Saturday, June 3rd the 31st annual Decorators-Designers-Dealers Sale and Auction Benefit Gala occurred at the Southampton Fresh Air Home. The DDD as the event is known benefits the camp for children with physical disabilities which was created 122 years ago.
The Fresh Air Home creates life-changing experiences for disabled children. The experience enriches their lives, creates confidence, instills independence, and even changes the lives of their loved ones. The cashmere and blue blazer-clad designer crowd gathered for one of the most anticipated events of the season. The event is known for its antiques and designer home furnishing bargains. Fun was had by all at this most important fundraising event.
