Here is a gorgeous piece by Bonnie Bishoff<\/a>. She wore it to the final gala event and I just could not stop looking at the delicate forms and sunset-like colors. The picture (and the poor lighting in these places) doesn’t quite do it justice.<\/p>\n Another bonus to coming to these events is the local color. In this case, Sherman Oberson, a board member of the IPCA and a local Pennsylvania resident, treated a small handful of us to a tour of his insanely packed and ever-entertaining collection of flea market and thrift store finds. We did this, in part, to honor Nan Roche whose birthday it was. A huge collector of the curious and visually enticing herself, it was a perfect birthday outing for her and an immensely entertaining evening for those of us who got to tag along.<\/p>\n Poke around on Instagram and Facebook for more on Sherman’s place and other Synergy events.<\/p>\n _________________________________________<\/p>\n Like this blog?
