Once again, ‘No More Nylons‘ & ‘The Lavender Inn‘ put on a successful Women’s Social!
Over a hundred women from miles away, gathered to share ideas, create new projects and simply socialize. We enjoyed food created by Ellen Sherwood, a frequent guest chef at our Ojai Culinary School and perfectly mixed drinks from Watermark’s Jenell.
These events are truly inspiring and The Lavender Inn & Jodi Womack (no more nylons, founder) welcome all women to join on future events.
