And just like that, another year is in the books! Another year of jaw-dropping events (85 to be exact). If we had to pick one word to summarize this year, it would definitely be GROWTH. At the beginning of the year our team doubled in size from 5 to 10 full time employees, and by […]
Do you ever feel as though the holidays creep up on you? The big festive parties, tree-lighting ceremonies and endless dinner invites pile up all through November.

Peonies, synchronized swimmers, and the cutest Parisian drink cabana you’ve ever seen. These were just the beginning to this summer brunch soiree.
