Local

I wanted to invite you all to a digital version of the Local Love in Bloom party at Found.

It was hosted by some of my favorite people: Kristin Alber of Found and Kim Stoegbauer of TomKat Studio.
Aren’t they stunning? I love how these two blondes have such varied colorings; I had a fun time guessing everyone’s color types. I’m pretty sure Kristin in a Cool Summer and Kim is a Light Spring, but I’d love to get my color drapes on both of them to confirm.

Laurel Morley of My Sweet Laurel was the perfect event coordinator and crafted all the paper flowers as well as the photo booth.

The event took place in the new T. Madison Shop. You guys need to check out this edgy Modern-Boho boutique out ASAP . How cute is this Bonjour Clutch?

Guests included: Summer Bellessa of the Girls with Glasses, Alex Evjen of AVE Styles, Becki Crosby of Whippy Cake

How pretty are these cakes by Joanna Meyer of Baked by Joanna? She says, especially when doing a naked cake, don’t skimp on the frosting. I’ll take that advice to heart.

Malori Maeva of Hoot & Holler showed us how to arrange our own flowers. My favorite takeaway was not to leave out the greenery. It adds so much texture and personality. People think of them as cheap, but they add instant character.

Everyone’s arrangements turned out so unique.

I had my little helper keeping things creative

On Friday Night Last, I meeted and greeted and eated in a clean blouse at The Center Bistro with the smart, pretty girls of Hello There House!

So what is Hello There House?

Its a home and gardening show on the October 7th and 8th horizon. That Friday and Saturday will endow me with knowledge of how to fashion my new house. Did you know we are building a fresh Bagley Estate? Well its actually an old house, a really, really old house, that we are rebuilding. Not that the carpet in the bathroom wasn’t charming and of course I appreciated the sheet of linoleum covering a hole in the countertop, but there might be room for creativity.

And following my perfectly timed conference, I am going to get crafty in the baby rooms and transform my yard into an urban farm, all without going over the dainty budget Mister Bagley left for me to decorate with.

The Bagley Estate Vision, Coming Fall 2011

So what do you want to do with your estate?

And aren’t you going to come with me to the
next meet & greet in August?
