A Nest For Your Goose!

I had the honor of participating in a charity event for Providence Hospital here in Seattle called the O’Christmas Trees Annual Auction and Gala, but instead of a Christmas tree, I designed a tablescape for the auction.

A Ground breaking Event

Whether you are having a baby or getting married, buying a new house or celebrating a momentous event, planting a tree is a wonderful way to mark a special occasion. As time passes, the tree will be a beautiful reminder of the special day that will last for years to come.
