Natalie Bowen Studio

CW paid a visit to floral designer Natalie Bowen's studio in the Dog Patch district of San Francisco. She loved the open space of the studio interspersed with "certain moments of "nook & cranny" usage of space". And her friend got to sit down with Natalie and talk about floral arrangements for her wedding. An aesthetically productive weekend indeed!

From the Studio: Leaky Wednesday


Ok...so I guess if we have weekly Happy Cupcake Fridays at our Cat Seto studio, we're bound to have an annoying "Leaky Wednesday" right? Thanks to Cadenza and Freya, they were able to stem the water heater leak and prevent any damage of our paper goods!

Post Halloween Pics

I'm late in posting these, but thought I'd share some pics from our little Halloween team meeting last Friday (we were quite sugar buzzed from all the treats, no pun intended!). Below are two of my creative and industrious interns in their bat/bee costumes.

Yes, it's Happy Cupcake Friday. And nope, I don't have my posts all switched... that chandelier you see is really an installation made entirely of rock sugar! Yum. This was on exhibit at the De Young but I only caught it via Atelier 29.
