Here Comes the Jackpot! Question in Advance
What a year it has been! I know that we have all been through so much. Many ups and downs. I would be remiss, though, in not recognizing what an enchanting year it has been for me with the launch of Warmhouse Story. Your interest and kindness have been overwhelming and lovely. As I looked back on the year, I felt that it was important to wrap up 2021 with a beautiful close and ring in the new with you.
I’ve created a cool winterscape dusted with lavender and white and some sparkling with crystal and gold. Black elements play a supporting role. The star of the show, though, are the sentiment and place cards that I created by collaborating with Rubberstamps.com.
The folks at Rubber Stamps were kind enough to let me design my own stamps with an overall theme (Ring in the New- With You), some sentiments and some icon artwork. I used these items to make the welcoming well wishes cards and place cards (that I placed in coupe champagne glasses. I stamped the designs on top of cardstock that have silhouettes of botanicals as the result of a light dusting of low odor water based lavender spray paint.
There are three ideas at play here aimed at making my guests feel warmly welcomed. First, I used the icon art for place cards nested in champagne coupe glasses. Once guests have found their seats, the ayre greeted by a welcome card that reverses to an individual sentiment for each setting. I love creating interactive moments that make people feel seen.
The rest of the table is a study using Pantone’s 2022 color of the year Very Peri. This beautiful mix of blue and purple shows up in the paint dusted floral installation, the runner by Scarf Shop and the ribbon by Silk and Willow – both hand dyed. Among all the beauty is a family heirloom in the form of a Baccarat Crystal champagne bucket. (More on that later!)
I hope that the moody, cool essence of this table helps you re-discover the beauty of winter, your dreams, and your wishes. This has been a year when so many of my dreams became a reality. My wish for you is that 2022 brings you great joy and memorable moments to savor as we take another trip around the sun.
