A NIGHT FILLED WITH STARS (of the twinkling Earthly variety)!

Our friend Jennifer from San Francisco and Central America is modeling one of the two evening dresses from the Pistachio Holiday Collection she ¨collected¨ last night. This one a black on black embroidery covered strapless top with a full length double skirt...one layer transparent flowing chiffon, the underlayer soft black opaque blend (an enthusiastic and loving knock-your-socks-off giftie from husband John)

Dear Friends of The Open Window Foundation of San Miguel, Sacatapequez, Guatemala, Central America,

Last evening in my Sala/Gallery we celebrated The Open Windows Foundation HERE library and learning centers great growth and success these past years with a
special tribute and exciting dinner party!

Among those present were Director, Teresa Quinoñez, members of the Guatemalan Board of Directors and volunteers who welcomed many patrons, library supporters and old/new friends to the festivities.

Ken Wood, of Washington D.C. and Santiago, Atitlan, introduced the Holiday Line of ¨Pistachio¨ apparel and it was a huge success.


As many know, Ken and his talented design partner Orlando, have created a high quality line of wearable exotic fashions which combine ¨handwoven¨ and ¨mill¨ fabrics in coordination with indigenous weavers and regional embroidery expertise...truly a updated and glamorous styling extravaganza engineered from first quality materials into Jackets, Vests, Blazers, Eveningwear, Patiowear and ¨At Home¨ casualwear. 25% of all sales were donated directly to the Open Windows Foundation...dozens of original pieces of inspired wearable art were sold and ordered for custom fit and later delivery.


It was a great evening, thanks to all!
