More May Events

We were honored to be a part of some amazing events in May. Here's just a few shots from Firestone, Hacienda House, Figueroa Mountain, The Granada, the Barn at Dos Pueblos, the Arts Pavilion and Tres Hermanas. We also did some adorable cup cakes there at the (the Cherries are in season!) and a great sushi station with fresh sushi being made right there that was a huge hit. Our chefs are amazing, headed up by Jerry Wilson who never stops astounding our guests.

Farmer's Market is in full swing with all the tomatoes just in and the pit fruit, I'm having a fantastic time shopping for the events!!

Our full time event designer Mike Evans is back from his annual trip to his plot of land in Nicaragua where he has actually built a house now!! He's livin' the dream! He's already done several beautiful events this last week and you'll be seeing a lot more of his creativity as the event season unfolds!!

Mother's Day

I thought...since it's Mother's Day, I could get away with going on about my adorable boys just a bit. Lucas, my youngest, and I just spent Monday with a photographer from the Wall Street Journal here at the kitchen and at our home. They contacted us last week and did an interview. The article is slated to appear in next weekend's issue. Luc, who will begin studies at Stanford in the fall, took some of the photos in our portfolios here at Pure Joy as well as the ones from the Malibu Wedding where he worked, my last blog entry. My oldest son, Cougar, just won a very special Oral Presentation Award at Stanford. Portions of it are actually being used in a Humanities required course text book! The presentation is fun to watch if you have time, its a fascinating take on the effects of technology  (Max Cougar Oswald, Technology is Advancing, are we?)
