And Now Back To Corn Reporting To Us Not-So-Live…

…from the wedding event at Paper-Source.
We were all exhausted from our crafting-gone-wild experiment, making our lovely, embossed take-out boxes. Luckily, I can smell wedding cake from a mile away and I was able to focus our energies on getting to the other side of the store where there was a cake tasting!
The owner of Athan’s Bakery in Brookline, MA was offering up samples of their totally divine, white chocolate wedding cake. I am an absolute sucker for white chocolate, which is essentially sugar and butter, so I was giddy with excitement to get a piece of this cake.
The outside of this cake was all white chocolate shavings piled on a white chocolate buttercream frosting. The cake had moist, delicious layers of chocolatey, mocha and raspberry goodness. I could have died right there on the floor and been happy. It seriously was a phenomenal cake.
As Toucan and I were having our cake and eating it too, Ted Clausen, a calligrapher, was setting up shop at a bench next to us. He had just arrived so we watched him warm up. Ladies, can I tell you that his ‘warming up’ examples were by far some of the prettiest things I had ever seen come from a pen?!
It honestly was mesmerizing to watch him write names on paper!
Don’t be frightened Mr Calligraphy man…Toucan won’t hurt you…uh…and neither will the cake guy 
Have you been to a Paper-Source wedding event? How was your experience? Any vendors you would like to share with us?

yeah, I’m definitely a scary bird. CLEARLY, I was just overly excited about my name on a piece of paper.
I went to the Pasadena event this weekend and learned about embossing. It was so much fund! I bought the heating tool and some new stamps, stamp pads and the special “powder”. I’m 17 days from the wedding and now adding embossing to all of the programs and seating cards. I might be crazy but I really love the look of embossing.
Paper Source rocks!
Maegan: You’re not alone! I almost jumped on purchasing the heating tool and powder but held back when Mrs. Corn suggested that I check out Michael’s or other large craft stores where there are often coupons and sales.
