‘Tis the season to connect..



This is the week where no sooner do the Thanksgiving decorations come down that it’s a mad scramble to get Christmas up and running.  As we scurry about fulfilling obligations for family and friends, remember to take the time to connect and thank  your clients, partners, vendors and everyone involved who has helped your business along the way!

As expressed in the attached article, face to face events are still the number one way to establish and maintain relationships!  For the full article see:

Edible Spoons



Just named a top trend setter by the food channel, Edible spoons continue to be client favorites for parties and gatherings.

Edibles by Jack offer a variety of flavors including corn and lime, cranberry, coconut and ever the crowd pleaser, chocolate!

 

A summer bar with a twist....



 

In spite of our recent San Diego weather, everyone is more than ready to say that spring has sprung!  Instead of the same old candy bar, how about a fruit and vegetable display?  This one from the candy bar queen herself, Amy Atlas.

Notes from South America.......



Avenida 9 de Julio - widest avenue in the world

The Avenida 9 de Julio in downtown Buenos Aires – the widest avenue in the world!

Getting back in the swing of stateside living after spending time in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro is always a difficult transition!

Attending events  in  beautiful, cosmopolitan, Buenos Aires was a welcome change  – especially as an attendee. Picking up new and fun entertainment ideas for clients is always a pleasure!  Spending time at a horse breeder’s stud farm was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.  Enjoying an “asado” (argentine style barbecue) overlooking horse pastures filled with mares and their young is an experience not to be missed!

In Brasil, the seductive waves of Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro’s beach made world famous by the song, “Girl of Ipanema” beckoned daily with crystal clear water sparking in the sunlight.  Consulting on an upcoming wedding,  it was delightful to work closely with a local event designer and familiarize myself with his previous work and his unique style and interpretation  for events.   With their charm and world famous beautiful women, it’s no wonder Rio is known as the “ Ciudade Maravillosa” (Marvelous City).

Anyone for a Caipirinha?
