Beautiful photos from our Open House!

Wow.  We couldn’t be more pleased with Calima Portraits for their beautiful photos of our Open House last week at 415 Westlake!  A big thank you to all our vendors, clients and friends for making it such an amazing evening!

Twelve Baskets Open House — NEW DATE: Feb 9th (postponed due to weather)

*** PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE: THURSDAY, FEB 9TH ***

Please help us out and RSVP as soon as possible to rsvp@twelvebasketscatering.com so that we know you’re coming!

Though the snow is beautiful and exciting, it has caused a major dilemma! We are so sorry to say that we must postpone our event that is supposed to happen tomorrow, Tuesday, January 17th. Due to the snow and poor weather forecast, we think it would be better to change our event to a more transportation friendly date. We have coordinated with 415 Westlake, and have decided to move the Open House to Thursday, February 9th hosted at the same time, 5:00pm to 9:00pm! We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, but do hope that you will be able to make it.

Please feel free to email or call us with any questions you may have. We would love and greatly appreciate another RSVP from you if you are still able to come.

Thank you again for your understanding,
