford) decorated the Dining Room. The house looked fantastic, the food was plentiful, and a good time was had by all. Christmas at Victoria Mansion runs through December 31st. Don’tmiss!

The Blue Elephant catered at a great facility in Portland this week. Vintner’s Wine Cellar, at 1037 Forest Avenue is more than just a fantastic wine shop - they actually make all of the more than 30 available wines on site. Owner Heidi Mahoney has created a cozy tasting room that offers visitors a chance to relax and sample some of our area’s finest wines. For more information or to set up a tasting, visit the website at www.mainevintners.com .

Thanks to Saco Spirit’s design committee for the new snowflakes and other holiday decorations in downtown Saco. These are a couple of photos of our corner of downtown, in Pepperell Square. We share the building with the Field Mouse Gifts and the Saco Frame Center, and we had a great time decorating the individual storefronts. More to come!

Blue Elephant was pleased to cater another private function at the People’s Choice Credit Union this week. Thanks to the great PCCU staff for being so welcoming and allowing us to use this great function space.
