Meeting Famous Bloggers

 
     I only follow a few blogs. One of them is a fabulous design blog called Design*Sponge. They are a big deal in the design world. I love this blog because they feature cool DIY projects, "before and afters", and the icing on the cake for me is a weekly post about flowers/ flower arranging. (See last week's post on Dahlias www.designsponge.com - the pictures are beautiful).

Stacks of the book

   The creator of Design*Sponge, Grace Bonney, just published a book that encompasses all that is great about the website. There is a section on flower arranging which sold the book for me. (Did you get that I like the floral components of design?) I am hoping to get a bit better at showing off my flowers inside the house. 

   So, this week I went to the book tour party in the San Francisco Anthropology store with my friend Kirsten. Yes, the Kirsten who did the wonderful flowers for our wedding. (Now Kirsten has a flower business Fairy Tale Flowers)!
     It was an amazing party! We snagged seats at the crafting portion where we made and personalized our own wax seals. Grace used Kirsten's seal for the demo.

       

Then I got my book signed and ate yummy cupcakes.

 Then we browsed the store while eating cookies, sipping Prosecco, and listening to the band play.

Everything was orange and gold to match the D*S book cover.

 We took our pictures with the interactive cookie backdrop. YUM!
It was an all out party. Way to go D*S team

I met a photographer during the craft time who took some great photos. She wrote about it on her website too.  www.jetkatdesign.com
