Heavenly Hennessy

What fun we had at the party in the park this week.

Club Hennessy – your joynt was jumping.

We loved taking the nightclub decor and design up a few notches, and creating a sophisticated, elegant visual environment perfectly partnered with the luxury brand.

Now – we bid adieu to Millenium Park, to the Loop, to Chicago…

We are off to NYGift in marvelous Manhattan.

All the new lines, products and designs launch this weekend.

We have lists, and our lists have lists…each a mile long to source for this season.

Vintage Candy Store Valentine Party

Luscious Leap Year Fete

Mardi Gras Madness

Weddings – oh my – the weddings!

Lavender and Antique Gold…

Plus – we are loading up on new lines for the studio boutique and e-shop: paper, gifts, happy hostess, gourmet, you name it.

Lucky, lucky are we.

And away we go.

Stage with a View

Stage with a View

Why didn’t we wear roller skates to work today?

We have walked at least a dozen miles by now – since 9 am this morning it’s almost a city block from truck to door, upstairs, downstairs, choir loft, onstage, over, under, and more.

But the big payoff – is this!

Millenium Park is all it’s glory.

What a window seat view from Pritzker Stage.

Even in the chill of January.

White as Snow

We have crates filled with fluffy, snowy, winter white Hydrangea on stage…

But lucky us, it feels a bit more like spring outside with the sun shining overhead in Millenium Park.

Glam, glossy, glowing Club Hennessy is almost dressed and ready for guests…

But this club is hoppin’.

We are all hands on deck at Pritzker Stage…

Dj is pumping…

Gold and Black Hennessy decor abounds.

Fresh from Cognac, France, depuis 1765, tonight, it’s all about these bottled beauties.

Very Special.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

A peek in the Green Room at ABC…

falling for – oh – like twelve hours outside.
