It was a festively out of this world evening as friends gathered at Matthew Trent Jewelry Design Studio at the Plaza at Preston Center in Dallas on Tuesday, December 8, 2015 for a Cosmic Holiday Celebration to support the SPCA of Texas’ upcoming Fur Ball 2016! Guests were all decked out in holiday splendor, and joined Chair Phyllis Comu, Co-Chair Kristen Greenberg and Auction Chair Sandra Fite for a cosmically fantastic night filled with holiday cheer.

Gorgeously delicate dog bone necklaces in gold, white gold and silver, custom-made by Matthew Trent Jewelry Design Studio just for the soiree, along with other dazzlingly bejeweled masterpieces glistened brightly on display. The festive lights of the Plaza at Preston Center shone in the background, complementing the delightfully warm glow of the party. 

Champagne and wine were passed while guests enjoyed a plethora of delectable delicacies which included petit Caesar salad in parmesan nests, apricot and goat cheese lollipops, prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, guacamole in a corn chip cup, a cheese platter and chocolate and gingerbread cake balls. The evening's superb staffing was provided thanks to KMG Events.
