set

created for

holidays on a high note

design: victoria thorne

A quick look back (there

there might be more later,

this is it for now): here's how

Sunday/Monday was spent.

Would like to send out sincere

thanks to the brilliantly elegant

Claudia Schwartz of Bell'occhio

for knowing the perfect table

covering (hemp; magnificent)

& sharing it for the event. Another

note of gratitude to very talented

Mercedes McAndrew for coming

by with her marvelous camera

(which will surely supply better

photos than mine) and great eye.

Many thanks to the Foothill

Auxiliary to Peninsula

Family Service for hosting

Holidays on a High Note

and helping transform lives.

Gifted. It's a Wrap.

Another little bit from our table for

"Holidays on a High Note."

The purple ribbons are tied around a

cheery jangle of bracelets with tiny bells,

sure enough to please any recipient...

wouldn't it be fun if the box

contained a pair of chic vintage gloves?

Happy hands!

Setting Up

tidbits from the table...

more soon

Dear Eloise! "Oh my Lord I am absolutely so busy I don't know how I can possibly get everything done"

Like Eloise, I am scampering around this weekend preparing a table design for the luscious "Holidays on a High Note" event in Atherton at the venerable Circus Club. So, please be patient and wait for further postings...some of which are sure to include, happily, the finished table: "A Birthday at the Little House."

Alert: Eloise fans!

There will be egg cups.

And, as you know,

"An egg cup makes a very good hat."

Toodle-oo for now...

Leaving you with

a lovely pic of Clara Bow,

who looks...well,

not that busy.

But awfully stylish.
