Embellish...

OK!!!! it has been too long since the last post.... much has happened, so i am going to break it down into bite-sized chunks for you. we'll start with the 3rd of november....



the company that i am working hard to set up, called "Embellish", had it's first job on Saturday the 3rd! We were asked to do the catering as more of a promotion for our work and and the exhibit... the exhibit was called "ViceVerse" and is an exhibit that has been done in Cadiz in Spain and featured over 20 artists. The exhibition poening was held in the Oude Kerk ("old church") in the middle of the red light district. the exhibit it really beautiful, man talented artists including our friend, Wanda (connector for this event and our biggest cheerleader :) ). The food really centered around an idea of bright veggies, spanish-style hors d'oevures that were presented in a "horn of plenty" presentation for all to share. it was really fun to set up, prep was easy, and THEY LOVED IT! we had a number of people thank us profusely, saying that it was a work of art in itself and asking WHAT OTHER WORK WE ARE DOING! mission accomplished! it was really great to have it be well recieved and give the artists an experience of really feeling taken care of and showcasing their work. sidenote: people are amazing. they absolutely annihilated the table... i am not kidding. we saw a woman towards the end of the opening actually pick up one of the cabbages that the dip was in and start eating it with a serving spoon. they ate the decor, for crying out loud! very hilarious. it was pretty interesting to see people practically climbing over one another to get at that food. it was a great time, we are fielding requests for more work in the wake of still working to get it all set up through the country... we had a great time and can't wait to do more to expand the businesses of these people...
