Poetic Whimsy

A while back we ran contests on a group of fabulous blogs to gather inspiration for our next Lab event! We asked you to create your best board and we chose which boards we would be bringing to life. We wanted to share these boards with you as a taste for what you can expect to see at our upcoming event. We have 6 of the best vendors teams working away to bring your boards to life. 

Our first board - Poetic Whimsy - comes from Ruffled Blog. Gretchen Gerdsen created this fabulous board. Check out the entire board on Pinterest.

  

We will share more details about this great group of vendors on Wednesday but here is the great group of vendors that will be bringing this board to life -  

A & B Creative / Volatile Photography / Twigss Floral Design / Batter Bakery / Little Miss Press

{Can You Say YUM?} Gourmet RockStars

So we've got amazing small bites, dessert samples and wine tasting for your enjoyment at The Lab. But the team got to thinking that since the event this Saturday is happening during dinner hours, it might be great to offer up a way to get something a bit more substantial to eat. Wouldn't it be great if we could get a hip food truck to delight us after we've worked up an appetite? Enter Gourmet RockStars. The owner, Mo, and his team take pride in the fact they grind their own meats, bake their own breads, and pick their own veggies from local farms, all in an effort to provide a chic and mouth-watering global cuisine experience. Gourmet Burgers + Grilled Cheese + Pomme Frites...I say yes, please! Get your taste buds ready...and don't forget to bring some cash...Mo and his team will be there ready to serve up some of their goodness to all!

{Party Perfection} Everly Lane Design

What's a party without some pretty eye candy to dress up the space? Enter Everly Lane Designs. When we stumbled upon Jess Jamison's Etsy store, and found out she had just relocated to San Francisco, we knew she'd be the perfect addition to our little fête this coming Saturday 1/14. We are thrilled Jess is on board and can't wait to see everything she's creating for us! Oh - just a handful of tickets are still available...score yours now!
