JMcLaughlin logo "Smart Cookie" party favor
On a balmy evening in New York City, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Mika at a recent book launch "All Things at Once." Lucky me to have her sign one for me and one for my dear friend. The Party was hosted by the marvelous McLaughlin's in the courtyard garden of their New York Home which marketing maven, Alison Mazzola Communications partnered to launch.
After the party, my husband and I had the chance to dine, just the two of us at a quaint New York spot. On such a warm evening, the cold poached salmon and cucumber salad tasted lovely while we chatted and watched the people walking by. (This was in May, before my "raw" pledge!)
I was thrilled when the invitation arrived with my illustration in letter-press. You all know how I adore letterpress and lovely white stock. I just picked up the original artwork which I had matted and is ready to send to Mrs.McLaughlin. I finished the book and there were so many poignant moments that I could relate to as we juggle life, all things coming at us at once.

What a smart cookie favor, just the perfect treat to bring home for my children.
Take a bite out of life each day as "All things at once" occur while we strive to balance work and family.
Cherish today, cookies and all things at once!

Smart cookies in every sense...
I love that picture of the two of you! You both look so perfect for a spring night!
I am so glad you get the opportunity to show your talents...
Lovely invitation!
And to dine alone in the city with your hubby is worth a million bucks!

Victoria,
Yes, when we have the chance to stop "All things coming at us, at once" is to be savoured. Even though I have learned to embrace all things at once.

I agree with the other comments, this sounds like the perfect evening. I really like your dress :)
The cookies are so cute and thanks again for my book from Mika. I'm watching her right now as I type this. LOL!
I am so glad that you enjoyed the event. You have very close ties to the McLaughlin stores. So glad! And your garden party dress looks great; a perfect event!
Kwana,
Is she wearing McLaughlin?
She wears the Mclaughlin label so lovely!
