NO, AMY REGIER isn’t going on a long trip – at least not right now. But, she did find a couple suitcases for deal at 10th Street Pickers. Sharron Hanson, left, sends Amy, right, off with a happy send-off. Why suitcases? According to crafty Amy, the two will soon be adorned up with some of her stencil work, perfect treasures for home decorating.
AT SWEET FIELDS, the 10 centerpieces of fresh flowers accenting the tables for the Ladies Night Out meal were created by Marilyn Stoesz of The Matchless Gift. They were raffled off at the end of the event to 10 lucky ladies.
