For only being a four-day week, this week seemed to pack a punch. Prepping for the French-themed soirée next weekend. Working on a few summer employee appreciation events. Planning an 80th birthday party – what a milestone! And getting ready to meet with friend to discuss her soirée in August.

What made us swoon:

1. C Wonder’s Silver Melamine Large Square Platter, perfect for serving nosh and drinks. Bonus: it won’t break if it’s dropped during your summer soirée.
2. Oh Happy Day’s Zig-Zag Accordion Streamers; a simple DIY for any party. Bonus: a perfectly simple way to surprise a co-worker and perk up her/his day.

What inspired us:

1. Nichole Robertson’s “Paris in Color“
2. Nina Simone – Sinnerman
3. Rue Magazine’s May/June 2012 issue

 

This week’s quote:

We’re still a little shaken from the recent events in Seattle. Anne Frank’s optimism came to mind: “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the violence.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
