The Plymire-Schwarz House

Current restrictions have forced us to restructure our #AnnualVictorianTea so this year we offered a limited number of private tea parties. What a beautiful weekend to enjoy a bit of pampering and a cuppa in serene, elegant surroundings.

Another hot and smokey day kept today’s Garden Dessert Party winner, Enda Pacheco, and her guests, in the Boutique to shop and enjoy their sweets.

South San Francisco has lost another SSF original! Thanks to David Martin for sharing the amazing life story of his aunt, Evelyn Martin. Her wit, knowledge, and love of life will be missed.

Because of the poor air quality today, we scrambled to make a safe environment for our first Garden Dessert Party winner, Shirley Zocchi and her guests. Tables were set up in the Boutique and the ladies were able to enjoy their sweets and shop in cool, smoke-free comfort.
