When you enter the Martha Stewart offices there is a very long wall covered in inspirational quotes. I just loved reading them.

This one says “We’re not just a company, but a laboratory for ideas”,

This is Alexis Tirado. She is our hero! Alexis was the official Martha Stewart contact.

She is in charge of the website and really worked very hard to be sure all had a good time

and that we accomplished our goal for the ladies of Safe Horizons.

The tables for the lunch all had beautiful flower arrangements of multi colored roses.

The ladies from Safe Horizons got to take the roses with them.

The blue bags are the gift bags that the ladies received.

Check out the Enchanted Makeovers page to see all of the donations, some of which were in the bags.

We had fun visiting and getting to know each other as well as getting to know the ladies from the shelter. dreamers-trip.JPG001145 dreamers-trip.JPG001146  Mary Richey has a concept called “ Wallberries” that she used to put a very inspirational sign on the wall. dreamers-trip.JPG001150

This sign of Hope now hangs on the wall at Safe Horizons. dreamers-trip.JPG001149

Look at the pin on my jacket. Taryn Sisco of Poppy Chic Designs made these for all the Dreamers and all the Ladies at the shelter.

Check out what Etsy had to say about her by clicking on her name.

This is the first quilt we gave away. The fabric is called Taxi by Timeless Treasures fabric.

Don’t you think that is great for New York?

The young lady who won it cried so hard that it almost broke my heart.

This quilt was made with Moda Fabric and it’s winner was also thrilled.  OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This quilt has butterflies on it and as I was describing the butterflies a young women from the shelter told her friend

“I am going to win that” and she did!!  She said she knew when I described the butterflies it was to be hers.

It was so heart warming for me to see three young ladies, so deserving in all ways go home with a quilt to wrap up in

and feel the love that went in to making them. dreamers-trip.JPG001024 These are the gift bags that were given to us.

We all got a Martha Stewart T- Shirt, magazines and other goodies.

Finally, this is a photo of most of the Dreamers Into Doers New York Shelter Event members.
