Winnipeg Green Show!

After a couple of super busy weeks, today is getting a late start.  Actually, today is pretty much getting no start as it's 3:30 and I'm starting to look at my work for the week...however, after being a pretty negligent wife and mom for the past couple weeks, today there is food in my cupboards and my son is wearing clean clothes again :)

Last week I helped to plan a media dinner to promote the Winnipeg Green Lifestyle & Organic Living Show.  I wish I had pictures, because it was really a great night, but I don't.  The Show organizers held a Big Green Dinner at Kimch'i Cafe in the Exchange District.  Dinner was prepared by the chefs from the Fairmont, Diversity Foods, Dandelion Eatery, and Kimch'i.  I rarely eat at events (and never eat warm food), but at the Big Green Dinner I got to sit down and enjoy one of the best meals I've ever tasted.  I was also fortunate to sit at the same table as Judy Wasylycia-Leis, who was really lovely and has some great ideas on how to run this city.

Over the weekend the Winnipeg Green Lifestyle Show took place at the Convention Centre.  I set up my booth to look like a vintage garden-party, inspired by a stack of vintage ribbon that my husband found in our storage room. I met many engaged couples and people that were willing to pass on my card to couples that they knew, and also made some good connections for non-profit and corporate events.  I was super impressed with the show and the turnout....Here's a few photos of my booth:

I used mason jars tied to sticks as a garden-y vase.  All flowers were from Strawberry Lane at the St. Norbert Farmers' Market:

I love these round yellow flowers.  Does anyone know what they are?

My sister-in-law, Char, was a really good sport and pulled this driftwood out of the riverbank for me.  It turned out to be exactly the look I was hoping for:
