At The Tumwater Room we know our guests are important. And once you are one of our brides, we want you to become one of The Family, not just another bride.

On Saturday, May 19th we are inviting our brides and future brides to support the The Tumwater Room, the historic Stevens-Crawford House and The Clackamas County Historical Society by joining us for “An Audaciously Joyful Tea! “  Our guest speaker,  Anne-Louise Sterry and her alter-ego Aunt Lena perform internationally, sharing a hilarious approach to audacious living and making a positive difference in people’s lives. Anne-Louise has taught storytelling for Portland State University, hosts several video and radio shows, and has released several books and CDs.

We are serving a Luncheon Salad Buffet including fresh fruit, sweet treats and of course, tea!! Tickets are available online at www.ClackamasHistory.Org and follow the links!

There will be a silent auction, raffel and lots of ‘Moments of Joy”!   So bring your bridal party, visit The Tumwater Room for lunch and make it an Audaciously Joyful Day!

K.Brunini Jewels is excited to launch “Shapes of Strength” bridal collection for the alternative couple looking for intimate, organic and sentimental design inspirations in Portland.

“Just as every bride is an individual, every commitment ring should be as unique as they are,” states Brunini.  “The engagement/wedding ring becomes a symbol of a new family’s legacy and I take honor and pride in designing pieces that will represent that union until the end of time.”

ALCHEMY is located at 1022 NW Lovejoy Street in Portland. For more information about K.Brunini Jewels, log on to www.KBrunini.com. For store directions, hours or event details, log on to www.AlchemyJeweler.com.
