Tea Time with Domayne AU Furniture
Saturday, July 16th, 2011Framing party with Eddie Ross!
Monday, January 11th, 2010Saturday I went to a Tea & Framing party with Eddie Ross. My new bff held his event at the beautiful Larson & Juhl ! Let me just tell yah that I had no clue what I was getting myself into lol. This place was absolutely gorgeous as I walked through the door. Stephen McKenzie(my boyfriend in my brain lol) is the owner of this gorgeous place and he told me that it was a dream of his to have a great framing business. It really was something to see!
Pretty display
The decor and artwork inside of Larson Juhl was amazing! I loved how everything was displayed looking like I just walked into the storybook Alice in Wonderland. All the sterling silver tea sets, and food displays were so pretty! I loved how Eddie and his partner Jaithan used the tea cups with fresh flowers, sitting in the inside of the picture frames, that was very unique. I loved that idea,nothing like a well thought out party!
Cute center piece
Eddie was there looking dapper as usual, as we proceeded into an area for his presentation. He showed us how one could mix and match colors and frames to make any image pop. The materials he showed us, were things that I would have never thought to put together. Eddie made framing look so easy. I only have one picture that is custom framed in my home. I think that I’m going to get some of my kids artwork framed now. Frames can make any piece of artwork look expensive too. He gave us some handy lil tips and I really enjoyed learning about framing.
Materials for framing a project
After Eddie gave his presentation, he had a drawing and one lucky winner won an art piece that was designed by Eddie and framed by Larson-Juhl. It was very nice! The attendees got to also take home a print of a chair that was Pinktastic,I cant wait to frame that!
Eddie Ross,me and Stephen McKenzie
I learned alot at Eddie’s framing party and I want to thank him and his staff and Larson Juhl for the invite. It was simply Pinktabular!
Tea Lover Bruce Richardson!
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009I began drinking hot tea on my trips to the Middle East and Europe in the 70s. It was a ritual that Shelley and I then incorporated into our daily routine. We purchased a antebellum house here in Kentucky in 1990 and opened a small tearoom when American’s were not drinking hot tea. The tearoom became internationally known and grew to 5,000 square-feet of dining, retail and art. Our passion became our vocation.
There were few tea books available in 1990 when we started our tea business. Our books are pretty much consumer-driven. We began writing tea recipe books because people were always asking Shelley for recipes. I wrote five tea travel books because people constantly asked me where to have tea when they went to Europe or cities across America. I wrote the New Tea Companion with London’s Jane Pettigrew because our fast-growing tea industry needs tea education books. That book is now used by Twinings and many leading American tea companies for staff training.
