Visit from Renata and Stella & Dot Trunk Show

One of my best friends, Renata, made her way up to Seattle from Sacramento (specifcally, Rocklin) Dec 3-5 for a much needed visit as well as host a Stella & Dot trunk show at my house.  Renata is now a stylist with S&D, and you can order anytime online through her http://stelladot.com/sites/renatabunawan

We packed a lot in, in the 48 hours she was in town.  Friday evening was The Junction here in West Seattle, snooping at a few boutiques, and doing a quick wine tasting at bin 41Then back to my area of WS for dinner at Angelina's with Rob.  Saturday was trunk show prep, then the open house from 1pm-4pm.  We had a pretty good showing, some wine and snacks and lots of fun pics (see below).  We did really well on our sales (even a few online orders!), so both of us are happy!!   After the trunk show, it was off to a german beer pub here in WS called Prost, with Aydan and Lori.  Prost is an awesome little spot here in WS.  We loved it!!  Next stop was dinner over in lower Queen Anne w/ Lisa Taylor at Toulouse PetitWe shared a few items, including a dish that was featured on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate
Final stop was one of my fav places in Seattle, Purple Wine Bar & Cafe. I really love the Seattle location, so of course wanted Renata to experience it as well.  By this time of the evening, we were just wanting a little dessert and a little wine.  I suggested the flights, since they are all small pours of 4 wines.  Definitely we should have just shared one flight to taste, not both order one.  Waaaaay too much wine! HA  Didn't really finish much, but great people watching and energy at Purple.

Sunday we met up with Vonna and her daughter, Vivi, at BOKA Kitchen in dowtnown Seattle at Hotel 1000.  Really great brunch, then a little snooping around at one of my fav stores, Watson Kennedy
Whew!  Did a lot of fun stuff in just about 48 hours! :-)   Please, come back soon Renata!!
