HOLIDAY HOME TOUR

Women of Woodside, our iconic Holiday Home Tour is returning this year on Monday December 5th, including our popular (and profitable!) Holiday Shop during the Tea. This event has been missed by so many, and this can certainly be our year to shine!  We know our members are the most talented and creative women in the galaxy, and here’s our chance to enjoy summer shade – and air conditioning –  by doing the things we really love for a very worthwhile cause.  We need the fruits of your passions: painting, sculpting, baking, stitching, flower arranging, ETC – holiday themed or otherwise for our Shop. We all enjoy producing more than we can use/store/eat – now is the time to indulge in blissful solitude and/or crafting parties – how we do it is as fun and creative as what we do.  Let’s show Aiken that we’re back!  We would love to be in the loop, so please let us know what you will be working on – this will help us to plan themed mini-shops to better showcase our work. Questions and comments are also so welcome – we grow together.  You can reach me at alice.ingream@gmail.com.   I can’t wait to see what this group of very special women can do – Thank you!  ~ Alice Ingream
