Do you love football? Who doesn't? If you're not a football fan, you may not be aware that Houston, my new city, is host to Super Bowl LI. If you already know that, old new then. But yay for me.
If you don't like football, it's perfectly ok to scroll down, enjoy the images. This is one of my fun get-to-know-Houston projects.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Ashley Amanda, @newmominanewera celebrating her blog's first anniversary with a group of her besties who also happens to be, you guessed it, bloggers.

When longtime and seasoned wedding events creative, Kensington Flowers and Events Inc come calling, you go!
And so began the May inaugural DMV Wedding and Events vendor Showcase at the Signature Blue event center in Beltsville, MD orchestrated by the very seasoned Paulina 'Nana' Kodua of Kensington Flowers and Events, and her dear friend, Tina Ajari Bello of Elite Party Rental and Events.
The goal as stated by Nana was both "a one-stop-shop for vendors that will make your event take off with class, attention to detail, and utmost satisfaction" and an excellent opportunity for collaboration amongst event creatives in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area. Although I had a previous engagement that day, my friend and sister Chuigo, call her Chu-Chu, stood in for me and didn't disappoint. I stopped long enough to capture a few images as vendors were setting up.
Enjoy.
Oh this cake, this cake, this cake... I actually smelled the sugar as I stood next to it. Had to zoom in for the details. God bless women ... from our head to toe. Unquie pieces to complement any attire.
Party rentals ... what's your pleasure
Custom gifts, hand selected, just for you and your guests. Leave the planning to the experts.
Right there ... got it! She's always on POINT!
