A few years ago, we featured this gorgeous, moody 30th birthday and we thought it most certainly couldn’t be beat. Fast forward to today, we have the same birthday girl with a brand new soirée and she did it. Anna Wu  completely topped her 30th with a genius and oh so creative way to ring in a new year. It’s spoon carving made gorgeous at the hands of  Melanie Abrantes  +  Amanda Vidmar  +  Kayla F Photography . See it all here ! Each year for my birthday, I like to gather a few of my friends and celebrate with a little party. Last year it was a pottery class; the year before, a lovely dinner party in the garden. This year, I decided to get creative again, this time with a spoon carving workshop taught by Oakland-based artist Melanie Abrantes.

She also designed these stunning feather cookies, covered with glitter. They were as yummy as beautiful.  Finally, she designed and cooked these small watercolor cookies, bringing a soft touch to ...

When your studio is so gorgeously designed, it is prettier than most homes, you know you’ve got a good space on your hands. And I’m only slightly jealous of that whole wall full of entertaining accoutrements. Ok, ok maybe a bit more than slightly but do you blame me? Tour the stunning hub of  Spread Love Events +  The Collection Rentals  through the lens of  Whitney Krutzfeldt Photography   and prepare to fall hard for all those well styled bookshelves. It’s every creative’s dream to have a space to call their own! Spread Love Events has been able to tick that goal off their list, opening their own studio on the North Shore of Vancouver, Canada in 2016. Sharing the space with their sister company, The Collection Rentals, principal planner and creative director Ashley Bond had a vision in mind from the start. “When we first found this space it was exactly the size we wanted – but it had a black and red lino floor, black ceiling and very little natural l...
