Children’s Hospital Los Angeles will be the recipient of the Flintridge Guild’s largess from its 75th anniversary of its holiday boutique and brunch. On Saturday, Nov. 16 at Pasadena’s Shakespeare Club, decked out in its holiday best, 52 Guild members served hundreds of customers hungry for sweets from The Sweet Shoppe and holiday-themed merchandise filling some dozen rooms. Tickets were $45. For an extra fee, guests enjoyed a champagne brunch.    

Pasadena’s Shakespeare Club was the sparkling setting for the Flintridge Guild holiday boutique and brunch.

“Deck the Halls” attendees were greeted at the Club’s entrance by a string quartet from La Cañada High School. From 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., customers enjoyed the festive atmosphere inside the mansion, including a Thanksgiving table setting and decorations from twinkling lights, nutcrackers and nativities to Christmas elves, angels and miniatures of sparkling holiday singers and holiday homes.    

 This year’s event was co-chaired by Kathy Seuylemezian, Debi Jacobs, Tang Mansjur and Kim Kessler.
