2013 Table Talk – NH Magazine Award Winners

It’s been pretty busy around here as we continue to meet with couples before the start of the wedding season.  I haven’t even had the chance to post about our table, a collaboration with My Fathered Nest, for the Palace Theater’s 2013 Table Talk Fundraiser.  We we lucky enough to win NH Magazine’s Award that evening and you can see our ode to Seussical The Musical in the May issue of the magazine!

2013 TableTalk Ideas in Bloom

Mb Lincoln of My Fathered Nest crafted a paper mache tree around one of our plant stands and we built around it with a grapevine nest and live plants and moss creating a jungle below.  We gave Mb all of our ribbon remnants from past events and she sewed this crazy tablecloth that made the perfect base for our yellow placemats and flower arrangements at each place setting.

The “Birdephant” peeked out of it’s bright red and white polka dotted egg.

Rose Placesetting 2013 TableTalk Ideas in Bloom

Each setting had a votive which served as both place card and favor.  A “hearts rose” sat in a nest of bright green moss with a trio of craspedia shooting off to the side.  Pam created the place cards and anchored them on pipe cleaner springs that made them dance about.  Talk about whimsy!  Mb took our turquoise napkins and expertly folded them into lotus blossoms to add to the setting.

A great time was had by all!  Mb and Pam pictured here, sporting the custom feather fascinators I made.  Yes, we even decorated our guests!  Our server didn’t escape either.  She was a good sport and wore a hat just like that of the Cat in the Hat.

Go Green: Earth Day 2011

EARTHDAYBANNER_1

This Friday, April 22, is Earth Day!  The Earth Day Network  is making it very easy to give a little something back to Mother Earth this year.  They’ve devised a campaign to encourage mass participation: A Billion Acts of Green®.

Visit http://www.earthday.org/ for some great ideas of simple steps to take that will make a big difference (eating more locally sourced food, changing out your light bulbs, planting a garden, etc).  You can declare your Act of Green, organize an Earth Day event, or find an event near you to attend. 

Each Act pledged is counted towards the goal of one billion ahead of the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  As of 7:30am this morning the count was 100,499,089.  Add you pledge to the growing number!

I made a personal pledge to support my local farmer’s market more than ever this season and to finally plant that wildflower garden that I never seem to have time for.  As a business we always prefer to buy seasonal cut flower products and jump on the chance to purchase locally grown stock.  Maybe this is the year that we begin our own cut flower garden in earnest.  What will you do?

From more information visit the Earth Day Network website or their Facebook page.

Scarecrow Alley 2010

Those of you who drive through the “down town” section of our sleepy little town have noticed that the scarecrows have begun to congregate on the common again.  The Recreation Department and Friends of the Library sponsor the annual Scarecrow Alley contest and there are some really great entries going up. 

Our Garden Lady of last year was a bit traditional and we decided to go out of the box for this year’s creation.  You can visit our “Garden of Earthly Frights” until October 30th. Once again we used live plant material in our constructions.  The little “frights” are all live potted plants and our Wicked Witch sports a head of shocking blue hair that is actually live ivy.  This is always one of the most fun community projects of the year!

Remember to vote in all three categories (family, business, organization) at the Town Hall, the Library, or Dodge’s Store.

Here’s hoping for a repeat!
