Petite Ecole Party near Stratford
The Petite Ecole Party lived up to it’s name: Small and educational.

First, the mini-fundraiser showed us the Stratford-area home of Kristi and Scott Eckert. Designed by Paul Lamb Architects, it feels like a light-porous bastion on a precipice overlooking the green of the Brackenridge Tract, as well as Lady Bird Lake and a unusual view of downtown.

Also, the party introduced me to all sorts of Austinites, some directly connected to the bilingual school, others simply friends or friends of friends. They circulated easily, tasting from a buffet supported by Texas French Bread, Olivia, Fête Accompli and Austin Wine Merchants, among others. All the goodies fit the francophone theme.

More to the point, I learned about the tiny school, Petite Ecole Internationale on North Loop near Burnet Road: 18 students, 1 teacher, 2 assistants. Now that’s a niche market. It might not be the smallest organization to throw a lovely party in a swank Austin home this season, but it surely comes close. Sincèrement, bonne chance!
