the 7th annual alzheimer benefit

THANK YOU!  Whether you came to our 7th Annual Alzheimer benefit or supported us generously with your donations, you played an important role in making this the best event to date! I hope you realize how much I appreciate your visits to Carabella and supporting me in so many ways! The restaurants and merchants were so generous with their time and resources. I hope you'll have the opportunity to visit them the next time you're in Oakmont. It truly is a special place.

August 17th is our 7th Annual Alzheimer Benefit and we welcome you and your friends to attend the BEST party in the city!!!  Bring in a bottle of wine or $10 in lottery tickets for our auction basket through August 16th and receive 10% off of your fall purchase of $100 or more!

The UPS drivers are tired by the time they leave the store from unloading so many goodies each day.  The sweaters are amazing, ranging from transitional t's and cotton sweaters to luscious cashmere in yummy jewel tones.  Pants, pants and more pants from leggings, dressy to jeans.  Something for all of you!

Can't WAIT to see you!!!

Mixed media.  Mesh meets stripes... a perfect transition.

Yummy orange leather jacket.  Tracking color for fall!

P.S. The Alzheimer Invitations for the August 17 event are being sent next week...let me know if you don't receive yours... we never know what happens with US postal service or cybermail...remember.... the more, the merrier!!!

remember to mark your calendar

Hi there!
I hope everyone had a wonderful fathers day weekend.  While not a big day on my calendar, I am reminded of how blessed I am to have been given such gifts from my father.  I always remember his eyes.  How they twinkled and were quick to tear.  ( Marsha will be tearing as she reads this, as I am as I type. )  He was such a quiet man.  My parents NEVER argued.  I am always amazed at this fun fact.  We never had much, yet I never knew that.  We always felt rich.  Always felt loved.  My strong sense of family and tradition were the best gifts I could have been given.  Gifts that I hope to pass to my children, nieces and nephews.

We are having a great time collecting for the Alzheimer event!

Here's hoping we "wine-d up with the biggest wine basket ever"!!!  Keep 'em coming.  

We're looking for a big winner!

The Alzheimer event is August 17... hope to see you there!!!

Amazing how flowers grow with a little water.  And a lot of love.

Have a wonderful week!
