I recently spent a lazy sun-soaked Sunday wandering through the UW arboretum with my husband and dogs…here are a couple of shots…and don’t even get me started on how much I love to use berries and twigs in my floral designs!
A few months ago, I received a call from the Editor of Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom magazine inviting me to design a summer reception table for their next issue. After months of planning and deliberating over details, the photoshoot finally took place last week. While, I can’t reveal any pictures or details here until the magazine hits newstands in late December, stay tuned for “behind the scenes” photos as well as shots from the magazine when it does!
I am pleased to report that Friends of the Hylebos’ annual Ruby Dance last weekend was a great success surpassing the fundraising goal by $3000! But then, with Sean MacLean of King FM fame as the emcee, Gene Duvernoy of Cascade Land Conservency as the keynote speaker, MacKenzie Allen as the auctioneer, Margery Godfrey as the event chair and Finch & Thistle as the event planners/managers/designers, how could it possibly be anything other than a great Saturday night in Federal Way??
Over 200 guests turned out to the King County Aquatic Center for an evening of silent and live auctions, an action packed program, rusted steel herons and raise the paddle. We exceeded our fundraising goals and a good time was had by all (even those working the event). Many thanks to all the volunteers and committee members who contributed time and willing hands. We couldn’t have done it without you!
A few pictures from the evening…
all good pictures courtesy of Seth Bynum, less decent ones by me Finch and Thistle is currently in 6th place in the Best of Western Washington competition. We need to make it into the top five to receive any recognition so please send this link to all of your friends and vote now if you haven’t already!
I am so impressed with Ryan’s work that I will be recommending him to my clients left and right. Stay turned for a very serious and proper interview with Ryan in an upcoming post. In the meantime, you can find him here – http://www.ryanpflynn.com/. And how adorable are these flower girls???
