Events!

This weekend was chalk full of events in the wedding industry....ok, I exaggerated a little there.  I attended 2 and it felt great to be encompassed in the wedding world again.

For starters, I had the pleasure of painting at Magnificent Milestones on Saturday.  Big thanks to Kara for giving me this opportunity to meet some people and get some work done all in the same boat!  Check back later this week to see my painting progress.

On Sunday, my mom and I headed to the Trump Hotel & Tower for An Evening of Bridal Luxury put on by C.S. Brides.  We dined on the fine food made by the Trump catering and sipped Dom Perignon while perusing the lavish tablescapes created by Heffernan Morgan and Botanicals.  Check out some of these arrangements...they're gorgeous.

We were also treated to a fashion show of the 2011 bridal collection by Vera Wang.  Oh Vera, how I'd love to own one of your dresses some day.

My "assistant" and I had a lovely night networking with some amazing people and being around some of the finer things in life.  A night like this may be considered "business" for many, but for us it was pure loveliness.  Cheers to that!

Like Crocuses in Snow, A Painting Pops Up

Happy Belated Valentine's Day.....but wait!  I've decided to continue the love into this weekend!  Come out to Magnificent Milestones this Saturday, February 19th from 11am-5pm to receive $100 off your bouquet painting when you sign up that day.  I will also be working on my newest painting on site. 
It turns out that Magnificent Milestones owner, Kara Underwood, not only admires my work, she wants a painting of her own!  Check out her beautiful bouquet below:

This is such a citrusy fresh bouquet to be working on as we anxiously try to sneak up on spring.  It is suppose to be warmer this weekend, so there's no excuse not to stop by and visit me!  Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Painting!

Magnificent Milestones is located at 472 West Erie St. in Chicago.  Please contact the paperie at 312.951.8300 if you have any questions about this event.
