WINERY FINERY...

We had a great time decorating for the KAJ Foundation Fundraiser put on last weekend at Enoch's Stomp Vineyards & Winery in Harleton, TX. The event was a great success with $52,000 raised for the Good Shepherd Medical Center NICU.


The Cozy Perch had the privilege of decorating the winery and it's surrounding grounds for this special event, and boy did we have fun! Everything went off without a hitch--in spite of the 45-55 mph winds that were a constant the day we started to decorate. On the day of the event, however, the evening could not have been any more perfect--clear blue evening skies, balmy temperatures, great food and wonderful music provided by singer-songwriter Five for Fighting. It was a fun and rewarding evening. Thanks to the Briscoes and Phillips families, as well as many volunteers who worked tirelessly to make the event a great success.  A special thank you to Liz Gibson for being such a great help!  From helping to design some flower arrangements to whatever we needed at the time, Liz was always there to lend a helping hand! 




We thought you might enjoy seeing some pictures of the finished product.




A FEW OF OUR ARRANGEMENTS...






THE FOOD TABLES IN THE LODGE...









THE CHEFS DID AN AMAZING JOB WITH
THE HEAVY HORS D'OEUVRES





AND THE DESSERTS WERE TO DIE FOR, 
ESPECIALLY THE CHOCOLATE-COVERED STRAWBERRIES!






OUTSIDE, THE DECORATIONS WERE
HYDRANGEA ARRANGEMENTS
& WROUGHT-IRON CHANDELIERS...








WE USED THE SILVER OF THE WINE VATS AS BACKDROP FOR OUR TABLESCAPE.














THE GROUNDS SURROUNDING THE WINERY WERE DECKED OUT WITH NATURAL TOUCHES OF POTTED PLANTS AND CANDLE VASES FILLED WITH SAFFLOWER & OTHER SEEDS FOR COLOR...

THE EVENT WAS A SUCCESS...FULL OF FUN, GREAT FOOD & GREAT MUSIC, AND THE BEST PART OF ALL WAS THE FUNDS RAISED FOR THE SUPPORT OF FUTURE PARENTS WITH CHILDREN IN THE GOOD SHEPHERD MEDICAL CENTER NICU.

THANKS TO ENOCH'S STOMP VINEYARD & WINERY IN HARLETON, TEXAS, FOR PROVIDING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SETTING FOR A BEAUTIFUL EVENING.  THE VINEYARD IS TRULY A GEM THAT WE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO VISIT.  IT IS LOCATED AT 870 FERGUSON ROAD IN HARLETON.  ENOCH'S IS DEFINITELY A SMALL PIECE OF CALIFORNIA WINE COUNTRY RIGHT HERE IN THE HEART OF EAST TEXAS.
