Moulin Rouge at Manhattan Beach

Kim has once again outdone herself.  Her Moulin Rouge art affaire was about as beautiful as can be.  And her line up of teachers was tip top. Not only did we get four full classes, we also got a make and take from Christine to create these rose corsages from silk she picked up on her trip to Italy last month.

Learning how to quickly make a full fledged rose, from 3 squares of fabric is a trick that I will enjoy and use over and over. Thanks, Christine!

Kim has quite the touch. Everything matches the theme and is touched with beauty, including our itineraries.

Just beautiful. Over the top beautiful. I swear, if you ever get a chance, you really need to go to one of her events.  Kim has mad skills. So does my pal, Jenn, who knows how to throw a shindig with beauty and class too.   You cannot go wrong attending any arty party thrown by either one of them. Jenn still has some openings for her bash in October. Details can be found by clicking on the button on my side bar.

Neither of them spare any expense.  And it shows.  Kim's Moulin Rouge  blew me away.   And now I am even more excited about going to Jenn's this fall!  I love these type of events, and when they are done this well, they are are work of art in themselves. 

Jenn's theme will be Once Upon a Dream, and I know it will be just dreamy. And will have fairies!!!!!!!!  I'm already in love with it.

I just hope that people who come to my party in the studio at the end of April are not disappointed. I am not even going to try to compete with the masters of detail, Jenn and Kim. My little gathering will be a whole different thing. No elaborate centerpieces, no costumes (or should I ask everyone to dress up like a bird?).  Mine will be laid back and simple. 

But after living in Kim's Moulin Rouge world for the weekend, I'm feeling guilty about not trying to build a themed environment!! It was so impressive.

More tomorrow.  I didn't take as many photos as I should have, but I do have plenty to share.

  1. I wish I could have gone to Kim’s event it looks as spectacular as her past events. I am going to Jenn’s so I will see you there! I am so excited. I am sure your party will be wonderful! Grace xoox

  2. Karla,
    When I was 3 or 4 I was in a dance recital as a robin. The costume was black crepe paper ruffles but I don’t think I could fit into it now! That’s as close as I could get to dressing as a bird these days LOL! Looks like it was quite an affair that Kym had. Glad that you had a great time.
