FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Kansas City, Mo – October 18, 2007
Noted Designer and Living Large Radio
Host Karen Mills to Design Holiday Christmas Tree Display for
the Junior League’s 20th Anniversary Holiday Mart in Kansas
City.
The Junior League of Kansas City has
asked well known interior designer and Living Large host Karen
Mills to decorate a Christmas tree for the 20th Anniversary
Holiday Mart held October 18- 21st in the Overland Park Convention
Center. The Christmas tree display features an inverted tree
(upside down) suspended from the top of a gazebo that appears
to float over an intimate table for two. Located by the escalator
that takes attendees up to the Holiday Mart entrance, the display
conjures up images of an enchanted snow covered forest as attendees
pass by. Holiday Mart is the biggest fundraiser each year for
the Junior League and this year’s Holiday Mart will also
feature piano great, Jim Brickman.
Mills asked local merchant, Kristen Cravens
of Serendipity Accents, to assist by providing the decorations.
Mills confided, “I feel privileged to be part of this
Junior League fundraiser and wanted to think outside the box
by displaying a unique tree that would help drive traffic to
the mart. I talked with Kristen and she came up with the wonderful
idea of hanging the tree from a gazebo.” Mills and Cravens
worked together yesterday to design this one of a kind display
for the Holiday Mart that begins today.
Mills also featured Holiday Mart co-chairs
Heather Harper and Theresa Uchytil-Etler on her show, Living
Large, to promote their annual fundraiser. Besides hosting Living
Large, Mills designs interiors, writes for a national home magazine,
speaks professionally and designs home décor items.
