For those of you who don’t know Bunny Mellon she is my inspiration and idol next to the one and only Jacqueline Kennedy (ironic because they were friends!). She is a philanthropist, art collector, and one of this countries most famous gardeners (she created the rose garden at the White House!). I also love that she spends time away from her 4,000 acre farm in Virginia, to be here on Cape Cod and Nantucket. That means I am holding out hope to meet her one day
It’s inspiring people like this, that keep me striving to be better at my job, and a better person.

The whole DSE clan was in Boston this March to absorb 3 days of all things Desiree Spinner Events! We brushed up on our Adobe and Microsoft skills, and talked client protocol. So so happy we are all on the same page, and functioning as one big bad wedding team!
Thanks so much to Fringe Union for letting us take over the conference room, and special xoxo’s to Tyra Bleek who captured some images of the training sesh. PS check out the DSE color ink that just happened to be on the letter press next door!
