Hiya - still wondering if Lucky Heart is right for you? Here’s some other random stuff to consider.

 

What are you reading?

Hmm… there are usually a few books in progress. Currently reading: The Story of a New Name by Elena Ferrante along with The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben (nature is crazy!).

But here are the last few books I’ve read:
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante
Why We Make Things and Why it Matters by Peter Corn
Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson
Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt
The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Creative Trespassing by Tania Katan
The Dutch House by Ann Patchett
Becoming by Michelle Obama
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

Quote that currently has me thinking:

“Every single thing in your life is preparing you for what’s next.”

- Mel Robbins (motivational speaker)

What else do you like to do?

In my spare time I enjoy reading books (ok…and gossip mags), wandering around art-gazing, shopping for cool & unique things to add to my tabletop (or yours), trying out new restaurants and revisiting old favorites, starting up conversations with dogs passing by while I walk my dog, Frankie, and pretending to know how to garden.

Frankie AKA Frankie Long Legs, Frankenstein, Franks, Franks and Beans, Francesca, Francine… the list never ends.
She’s an Australian Cattle Dog Mix - heavy on the mix.

What’s your favorite part of a wedding?

I like to send a text to the couple with the time the officiant pronounced them married. There’s something fun about noting the exact time. At my own wedding a friend wrote “6:45:00” on the back of his place card to let us know when it became official. It means you’re truly witnessing it. You were there. It was real. Time stamped.

Where’s the last place you traveled?

Near ~ Quick trip to Kansas City - enjoyed time with family and celebrated my father-in-law’s birthday.
Far ~ ok it’s not the last, but it’s the next place - we’re heading to Norway, Sweden and Denmark later this year and am currently trying to live my best hygge life.

Who’s outdoor patio are you loving?

Ooh - putting this one on hold while the weather warms up… but all of them?!

How did Lucky Heart handle COVID-19?

Like everyone else, the pandemic pushed us to think long and hard about what we do and why we do it. We love events and we love our clients, so we take everyone’s health and safety seriously. We make sure the plan in place for your event is the best one possible that takes into account you, your guests, and the vendors who are making your event possible. When on-site for an event we follow all necessary state and federally mandated guidelines which have included wearing masks, carrying hand sanitizer, and allowing ample space for social distancing when necessary. It is nice to see people are still excited to celebrate events and have gathered together again.

What’s cookin’ good lookin’?

I’m currently trying to perfect scones and tried out Flour Bakery’s Classic Currant Scones. Have to say… mighty delicious!

Why I don’t weigh 1,000 pounds by now is probably due in part to genetics and also some exercise.

What’s your favorite part of a party?

If I’m attending? Dancing.

If I’ve planned it? Also dancing.
Watching everyone cut loose is always fun and sometimes at the very end of the night, when we have a little time before we have to clean-up, I just might show off some moves.

A few suggestions to get people on the dance floor ~ or maybe if you just need to dance it out in your living room

”Single Ladies” or “Crazy in Love” - Beyoncé
”Groove is in the Heart” - Deee-Lite
”Vogue” - Madonna
”We Found Love” - Rihanna
”Shut up and Dance” - Walk on the Moon
”1999” - Prince
