AuTour Du Monde

On Monday December 10th I planned and hosted two events. Both at an Ethnic/French Cuisine Restaurant in Clinton Hill called AuTour Du Monde.

Autour Du Monde is French for 'around the world'. Considering the menu, I would say 'around the world' is quite fitting. To obtain a sense of what niche the chef wanted to fulfill, he offered me his signature Duck Quesadilla smothered in Zucchini Tomato Salsa. It had a unique yet comforting taste.



Champagne glasses ready to go, YUM.



Council Member Letitia James was in attendance along with PACC to lend their support to ATDM owners.



AuTour Du Monde is located at 860 Fulton Street at the corner of Clinton Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant. They are open daily at 8 a.m. and serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. Email me for a pdf of their menu or for media inquiries.

Corporate Holiday Invites

Opinions?

My First Boarding Pass.

In the spirit of one of my favorite past times, traveling, I created an
airline boarding pass shaped Birthday card for my mom. Living in London
during the British invasion, she is an avid Beatles fan. I am looking
forward to seeing the The
Beatles LOVE Show. Using Publisher and Adobe Acrobat,
creating the template was sooo easy. No really, anyone who is skilled
in MS Office can do it...Designing each page (colors, uniqueness) was
something different though.

The first page is the cover:



The second is the accommodations page:




The show that we would be visiting Sin City for:




The Itinerary:




I have designed a jacket
for the ticket using the background image from the MGM Signature
website. For design info or to buy the template, please feel
free to email me or comment.

Tyese and Craig Day

On September 15th i had the pleasure of being the "day of" coordinator for Tyese and Craig. The theme, "A Match Made in Brooklyn". Everything was out of this world on a classy and sophisticated level. Tyese shared some pictures with me, I chose to post the ones with details I had a hand in:

The invitations made by moi:




The cake set in the distance is the actual cake (yes that is a cake with the Brooklyn bridge attached to it!):



The menu cards that doubled as reception programs at each place setting (view the scan here:



Honorable Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn borough president was invited and in turn sent over a proclamation that it was "Craig and Tyese" day...i will try to get the groom to take a picture of it for me.

another spin on the project for Allison and Tobin

Tamborils

Whoo Hooo, let me tell you! As an event planner the most favorite thing to do is to get complimentary tastings and goodies from vendors. Today i went to Tamborils right here in Brooklyn.

It was a "taste explosion". I asked the Chef, Yvette, to marry me.

I had cod fish fritters with a tamarind dip, Crab cakes with roasted peppers sauce, Salmon with a coconut tomato paste...Simply amazing and creative food combinations. The fusion element is definitely present. I am currently trying to schedule a holiday Christmas party there. email me for more info.

Lovie

I don't really delve into my personal life to much as i want it to be clear; I prefer only my crafts to be blogged about here. But, shortly after I did the Mike and Juliet Show, I got a job offer as the Press and Events Manager at a non profit organization. One of my new coworkers is throwing a baby shower and requested my help. heres a draft of the invite.
