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!
