I was delighted to take part once again in the Hope Designer Showcase at the 10th Annual Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show over Presidents’ Day weekend, February 15-19. Now in its second year, the Showcase features room vignettes that highlight product from the antiques show and raises awareness of the Hope for Depression Research Foundation, championed by Audrey Gruss, which funds research into diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of depression and other mental illnesses.
Bruce Bierman‘s vignette “Happiness is . . . Diamonds and Dogs,” part of the Hope Designer Showcase at the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show, 2013
Last year, our vignette’s theme was a luxurious woman’s dressing room, which featured designer shoes and the pleasure they can bring. This year, our theme was “Happiness is . . . Diamonds and Dogs.” It combined diamonds from Marina B and adorable (and very adoptable) dogs from the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. Furnished with elegant Art Deco furniture, 19th century dog paintings from the William Secord Gallery, and doggy accessories, the vignette put a smile on everyone’s face.
