Hostess Gift
The wonderful thing about being an artist, is that you get to give your art as gifts. When I attended Kelley Moore’s dinner party, I knew that Kelley, being an Entertaining Expert, had specific ideas about her table display, and I didn’t want to interfere with those ideas. So, I decided to bring a set of Reflection Cards, (a spur of the moment invention of mine), as a hostess gift. I lettered beautiful Italian cards with words like Believe, Love, Dream, and Angels. I tied them with a silk ribbon to present as her gift. During the evening, or upon leaving the party, each guest could choose a Reflection Card, and ponder the word that evening, or on their travels home. Nothing like a little piece of art, and a good thought to tuck in a pocket, and unexpectedly rediscover again some day with a smile. Luckily I chose a color scheme that was serendipitous! See her centerpieces in yesterday’s post. Kelley’s Give Away is only one day away, and the Nate Berkus Show segment, featuring dinner plates I painted, airs in two days!
