Dave, Leah, Erica and I loaded the UHaul with all of the display items for our booth. We arrived at Center 548 at 1:30pm to set it all up. Beginning with pretty much a blank white canvas of two tables and provided linens between two white columns, we utilized every minute of the 4 hours prior to the start of the event at 6pm. We each were running back and forth referring to our mobile pics to help guide the set up of the display. Towards the very last moments, Dave helped put up our PostScript Brooklyn bunting banner to finally give identity to our booth.

Gramercy Park showcase on the left side of the table with our willow and espresso color scheme. Erica searched for the perfectly colored candies, treats, and details to match the suite. Green rock candy lollypop swizzle sticks, brown chocolate pudding jelly beans, green juicy pear jelly beans, green pistachio and chocolate brown macarons from Almondine Bakery, and green and white paper straws added sweet adornments to the display.
We placed our exclusively Cream Event themed letterpress Thank You cards giveaway designed by Leah in front of each suite display.
oops, blurry shot of Washington Square charcoal and squash color scheme for our central showcase
All of the wire baskets and 3 tiered wire basket display, clips and wire stands were lent by Erica's personal display collection along with the rectangular wooden place card and invitation holders from Etsy. With the help of our friendly neighbors at Brooklyn Wood, Angel cut down the birch logs to mini stumps with rabbit notches to hold our invites.
Brides Magazine's fancy table display. Eye-catching shimmery chevron. Their decorative cakes were fun too.
Fun bow ties and neckties on dowels to try up to your collar.
There's Patricia from Mr. Boddington's Studio visiting Duchess Clothier's booth! It was nice running into an old co-worker!
Our booth neighbor's: Patina Vintage Rentals had such an awesome booth with hand-picked vintage pieces from all over the nation. They were so lovely and lent us 2 of their chairs for our booth.
This is what you were greeted with on the 4th floor once you entered from the staircase.
A multi-tiered display of cake-cups from Bee's Knees Baking Company. The gentlemen that were running the booth were friendly. I tried their PB & J cake cup: A yellow cake with Peanut Butter mousse and strawberry jam with a subtle hint of Cayenne.
Such nice display by Tree of Life films. They gave out key rings with wood slices stamped with their tree emblem in mini muslin bags.
The music and vibe picked up during the rest of the evening. This sultry singer captured the look and voice carried through the venue.
Instant flipbooks printed on the spot in 1 minute. Such a fun way to remember the occasion with a perfect memento to capture an animated photo booth photo/video op. Each guest takes home a little animated memory. I'm so glad to have tried it out with my childhood buddy, Lisa. We were both unsure what to do but be silly and crazy giggly.

So delighted to see Michelle Lin of Chelleline Cards running her own booth and made it to the big leagues! She's come along way since I first met her at Lion in the Sun when I first started working there. Definitely cool in my book as a fellow seal and arctic animal lover.

Pronounced (mahr-CHEH-la) with an invisible H. An observer, I see things that people do not always seem to capture in their initial glance unless intently watching and factoring in every analytical detail. When certain events occur before my eyes, I hold on to selective moments in fear that the moment might not happen again. Drawing inspiration from memories, dreams and revolving elements in daily life, I aspire to express a themed set of pieces based off this notion with interrelated characters, whether made-up or inspired by significant individuals.
Raised on wanderlust and all made possible by a dynamic duo of a masterminder music aficionado of the turntables that keeps the dance floor, of all the young at heart, rockin’ ‘til the early morn with impeccable penmanship and the eye to be dapper debonair paired with his renaissance counterpart of whom shines with creativity and multi-talented brilliance that can fashion anything out of everything that she sets her mind to.
The May Arts Ribbon booth was colorful and fun.
