💍✨ Bling & Tell was a sparkling success!

Women from Vista Ridge North and South gathered for a joyful afternoon of storytelling, laughter, and connection—each sharing a special piece of jewelry and the memories behind it.

From sentimental to quirky, every story reflected friendship, love, and life well lived.

🎨 Kate Pittman brings bold color and energy to her intuitive paintings and mixed media works. Her art is meant to be felt, not analyzed—full of motion, texture, and spirit.

Knitting Care Into the Community at Givens Highland Farms!

Once a month, Givens Highland Farms comes alive with conversation, creativity, and compassion as residents gather for the Charity Knitting and Crochet group. This welcoming group brings people together to connect, share stories, and turn their talents into service.

Each year, members create 200 to 250 handmade items that are donated to local organizations like the Givens Highland Farms Health Care Center, Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry, and the Black Mountain Children’s Home, extending warmth and care throughout our community.

This group is a beautiful example of resident philanthropy in action, where every stitch reflects generosity and purpose.
