Lately I have been preoccupied conjuring up smashing, potential color schemes for an upcoming event. One that makes me all happy and glowy inside.

The colors can be as bold as I like.

I get to play with textiles, florals, and dinnerware too.

Planning is required and heavy lifting and sewing and lots of leg work but when it’s done…

ten people will enjoy the labors of my love.

It’s my table at the second annual Friends of CASA Placer Tea and Tablesetting at the Catta Verdera Country Club in Lincoln, California.  I hope you will come and be a guest at my table.  The tickets are $50 each. For purchasing information please visit www.casaplacer.org and mention that you would like to be seated at my table.  My scheme is a surprise but I’ll give you a hint, it will tie in with another upcoming event that’s sure to be a huge hit.

February 19, 2011 from 2:00 to 5:00.  All proceeds benefit Placer CASA.
