School's Out for Summer!

Finally! While this has been the most exciting and challenging semester I've ever spent in school, and while it's flown by, I am incredibly grateful to be off for a few months so I can catch up on real life.

On my "To Do" list:

- Re-reading many of the books I skimmed over the semester

- Pre-reading several of the books assigned for next semester

- Catching up with friends and family

- Exercise ... lots of exercise!

- Hiking, camping, backpacking

- A little bit of event work with PAGE (the Professional Association for Green Events -- more on that later)

- Get some sleep!

I'll be high-lighting one book each week as I make my way through my summer reading list and hopefully some of you will be inspired to pick up some of these tomes as well. More later ... right now I'm off to jury duty!

La Quinta Evening Event

  • Img_1665
    This is an event that I recently pulled together in Palm Springs. We saved the galvanized metal floral containers to hopefully use again. It was an Asian-inspired dinner served family-style on huge lazy susans in the center of the tables. We served mini saketinis as guests arrived and entertained with a string trio that featured a mandolin.

April & Joe

    This is the wedding of April (my best friend since the age of five) and Joe at UC Santa Cruz: - Again, by using a location that was naturally beautiful, we didn't need to utilize a lot of resources to dress the place up! - We used all local vendors and the reception food was served using organic local produce that was known to be in-season - I even used a car share service to get myself to Santa Cruz to set up and run the wedding!

Marilyn & Rob

    This is a wedding I did last October, for Marilyn and Rob at Sutro Heights Park. We kept this event low-impact in many areas: - we used a naturally beautiful setting that did not require a lot of extra decoration - invitations were printed on recycled biodegradeable paper that was filled with wildflower seeds that guests could plant right in their own backyards - the bride's mother made her dress of natural silk fabric - the mother of the bride also made the groomsmen's shirts and ties of natural hemp fabric - the groom had his suit custom made of organic silk hemp - individually, the pieces look casual enough that he plans to get a lot of use out of them in the future - we kept traffic and parking, as well as vehicle emissions to a minimum by bussing guests from the hotel to the ceremony and from the ceremony to the reception
