| Second Saturday, April 12th (tonite!) opening at a f t e r g l o w design studio 6-10 pm; wine, snacks, and new pieces by ***AC Clothing and Bags Hello, beloved friends of afterglow! So here's the funny thing: I was planning on going away to Las Vegas this weekend for a big family affair. However, with one thing and another, I wasn't paying attention to the news and was unaware until last night that the airline that we were going to fly on went bankrupt! And buying two airline tickets the night before departure is not financially feasible for our household budget at present.... So I'll be here to host the second opening of afterglow in the series of recurring Second Saturday open studios for our building, which is also home to Porcelynne Lingerie by Jennifer Lynne and other designers, artists, photographers, etc who will be taking part as soon as they're ready. also opening at the Oakland Showrooms tonight: Porcelynne Lingerie www.porcelynne.com Come one, come all for a glass of wine and an evening of style; if you haven't seen the elegant Porcelynne design studio (that designer Jennifer Lynne so beautifully designed and arranged herself!) you are so missing out! And her new pieces are to die for...flattering, sexy, and fit so softly and comfortably. |
| hope to see you there! love, AC |
