Central City Opera House Association kick’s off the holiday season with their 33rd Annual L’Esprit de Noel 2009 Holiday Home Tour and Gift Boutique.

The proceeds from the event will benefit the Central City Opera House Association and is scheduled for November 20-22, 2009 in the historic Lowry neighborhood. The tour will begin at 6th Avenue & Quebec and run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The event will feature six destinations, including three custom homes, the historic Eisenhower Chapel at Lowry Town Center, and two very unique spaces at the Steam Plant Lofts.

The destinations on the tour have all been decorated for the holidays by local florists and table top designers, including Perry & Co.’s own Kim Kouba. Kim is not only a broker associate with Perry & Co. but also is the owner of the Sweet William Market in her Stapleton neighborhood. Her table design incorporates pieces from several the antique and vintage collectors and artisans who regularly participate in her summertime open-air market.

The L’Esprit Gift Boutique will have more than 35 vendors at the Stanley British Primary School Gymnasium at 350 Quebec. The boutique will feature such items as gourmet foods, hand-painted pottery, holiday silverware, unique handbags, children’s clothing, bath products and more. Music of the season will be performed at L’Esprit de Noel this year with performances by the professional singers of the Central City Opera Ensemble in the Eisenhower Chapel on Saturday, November 21st at 2 p.m.
