get felt up

got your attention huh!
these beautifully chic felt wine bottle covers are so cool. i would love to use a bunch of them, running down the center of a long table–one for each guest. a great non-floral option–at the end of the party everyone goes home with a bottle & flowers.
definite one-stop shopping.

the NYT focuses on NY event designer david stark today. while his designs always please, i love his creative perspective, “I think of each project as a big art installation that happens to be for a party or a dinner.” adopting this attitude allows your freedom to explore your own dynamic ideas & [...]

in lieu of party favors, i love, love, love giving to charities instead. it’s a great way to personalize your event & spread goodness.

art of the gift bag

ahhh, the gift bag. how many times have you lugged the thing home only to find it filled with a bunch of crap? it might be sufferable if they’d at least give you a cool bag that you could reuse, right?

of the latter, sol [...]

i was baffled–the man’s a party shifting republican, right?
wrong.
now, i totally get it. as a green-spirit, i am in [...]

just food
Leave a Comment
food safety is a big concern for all of us. if it’s not pesticides or GMOs, it’s lead from china. these days, family-run farms and “growing your own” just makes sense. besides, getting your hands down in the earth is just so satisfying; whether it’s a windowbox, or a plot in your [...]
