Shopping

Sister Ex has been doing some fun shopping for us:

She purchased the chair above that you can see in the photo below. We love the nature inspired look but can't go all out with it when we stage.

Mother's Dinner Party

It is often a challenge to find creative gifts for our parents so Sister Ex and I offered our entertaining services. We helped our Mother put together a dinner party and what fun it was to plan and execute.

A rough outline of our menu:

The beginnings of our place cards with the supplies and classes found here.

 The beginning of the tablescape

Cute bowls for the Cheddar Granny Smith Apple Soup

 Prosciutto-Wrapped Grilled Shrimp with a Kalamata Aioli

 Herbed Goat Cheese Endive Boats with Slivered Beets and Snipped Chives

 Pear and Gorgonzola Bruschetta

 The kitchen staff enjoyed wine from our favorite Washington Spa- Cave B.

 Mother took some time away from the guests to teach Sister Ex and I how to prepare the Risotto.

The ingredients were premeasured just like a cooking show.

 The bar wench..

 A Creamy Lemon Custard Tart from Macrina Bakery

 And of course the guests!

Staging-Ravenna Neighborhood

Once again my Dad has come to the rescue and loaned me his camera. I was panicked looking out over the tree tops from my studio window and thinking that I don't have a camera to capture the beautiful fall colors. Now I do...however temporary. Now I can photograph our stagings from our point of view. All is good in my world and I am happy.
