local love in bloom

Last month I had the pleasure of attending Local Love in Bloom, a small gathering of local creatives and bloggers hosted by FOUND .

Laurel from Sweet Laurel helped organize the event and designed and created all the decor, featuring Hester and Cook kitchen papers.

Of course my dear friend Kim from The TomKat Studio was there, and provided a tasty raspberry champagne cocktail for the gals to sip.

Joanna from Baked by Joanna started the evening with a little tutorial on creating the perfect naked cakes.

Next, we received instruction from the fabulous Malori of Hoot and Holler on creating our own floral arrangements from the greens up, and were able to get some hands on experience.

Friends like Alex Evjen, Summer Bellessa, Reachel Bagley, and Becki Crosby were also there to brighten the evening. It was such a fun night, a huge thank you to Kristin Alber from FOUND and REstyleSOURCE for hosting us all and sharing the Local Love!
