Between the crazy summer of no internet and Typhoon Soudelor (and our extra transitional last few months), all of my creative pursuits have been solidly on the back burner lately. And then these last couple weekends I threw two parties back to back (I don't do anything halfway- if I'm going to …
party station
a juice bar (and a fruit party)
Do you ever have a party sneak up on you? Since my first rule of party planning is "start early," I usually have a pretty good pulse on my party to-do list. But not for this Fruit Party. Between my parent's visit, and Tropical Storm Bavi blowing through here and leaving us without power and water …
