Holidays on a High Note...


I apologize for publishing this post so close to the event date, but I wanted to let you all know about this exciting fundraiser. Holidays on a High Note is hosted by the Foothill Auxiliary to Peninsula Family Service. Each year, they enlist local, Bay Area designers and florists to create unique tablescapes for all attendees to see. The lunch is delicious, the presentations are inspiring, and overall, the event is an enjoyable afternoon in support of a worthy cause.

We will be participating in this fantastic fundraiser by decorating a table to display at the luncheon. This will be our second time joining this fabulous event. Having attended before, I can certainly tell you what a wonderful and inspiring event it is.

If you must miss it, I will be sure to post some pictures of our table and many others after the event. Here are some pictures from last year's celebration.
