Red Table Top Design Gala- ARC Ohio

Well, as promised, here are photos of our completed table top for the Red Table Top Design Gala held last weekend at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds Roundhouse to benefit Aids Resource Center Ohio. The fundraiser topped $370,000!
Our theme was "Alice in Wonderland". Jean really researched the book and came up with every possible aspect to create an exciting table design. Everyone is familiar with the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
The black rabbit is the March Hare.We didn't realize how top heavy our centerpiece would be. It was a little precarious, but held it's own throughout the event.Did you know there were lobsters and hedgehogs in the story?We created chair tags for each place by overlaying a copy of the original drawing on a copy of a page of the book. Don't you want to be the Cheshire Cat?Here's Jean working hard putting our table design together.The vintage alarm clocks are from Jean's collection. Don't they add a charming dimension to the table? This pretty much sums it up for Vintage Scout- "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." If we weren't, I don't think we'd still be here. Have a great weekend everyone!

red- Table Design Gala 2010

It is a bit quiet here in the studio this Friday afternoon. Jean and Dana are out getting ready to install our table top design for the big party this weekend- the 2010 red Table Design Gala. This event benefits the AIDS Resource Center Ohio; and can you believe it; it was sold out even before the invitations were sent!
Its a big mystery as to how the Scouts' design process evolves. Often times we ourselves don't even comprehend the genius process (tongue in cheek). We started out creating our table based on the poetry of Langston Hughes, only to end up with...Alice in Wonderland! Seriously though, as with most of our projects, we begin creating a montage of what we think might work in the design. It's amazing once you toss it all together, you can really tell what is going to work and what needs to go bye-bye. We thought you might enjoy this peek into what our table will look like. We'll post more photos next week after the event. If you'd like more information on this worthy fundraiser, go to www.arcohio.org
