Dear Friends, We’re in the mood for love, especially in February, with Valentine’s and Galentine’s galore.  And to make it even more special, granddaughter Louise aka Lulu turns two this month and is coming down south with her baby sister, Bunny,  to celebrate!   Coming up this month we will be posting on events both north and south as Hilary braves it out in the city. The calendar is chock a block with activities and wonderful social events.   The Boys Club New York is holding a luncheon in Palm Beach on Friday,  February 10, and we are proud to partner with them as our Charity of the Month.
