Wow! What a great time! Saturday's gathering was so fun much. Though the weather looked frightful in the morning, it cleared up nicely leaving us with some freezing temps. I thank you for coming out despite the cold.
First and foremost, Kathy Buechel and Shelly Waala were hugely instrumently in planning the perfect night. Thanks to these 2 very special people.
Imagine Coffee shop provided the comfort and coziness...and great food, did I not tell you that!?! Lisa and Rick were generous in allowing us to take over for the night. Jeff and Mike from Spirits on Main helped greatly with wine and beer set up and take down...and super selections! The baskets were a huge hit. We had 17 which I would say varied in value from $50 to Priceless. The purse idea was a hit. We had so many to choose from. And those beautiful bracelet donations!
Jillian Clark was kind enough to tell us about Chix For A Cause. She is the founder. In the last 6 months alone, they have given out over $10,000 in Gifts of Love! Not only is she the founder, she is a gifted singer/song writer. She sang "Whatever It Takes" and several other orginal hits.
By the sound of the crowd, you would have thought the party was attended by 100 women. No, the women that were there were just ready to chat with one another. And, you know Ladies, that is what this night was all about! I was overjoyed to hear the interactions!
We gave out some awards. Best Shoes- Julie Bernarde- red, gold, and fur all in one! Best Accessory- Kathy Buechel- a lavishing multistring of silver. Best Deal- Micky Surprenant- despite the fact her husband is not fond, we were impressed with her vintage jacket find. Best Story- Paula Carlton- a re-enactment of those interesting deer hunting shows.
I can't tell you enough...I loved it! I had such a fabulous time! I hope you all did too. Check back soon for some pictures to be added to the site.
And as some of you may have noticed, I like telling stories. I will continue to write throughout the year until the next season rolls around.
Peace,
Paula
