We didn’t see any doggies there, but bow-wow-wow, will they be excited when their mommies and daddies return home! That’s because guests were gifted with a gorgeous canvas bag, covered with pawprints, and filled with all kinds of pet goodies. Christy Araron, owner of CJ’s Pet Staycation and Pampered Pets Playhouse packed the case with pet toys, bowls, a beach towel, training pads, and human grade, bone-shaped, waffle-like treats in a box labeled, Lovin’ from the Oven. She also included a certificate for a complimentary 2-night staycation for the tail-waggers in the family.

The celebs and guests were thrilled with all the gifts for humans, too! There were baubles, bangles and beads for every woman to enjoy. We loved the jewelry from Twisted Silver. Founder and designer Debra Mitchell uses earthy base metals, recycled, found objects, and vintage asymmetry to create an edgy, trend-setting line that is sure to garner compliments wherever you go.

She also showed necklaces and earrings with some of her favorite materials being Sterling silver, GoldFilled, leather, Vegan leather, Chalcedony, Labradorite, Citrine, Amber, Selenite, Moonstones, and Celestite.

Bergman always invites 2 foster children to join in on the festivities and experience what it feels like to be treated as a VIP.

It was a grand event, hosted by a grand lady: Doris Bergman. She sure knows how to throw a party!
