LH Garden Club Mailbox Toppers & Swags
Unlike retail stores, it is the time for us to think about how we will decorate for the holidays…not have them up already. But that is a conversation for another day.
The Lakemoor Hills Garden Club has an answer for some of your exterior decorating decisions. They are again offering those beautiful Mailbox Toppers and Swags for your Front Door or Mailbox Post. They will even install them if you need assistance.
Attached is the order form which explains your order and pickup process. Also here is a picture including images of both the mailbox toppers & door charms.
All proceeds go to the LH Garden Club to help us enhance the neighborhood. Thanks for your support.
With lights to dazzle…
And then the night comes alive…With lights to dazzle…
And everything’s extraordinary…Nothing is left ordinary
These are the poetic words from our secret panel judging our Lakemoor Hills neighborhood for the Holiday Spirit Awards. Was it lights or the wine? We don’t know but we do know that Y’all have really come alive with Christmas Decorations. So alive that the 3 Holiday Spirit Awards presented every year has been increased to 4. And honorable mentions use to only get the small print in the FB post WE NOW HAVE SIGNS!
