Love 146

this year for valentines day,

cam and i decided not to do anything for each other.

over $13 billion is spent on vday each year,

and i think that is such a waste.

so we decided to go to our dear friend, Shellie's,

non-profit fund raiser.

It was at the fabulous Pomegranate Place

and it was just a measly $10 donation to get in.

it was benefitting Love 146

whic is a program started to

end child sex slavery and trafficking.

it is an amazing cause.

so please go to the link above for a great website,

some videos, and some great stories.

-

on a brighter note, there were a million amazing desserts

provided by local businesses (cheesecake factory, whole foods, etc)

and made by some awesome girls, and wine donated by

local liquor stores!!!!

this mansion was beautiful and i want to live there.

i loved every single thing about it.

seriously.

my photos don't do it justice.

this is shellie with the amazing black pants, and super high heels.
the bar.

love the hearts

and on the table is a "tree" with heart ornaments on it for sale.

see how cute!

and the candle holders were made by shellie and emily

from poured concrete (into paper cups, and then cups torn away once dry)

yummy amazing food

ADORABLE

(and delicous)

every bit of stationary and sign and everything, SO CUTE

(did i mention shellie's a graphic designer/interior designer?)
