Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. 

 -C.S. Lewis

We're sure there must have been a time in both of our lives when we were too cool and too mature to enjoy a fairy tale.  In our eyes, fairy tales had become child's play.  We couldn't possibly be bothered with a silly world of fantasy, c'mon...we had much better grown-up things to do.

Fortunately, we have passed that stage and are currently now "old enough" to enjoy fairytales yet again.  However, not only are we enjoying them, we are creating them.




With some help from a little one who has yet to cease believing and enjoying...

To say that Saturday evening was magical would not be enough.  We were so lucky to have been able to experience yet another year of The Fairy Tale Ball.  Benefiting The Children's Museum of Southeastern CT, the spectacular event was held this year at Sonalyst Studios in Waterford. 
Event chair, Josh Chalmers, did an amazing job coordinating all that made this evening special.

Each table is sponsored by both businesses and individuals and represents a children's themed book.
Creating "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" was our way of not letting the Christmas season end quite yet. 

Thanks to our special guest, Bob DuFour, Santa really did make one last appearance before preparing for next Christmas.

The past three years we have enjoyed being a part of such a wonderful event. Specifically being able to create for two of those years alongside some incredibly talented people.

The tables were amazing, the food utterly scrumptious, and the company marvelous. 

To be able to do what we enjoy most, as well as benefit an organization such as the Children's Museum of Southeastern CT is such a privilege.

We already have great anticipation for what next years ball may bring, and we have begun brainstorming!

We have been searching for this sign for our office.  It currently describes our work/personal lives, as it would for most people this time of year.  We have so many wonderful events coming up within the next several weeks! 
This coming Saturday we'll find ourselves at Kidds & Co in North Stonington.  We'll be having lunch, with a visit from Santa Claus. 
Later that evening the employees of Kidds and Co will be gathering for a wonderful holiday celebration.
Wednesday December 9th, we are hosting a Cast and Crew Party for all those who have been a part of "Chit-Chat with The Party Producers (thus far)."
Next weekend we'll be traveling to Groton on saturday to meet up with Santa yet again.  At the Lighthouse Voc-Ed Center, he'll be meeting with the friends and family of clients and staff, where we will enjoy some yummy milk and cookies.
We are looking forward to these events, as well as of the smaller activities/events planned for the weeks ahead.  Check back soon to see what else is coming our way, and hopefuly yours as well!

Thanksgiving is a time for togetherness... it's an occasion to be spent in the warm and loving company of family, loved ones, and friends. Enjoying turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pies together with those close to us. Thanksgiving is also an opportunity to renew the ties that bind us with the ones we love... it is a time for remembering, cherishing, and being thankful for all the good things we have been blessed with. So it's time to say 'Happy Thanksgiving.'

Another "boo-tiful" Halloween Open House

Our theme this year brought us back to the 1950's

when we had it all: sock hops, soda pop, hula hoops,
poodle skirts, and drive-ins were all the rage. 

Among other "spook"-tacular costumes there were greasers,

soda jerks, pink ladies, Lucy, the Milkman, a pink poodle,

a Supreme, and even a roller skating car-hop

delivering the goodies.  Hundreds of trick-or-treaters

came by to haunt our soda fountain, lucky for us they found our confectioneries much more enticing.

It truly was a night where Food, Friends, and Fun

were plentiful.

Stay tuned for our 2010 Halloween theme...

lights, cameras........action (eventually)

Chit Chat: light informal conversation for social occasions

We would like to share some exciting news with everyone. Thanks to Kathy Greene, the Director of Lighthouse Voc-Ed Center (Groton, CT) we have been given a wonderful opportunity. Alongside of Alec Aston, a Southeastern CT film producer, we will soon be bringing "Chit Chat" with The Party Producers to the world wide web.


The Party Producers are all about celebrating. "Chit Chat" is a short web show recognizing people that make our community special; a celebration of a different kind.


We've currently met with several guests and done several tapings. At first our nerves were running high, who would have thought that silence would be possible with the two of us present? But, after several weeks of recording, we are now comfortable in our setting and the action has begun!

The Party Producers have returned from a much needed vacation in California. We are rejuvenated and ready for what the next few months may bring us.

This week we are anticipating Lighthouse Voc-Ed Center's staff development day, to be held on Friday. We have a special surprise to help them through their intense day filled with workshops.

Two special events to look forward to this holiday season are a lunch and photo-op with Santa at Kidds & Co. LLC in North Stonington, as well as an afternoon with the man himself, some cookies, and tons of smiles for the camera at Lighthouse Voc-Ed Center in Groton.
