I’m catching up on my blog posts, and I realized there’s been so much I haven’t shared. I’m going all the way back to February when we did the premiere reception for “The Yellow Handkerchief.” It was one of those events when 300 folks come out of the screening and we need to be ready [...]

These looked great on the table. Names are written on a waxy leaf with a paint pen or Sharpie. The greens were pruned from a morning walk in the park. We picked a few different types of leaves and tried them out for stability before deciding on the lovely ones in the picture.
