more event pics

as promised, here are some of my setup photos from the event. it was so great to put all my work out there in one big setting... i really enjoyed seeing them like that!

above is the table setup at the foot of the stairs. you can see the stationery that i had on the table, most notably the save-the-dates and invitations from my own wedding. there was also the catalogs and sign-in sheets, as well as business cards, in the middle of the table, and seats for me and my helpers to sit in (saturday my friend loren helped out, and sunday my dear hubby was my right hand!).

the table as you would see it at the foot of the stairs, with michelle and david's stationery the first thing you see. there's also the uber-fun multi-colored champagne glasses on the drafting table near the window. (btw, all the fun furniture, pillows, and fabric are available for sale at kimera.)

long table set up along the wall, with my fabulous orange tablecloth and an amazing wall hanging done by yvonne for kimera (not only did it match my company colors, but it also used 3 of the fabrics that i used for my own wedding wares made by her!).

table as it looked facing the stairs, with tote-bags in the basket for the guests to take.

me, clearly a little worn after the long weekend. but wow, it was so worth it!!

so, i hope that you guys enjoyed these pics! stay tuned for more news on this event -- yvonne and i are going to be holding many more of them, hopefully at least a few times a year. so if you didn't get to this one, no worries -- there will be plenty more in our future!
