we’re two days in to 2014, and so far, so good. like every other sucker with a blog or a business, i’m ready to kick things up a notch this year. won’t you join me? the mister got me those fancy japanese clippers for christmas, and i can’t wait to break them in. here’s what in store for the upcoming year.

valentine’s day, baby. it’s going to get all kinds of romantic up in here. and a little cheeky too. i think i’m going to put pussy willow in everything. is that going too far? there will be pictures, prices, and a bigcartel shop for ordering online, hopefully in the next week or so. this will be something of a limited engagement, so make sure to jump on it when the opportunity comes around. i promise to be really noisy about it, so you won’t miss your chance.

march 13th brings around the eugene luxe bridal event at the hult center, and i hope i’ll see you there! i exhibited at their first show two years ago and it was a blast. it’s a great chance to meet some of my favorite folks in the area and really experience their services. i’ll have a bajillion flowers of course, so do please bury your face in the bouquets.

weddings are kicking into high gear this year too. there’s is going to be so much loveliness to share with you all. 2014’s brides so far all have the best ideas, and it’s so fun to have so much to look forward to. if you’re getting hitched, now’s the time to get in touch since dates are filling up.

there’s a lot to look forward to, but one of my most anticipated projects is going to launch sooner than the rest. engaging eugene, a networking event for local wedding and event people is happening on january 14th at the barn light. becky from event crush and i have put a lot of thought and work into this and it’s going to be a blast. this is not your average stuffy business thing. come have a drink and hang out with your colleagues. we’re a particularly creative bunch, and spending time together can only be inspiring! engaging eugene is really more than just a networking event though. i’ve set up forums on the website, and there will be regular blog posts with the best business advice and anecdotes i know how to give. it’s truly for the whole community, so let me know what you want to see.

what are you up to this year? what’s new?
