Pottery Barn Field Trip

Beckwith Road was in Sherman Oaks today poking around at Pottery Barn. In recent months, they have been bumping up their party saavy in a bigger way. We even tried a wine tasting party featured several months ago by Pottery Barn to great success! If you look on Pottery Barn's entertaining section of their website, you will find video tutorials on recipes with step-by-step instructions. Just go to www.PotteryBarn.com., then go to the bottom of the front page and under "resources" click "videos". When videos comes up, click "see more". You will find demonstrations on how to present cheeses, Thanksgiving menus, brunch recipes such as a farmhouse brunch, Mexican food, tapas, pizza, wine information, and more. Have you ever watched any of the videos about the owners of the homes that Pottery Barn uses to shoot their catalogs in? You will find them under videos too. Very interesting stuff!
Pottery Barn is a division of Williams Sonoma. We liked the way they are merchandising for fall. Maybe it's not as "out there" as Anthro, but on another level~Pottery Barn~is carving out their own niche just as we should our own abodes.









This photograph is not Pottery Barn. It is a catering company in LA that has been garnering accolades recently. They are called "Heirloom LA Catering. One of their specialities is "lasagna cupcakes" among other wonderful treats. We included their picture as a creative way to present a fall menu. We love the use of rustic planks ~ rough hewn wood~ mixed amongst vintage drawers and wooden bowls. etc. This is a very creative use of space~don't you think??
