Welcome to Paisley Petunia…part two!
I find inspiration in pretty pictures, endless possibilities in a bowl of Meyer lemons, the meaning of lifetime devotion in the wagging tails of our 3 rescue dogs, end-of- the-day bliss in a glass of red wine and now, the boundless, soul clutching meaning of life in the faces of my 2 little angels.
It's a happy, creative, joy-full life we've got here in the LA sun. Come play! Bring wine.

Party Hardy
I’ve thrown a few parties in my day as I have been a professional event planner for 11 years; there is hardly a type of event I haven’t produced (except for weddings (besides my own) as I am def not a wedding planner) This past year, I produced about 75 events for work and about 10 for personal reasons plus attended dozens more as a guest… whew, I’m tired. But, I love a good party and have pretty much been that way my entire life though it never occurred to me I might end up an event planner. That just sort of happened.
I have a pretty extensive portfolio of event pictures, tablescapes, etc. and I get a fair amount of requests to put some of the pictures up so I decided to post some of my favs. The majority of these are for personal events as I don’t want to plaster client pictures all over the internet without talking to them first and that takes a lot of time. Most are just snapshots taken by me or an assistant as we race around in the last crazy minutes before guests arrive. Some of them are from a professional photographer and I have indicated that (though I’m pretty sure you can tell the difference between their work and mine.)
I’m always looking for a reason to throw a party…friend’s birthday? let’s have it at my house….holiday party- oooh I’ll do it at my house….Easter Brunch-yes! my house. That is undoubtedly one of the reasons I love my house so much. It is a perfect space for throwing parties. After having done so many parties for other people it’s fun to do it just the way the client wants- when that client is ME. I’ve got a few party ideas for the summer so if you happen to find yourself strolling around Bev Hills looking for a good party…drop me a line. I probably know where a good one is…

PS: anyone who knows me will know the one reason why, as an event planner, this picture drives me BANANAS, but everyone else probably thinks it looks lovely
This will come as a surprise to no one, but we’re gaga for the Garden Party! They are all lovely, we didn’t realize just how many of these you had done. You have such a gift for this Miss Petunia, you are too talented.
