My cup of tea

Tamara Taggart, CTV news anchor, at The Cross Décor & Design, sipping tea.

It is so rewarding to be invited to events as a designer, more so when it is a Media event and you realize, Oh wait a minute…I am part of Media too (well, sort of, being only a blogger and not pretending to be anything else).
So this morning there was an event at The Cross Décor & Design, in Vancouver, for Media only (see above :) to present a new collection, of course there was also an excellent assortment of fragrant teas and a lusciously rich banana bread, but the most fun was to meet new people and to reconnect with friends.

Megan Close, Public and Media relations

and Stephanie Vogler, co-owner of the store.

I invite you now to go to The Cross blog and enjoy the Video shot at one of the best mansions in Vancouver, The Hycroft, where I also had the opportunity in the past to  shoot some of my B&W photography.  The video is called “Behind the Scenes” and talented Janis Nicolay was the still photographer.

Here are some of my images from today (I admit, lately I am using my iPhone…so easy to record moments)

A stunning textile for the drapery, a great collection of

art and design books in the background.

Pastel colors for toss pillows and table lamp.

Grey and beige, soft and elegant lines.

Bright cheerful yellow upholstered ottoman and ranunculus

…finally a sign of Spring.

Meet Josephine, part of the new line of furniture at The Cross Décor & Design,

with tufted arms ready to embrace you.

And don’t forget…The Cross was named “Retailer of the year” in 2011, not just for their extraordinary collection of furniture, accessories, lighting, linens…but also for the professional and enthusiast team behind it.
