We lost track a little bit on how many official annual holiday Soirées we've had at Pomegranate: you know, the one in which we serve cocktails from an ice bar (no matter the weather!), and give ten percent of the day's sales to local non-profits. Pretty sure this was number 15...
Anyway, this year's party (on December 5) was really, really fun, and it was a great day all around. Our beneficiary for the event this year was
The Bloom Project – they bring so much happiness to hospice and palliative care patients! With a really good day of sales, we were able to write them a check for $710. Thank you to everyone who came out and shopped and had fun! We thought the windows might break from the activity and noise level inside the shop... but all was well. This year we ran out of
everything, which is a good thing. We served up a lot of cocktails. All the cheeses, prosciutto, smoked salmon and paté – wiped out. As well as all the wonderful cookies and sweet little bites from Shelbi at
Too Sweet Cakes. She did a fabulous job with all the goodies she made fresh that morning, and we were happy to have been able to snag a few little bites. Thanks also to adorable Hope, who ran around and replenished all the foods, snagged empty glasses, kept the bonfire going and the hot cider full...
I was able to take just a few pictures before it all really got rolling – after that, Jennifer and I did nothing but write up sales and wrap gifts... nonstop! Yep, never set foot outside after that, until it was all over. So much fun, though... and so great to see everyone.
