Rentable Typewriter

A darling idea, a vintage typewriter set up on a gift table or a escort card table. Set it up with a few pieces of nice paper so that guests can type a memorable note for the Bride & Groom. I think it could rent for 50 bucks.

Guy Wolff Pottery

We took a road trip to the neighboring town of Bantam outside of Litchfield Ct yesterday to see Guy Wolff at his studio. He was kind enough to throw a piece for us and the delight of my two little girls. It amazes me how fast a master like Guy can turn a lump of clay into a work of art. The piece shown took him all of 5 minutes to throw. Of course we bought 2 new piece of his 2010 collection, one of which has already been planted with a beautiful pink Hydrangea.

Guy was every bit as cordial and interesting as I expected. He showed us his wife's famous garden that was featured in Better Homes and Gardens which is a quintessential New England Garden. And we shared stories of our celebrity clients and business tid bits. I think I want to be his friend, very cool guy.

Shots by Rodney Bailey

I stumbled upon a few shots this morning on Rodney Bailey's blog of our work. Rodney, a well known Photographer in the DC area is amongst a few of who I consider the best of the best.

Gloriosa from Japan

Flowers from Japan

This week we bought some flawless Sweet Peas from Japan. More expensive then US or Dutch grown flowers, the quality was far superior. If you get the chance, request Japanese flowers from your wholesaler because the new varieties are something we are not use to seeing and will definitely set your brand apart from the competition.

When a Guy does something wrong.

Nautical Table Numbers

We found these adorable photo frames online that fit the theme of this event perfectly. We had to paint a few with aquamarine acrylic but just touches. The client sent us some photos of her kids playing on Rehoboth Beach from past vacations, we simply scanned theme and edited them to give them a vintage feel. The numbers we found at Johann Fabrics, again we painted them with aquamarine acrylic and hot glued them to the picture frames.

Rehoboth Beach Themed BarMitzvah

This is sadly the last child of this family we have been honored to work for. Last night we developed and produced a Rehoboth Beach themed BarMitzvah at the National Harbor in Washington DC. As usual it came off flawless despite having only one elevator. Some of the highlights I created was the sandbox escort card box with 208 message in a bottle cards.
