Well, it's been another crazy week! (Hmm I've been saying that a lot these days haven't I?) In this past week alone I was involved in two major chesed (charity) events on top of some other family stuff...suffice it to say, I haven't been getting much sleep, but I'm all too happy to share some of the beautiful parts!
I also want to mention, yet again, how lucky I am to be friends with such an amazing group of talented women who humble and inspired me daily with all of their selfless work for others, and (as we like to say) 'freakin' amazing' talent and creativity.
Event #1
YTT Expo
The Expo is a fundraiser for my sons' alma mater that I've been involved in for 15 years. It's a showcase of many of the local businesses and it has grown from a tiny boutique show to a full blown trade show. Although my youngest son graduated last year, I still wanted to be involved, and worked on the decor of the auction room with a team of amazing women. Our theme this year was 'Reflections' so we built a huge trifold mirror and then arranged a grouping of gorgeous white flowers in mirrored and silver vases. With just a touch of lighting we achieved the desired effect. Here's a photo of the centerpiece on instagram:
Booths Designed by Pret-a-Partee
My other friend, Chaya, from the Bitz of Glitz (check out her website and like her page!), set up a gorgeous booth chock full of beautiful and fun accessories and jewelry. Her booth was so crowded it was hard to get any good pictures!
Event #2
Chai Lifeline Mother's Spa Evening
This past Tuesday evening we hosted one of the most incredible events I've ever been involved in. I worked on this event with my talented friend, interior designer Margalit of Margalit Lankry Design and Chavi of Pret-a-Partee, who did an absolutely amazing and gorgeous job setting up the food and just all around being there to pick up the pieces. Giving mothers who deal with the pain of illness in their families around the clock, just a few soothing hours to relax and unwind, was probably one of the biggest gifts I could give to myself. And the most amazing part? 99% of the food, products and services were donated! Here are some highlights of the event:
