GALA The New York Horticultural Society 2010

A very special thanks to all the very talented artists that helped me create the table for the

It's so exciting to take a drawing and bring it to life!

GALA The New England Society 2010 St. Regis New York

On Friday, November 12th, the New England Society in the City of New York hosted its 205th Annual Dinner Dance at the St. Regis Hotel. Members and friends gathered to honor Tom Chappell, co-founder of Tom's of Maine and Ramblers Ways, with the Reginald T. Townsend Award, as well as honor the current and past New England Society scholarship recipients.

Upon accepting his Townsend Award, which recognizes outstanding achievement while representing the finest attributes of the New England character, Tom accurately defined the New England character as the spirit of freedom that comes from acting socially responsible. He also shared the story of his New England and New York ancestry. His gracious words and personal message were enthusiastically received by the 150 guests, including scholarship recipients: Juliette Ferrigno, Class of 2013, Gregory Gumbs, Class of 2010, and Cathya Solano, Trinity Class of 2011. The dancing and celebrating continued on until midnight and an over all terrific evening was had by all thanks to co-chairs Christopher and Liz Apgar, Tom Farrell and Suzanne Milton.

This was my fifth year doing the decor for The New England Society.
Feathers were accessorized not only in the Thanksgiving flower arrangements ,
but many of the guests were adored with them as well!
Many thanks to Ann Watt for shooting our event.

Thumb-Controlled Watering Pot
Handmade in Maine, this delightful earthenware "thumb pot" resembles those seen in 17th-and 18th-century English gardening prints. Immerse the pot in a barrel of water to fill and, holding a thumb over the top hole, carry it around the garden to water the plants. Releasing your thumb allows a stream of water to flow from the bottom.

GALA Lilly Pulitzer Thanksgiving for The New England Society 2009 St. Regis New York

It was a wonderful night!













The flowers I designed and created for the event were a hit!

The baby pineapples in hot pink was the inspiration for the floral design.
Leasle Stahl was our honoree and the New England color guard is one of our traditions that makes this event quite special.

I'm so proud to be part of it.

Thanks to Mari O'Connor for her millinery help with the May Flower Madam!
