Organized Jewelry!
Join California Closets and 31 Bits in Huntington Beach tonight from 5 to 7 p.m. for an evening of organization, design, jewelry and prizes.
California Closets is hosting an open house complete with food, drinks, raffles and the chance to win tickets to the Anaheim Bolts, OC's newest indoor soccer team. The closet experts have been the go-to source for help with interior design and organization in OC for the past 30 years.
31 Bits, a favorite of Greer's OC, will also be on hand with their recycled paper jewelry made by women living in Northern Uganda. The socially-minded Costa Mesa-based business provides an income for women who might not have the same opportunities.
California Closets is located at 5921 Skylab Road in Huntington Beach.
