My Little…Shovel Shop? If a client needs one…

Groundbreaking shovels - painted gold to catch the eye

My Little Flower Shop‘s event work doesn’t begin and end at flowers.  Clients need it? It gets handled.  Well, actually, we decided not to paint the handles on these shovels we designed for the recent groundbreaking at the CPV Sentinel Power Plant in Desert Hot Springs. Gold blades and cheerful blue bows did the trick.  Here they are before arrival, and in action, looking fabulous.

We also did the lovely party, here are a few shots before the celebrating began.

An elegant buffet accented by a vintage "cheesecake" poster in the client's "Bikini" theme. Classy with a kick.

It all added up to one happy client.

Greg,

I just wanted to thank you for a terrific job you did with regard to our event.  The bikini bar and event area took on a new presence thanks to your efforts, and we are grateful to you for that.  I lost track of you at the celebration itself, but hope you were able to enjoy some of the food and drink.

I also hope that you got a chance to see some of the Channel 3 coverage of the groundbreaking itself.  The gold shovels sparkled beautifully in the sun and were a great accent to that event.

Thanks for all!
