Last night I had the distinct pleasure of covering what was one of the most entertaining evenings ever...
WJA's Northern California Branch held their "Designer's By The Bay"
This event is not about selling but about mingling for an evening of food, drinks, and networking.
...and I really want to give a nod to Shreve & Co. who generously provided the space...most companies hold and event such as this in order to bring customers in to view their goods - Shreve didn't have a single showcase open - it was an evening all about the Designers by the Bay! Bravo Shreve & Co.!!!
