RAGS Wearable Art Sale & Show

Each year the YWCA has a benefit for their domestic violence prevention & intervention programs. This year it was at Larson’s Mercedes-Benz of Tacoma at 1701 Alexander Avenue in Fife. It was great.Their showroom was filled with more quality wearable art then I’ve ever seen in one place and it was an added bonus that it supports the YWCA’s excellent mission. I walked away with a lovely necklace and a pin for my friend. While I was there I checked out a new Mercedes-Benz (I can dream!).

What was funny is that when I came home I took the Fife exit onto I-5 and pulled in right behind my husband’s blue truck. Really, what are the chances?

          

The love is in the details, the YWCA

Today’s new place was the extraordinary opportunity to see the new YWCA prior to it’s opening for clients. The Facebook invitations states “The building offers 22 apartments for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Designers have lovingly created living spaces everyone would love, and that our clients will enjoy.” The apartments were amazing, each and every one of them. Today and tomorrow will be the only time that the units will be available for the public to view.

One of the things I especially love about these spaces is how welcoming they are to the women, their children and their pets.
