As promised a few pictures from the
Design Sponge backdrop we made along with Denise and Linus of
Artsy-Dartsy for the
Design Sponge Book Tour that happened over the weekend at Anthropologie. It was fun to finally meet sweet Grace after all these years and her amazing sidekick, Amy.
(Thanks to Amy for sneaking me a Design Sponge newspaper which wasn't available here in Canada) upon an impromtu conversation)! Bonus! If you haven't a chance to check out the book yet, it's filled with heaps of amazing ideas and how-to's (from interiors to flowers) ! Check it out
here!
Denise and Linus of
Artsy-Dartsy and
Edison & Sprinkles re-designed my initial driftwood backdrop idea which was going to take a tremendous amount of driftwood to make. They had a fun polygon idea as an alternative - keeping my yarn wrapped idea which last week we gathered some amazing peeps to help make!
A huge thank you to Denise's talented sister Kristin Lui, the equally talented Samantha Wagner of Sam Made and the one that kept us laughing (also very talented), Janis Nicolay of Pinecone Camp. I gathered heaps of driftwood from a great little beach nearby and we wrapped some
Design Sponge coloured yarn around them randomly to create the backdrop. As suggested by Grace and Amy we hope to create a DIY of it for D*S
DIY section in the near future!
Also a shout-out to Lyndsay of Coco Cake who dropped by with that adorable Dog Cake (see above)! Sweet!
Here's some pics from the evening!

Looks like a great success. I love that backdrop (and those cupcakes look pretty awesome too!).

Absolutely loved your backdrop Jan! Great to meet you later in the evening too :)
So happy to hear it was such a big success -- lovely setting all around! I was wait listed here in Seattle. Cheers!
Loved your branch inspired photobooth backdrop! I think we might have had a brief chat while I was snapping some photos, but I didn't realize it was you until I was home already. Next time!
Love that pink cake and cuppies. so much fun.
Woot! Seriously cool backdrop you guys created, Jan! You could re-create it into smaller mobiles too, or mobile bases!
So glad Pinky the Pup made an appearance too... am also loving my new D*S book.
