Wow. Bloom was an overwhelming success! It was a great turnout with about 75 people in attendance and approx $180 donated to our local pregnancy resource center with the funds collected from the draw for the gift basket. Thank you to all those who donated towards this!
I was so impressed by the wonderful displays that everyone put together for Bloom. So impressed in fact, that while setting up Friday night, I realized that I had been putting so much thought into everything else for the event, that I gaped on what my display would look like. I scoured my house when I got home, and put together what I could on Saturday morning. We were blessed with a beautiful day. Streaks of sunshine danced through the windows surrounding the DeSota's beautiful home.
There was a lot to take in at Bloom. Beautiful handmade jewelry hung on tree branches, stretched canvases painted with elegance and printed with fine photographs, knitted and crocheted garments and cowls, detailed handmade cards, pampering treatments, fabrics sewn into stunning scarves and more.
We could not have had such a successful day without the help of so many kind friends.
