You guys.
I can’t even tell you how much this post fires up my “little engine that could.”
I had the absolute honor of hosting the 2nd annual Starlit Supper with Lauren Grove of Every Last Detail this past December. For the second year in a row, we worked with a team of extraordinary vendors to execute an evening full of incredible inspiration and networking.
As much as I desperately want to gush about it here, I wholeheartedly ask you to go support Lauren’s post and read more about the inspiration and vision behind this evening there. I was so amazed and inspired by the whole group- and am even more grateful to count them all as friends.
Naturally, I am very much an introvert (as my last post written eons ago describes). Networking events are often tough for me, and I really have to pep myself up for them. With A Starlit Supper, however, that simply is not the case. I so look forward each year to relishing in an evening with these vendors- celebrating a year of hard work and many fantastic collaborations along the way! To be inspired by these people, and have the opportunity to host them for an evening in my own little town- what a gift. What a privilege. I thrive watching vendors push themselves and stretch their limits to create artwork- which is exactly what happened this year.
Kat Braman and Shutterlife Productions absolutely knocked this shoot out of the park in capturing so many of the details. You simply must see it!
So please, do me a favor (or four)- read Lauren’s post, scroll through the gorgeous images, watch the video- and then share it! I would be honored if the handiwork of these amazing people inspired you like they did me.
Happy 2014, everyone!
