….was held in the Nan Rae Studio for Lisa Di Vita’s page turner of a book, ‘The Shattered Peacock’ based on a real life story of displacement and heroism.  The theme is universal and relatable for so many whether you’re living in a city other than your birth or have crossed an ocean to begin a new life.
In keeping with the theme, stunning floral arrangements were designed by creative Amy at lejardinprive.com 818.625.5243. Can you see the peacock feathers?  Amazing!Fullsizeoutput 1713fOf course food is essential and precious Marine along with her way too adorable children Alex and Alyssa were in charge of the food detail.  IMG 6104This is how Alex rolls!IMG 6107Heartfelt thanks dear Marine!
