Happy Birthday Dad 8/10!  :)

I had to bow out of wedding commitments for Aug. 9+10 weekend (but did do a spectacular one on 8.8.08 at the York Harbor Inn) because my dad and my Uncle’s model cars from the 50’s and 60’s were on display at the MFA for a special exhibit on the Fisher Body Craftsman’s Guild! It’s not quite wedding material, but I wanted to post a few photos just in case a random groom perusing the web is also a car buff

Contestants constructed 1/12 scale, futuristic model “dream cars” from 1937 to 1968. The top scoring models won university scholarship trust funds for their creators, namely - teenage boys and college age young men.  You can see a lot of the designs from yesteryear have made their way into the automotive industry over the last few decades. Many guildsmen went on to work in the automotive industry, design realm or skilled craft work. So much I could write, but I did get goosebumps and was so proud of my dad and uncle’s when I walked in and saw their cars on display!

I didn’t have a good camera - these were done “no flash” (museum policy) with a point and shoot so you won’t get all the detail I had hoped to capture. Click to see full size, then click that image again.

The rain has been crazy in these parts (as most in the North East) and I had to stop to showcase Jackson Falls, a scenic wedding ceremony location… on most days. In the photos you will see Kristy + Jason’s ceremony site from 7/26/08…. they would definitely be underwater today Click to view full size…and again, I hope to post video clips soon - been busy  

Still looking for that perfect wedding gift? All week at Mount Sunapee Resort in Newbury, NH there will be over 350 juried League members. True NH Crafts for that Perfect NH wedding!

I couldn’t sleep! I kept replaying the events of last night! This 1920’s theme wedding was OUT of this WORLD! I am so impressed with Sarah and Johnny’s talent to dance, and talented group of family and friends. The wedding was at the Nestlenook Inn, Jackson NH. We have lots of photos and video to come, but before I head out today I wanted to give a sneak peak at how great Beth from Sugarmaker Bakery did on the cake - it was just like the photo Sarah gave her! More to follow. Enjoying company in from CA today!

I was in the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and Earth & Fire Studio to pick up our locally made glass blown lights created by Philip Jacobs for our house and was talking with Karissa his wife about weddings…she said that just the other day a B+G were in choosing a potter & pottery they liked and wanted on their registry - I thought what an AWESOME idea. Now-a-days so many B+G’s are moving in “prior” to tying the knot that they already have a lot of those standard registry items. If you are looking to start a collection of heirloom pieces, or just want one or two pieces to represent your special occasion, give Karissa a call to talk about a registry and you can have your guests contribute too.

Mo the Clown does weddings! This is great - Mo tracked me down and I am so glad because this would be a great addition to a ceremony or reception…especially one with KIDS!!  Mo actually does weddings too (JP)

Thanks Mo!

“I’ve done a lot of work in the MW Valley: Cranmore, Conway Scenic RR, Settler’s Green, the Chambers of Commerce various events. I get there early, balloon as many of the guests as possible, and continue ballooning after the ceremony.
      I am working with some magicians to add magic to the performances. Have the newlyweds disappear at the end of the party…”

I just finished tweaking their wedding video so it’s officially time to get the rank up on Beat It! I just re-formatted and added to YouTube! Jamie and the girls put on a great performance! Check it out and get our numbers up!

NOT ME! My sister… I will be back in the Studio on Monday
Just a little sneak peak… I was LOL at the “That Guy” card game…ahhh she doesn’t know what’s coming her way!

Congratulations my cousin Francesca Simone! She will be going to the Miss America Pageant in 2009! Fran is getting her Masters and studying vocal performance at the Boston Conservatory.  

She won the talent portion of the evening, won the Miss America Academic Scholarship, and an array of other scholarships she can use now and in future degree programs!

Fran has a HUGE year coming up, this goes so much further beyond the crown and title. She has a lot of work coming up both in the schools, for her platform, Alzheimer’s Awareness and to many other causes.

We are so proud of you! Wish we could have been there!
