We recently hosted a holiday workshop at MAKERS MESS in Silverlake and we had so much fun! We were truly amazed at how talented all of the attendees were!! Here's a look inside the workshop!

Class just isn't right without bubbly!

Emily from Whisk & Whittle killed it as usual and made pumpkin spice donuts, chocolate chip cookies and brownies for the evening. And she created the gorgeous table setting above!

We started with a visual presentation of a few of our past events and their mood boards, showing inspiration that lead to the final products.

We brought in a ton of gorgeous flowers fresh from the farmers market.

Everyone got to jump right in and create their own holiday floral arrangement, that they got to take home at the end of class.

We then moved on to the table setting portion, where each attendee got to choose their favorite tabletop items and decor, to create their own magical holiday table.

I can't even begin to thank Cassandra of Borrowed Blu for letting us use her stunning pieces for the workshop. We were so lucky to get to play with all of these gems.

We all died and went to candle heaven thanks to Yummi Candles -- who, by the way, have every color and sized candle you could ever want.

We also brought in an array of fresh fruit, herbs and gourds for the students to add to their table design. We were so blown away by how incredibly gorgeous and unique each person's table setting was. Here are more below!

Thank you to all who came and thank you to MAKERS MESS for having us! xx

MIXOLOGY 101 WITH PHARMACIE + 5 FABULOUS COCKTAIL SHAKERS

February 19, 2015/ Laurén

Recently, I had the privilege of taking a mixology workshop with Pharmacie founder, Talmadge Lowe. Starting out as an underground speakeasy, Pharmacie is now the go-to party "cocktail caterer," if you will. If you want to have the hottest, and classiest, party in town, you call Talmagdge and his crew to create the most delicious and inventive, craft cocktails, using the freshest of ingredients, to wow even your most discerning party guest. When I discovered that Pharmacie and The Unique Space had teamed up to deliver this workshop, I jumped right in. I have always fancied myself a "natural-born mixologist" but I have to admit I never really went beyond the "vodka cocktail/white rum mojitos comfort zone." And though my friends have given me much praise and elect me the cocktail creator for our dinner parties, I knew I could reach for higher heights and do better! My two hours with Talmadge got me there. I'm no longer afraid of scotch! I can make my husband a whiskey cocktail anytime! Tequila and I are now BFFs! I am more ready to party than ever! Here's a peek into what the class had to offer.
