A Website is Born

After months of collaboration and lots of hard work, petitepigchocolates.com is finally live! I could not have done any of this without the help of my husband, our great friend Ryan, the amazing designer Russ and the talented Jake. Thank you so much for all the hours of work and putting up with me going back and forth with details >_<

That being said, there are still some things I would like to polish up but one thing I have learned with launching something is that you just have to dive in. Take the plunge, don't look back, onward and upward. For now, with bleary eyes I will dream of...truffle cones.

Unveiled

Please join us at Unveiled on Sunday April 1st! We are debuting a fun new chocolate favor and an assortment of treats. A sneak peak after the jump with more to come.

Soolip

The ever-fabulous girls from GATHER Events were, and always are, so nice to invite me to join them at A Soolip Wedding on Sunday. It was the most gorgeous day in Los Angeles - a balmy 80º - and couldn't be set in a more beautiful place than the Bel Air Bay Club. I can't think of a better way to spend the afternoon than sipping Acai cocktails (mojitos and pink lemonade anyone?), nibbling on tasty h'ors oeuvres and best of all, meeting some the best and most creative pros in the wedding arena. Jumping into this world of weddings and events has been so much more fun and motivating than I could have imagined. Everyone I have met has been so gracious, candid, helpful and inspiring.

For a full list of vendors that participated in Soolip check them out here, but some of my favs were Utterly Engaged (Henny is cuter than a button and I want to put her my pocket), Tower Films, Archive Vintage Rentals, Soolip naturally and, of course, GATHER Events. Can't wait for the next one! Unveiled is coming up April 1st so stay tuned.

Even though I have been living in L.A. for a few years now and it is my day-to-day reality, my memory of the city will always be the way I imagined it before I moved here. A vintage version of the city with the requisite palm trees, beaches, fit and tan people, mid-century modern design. That image makes it easy to dream up a menu of retro flavors so the wheels are turning. In between while I let the cogs rest, I browse the internet mindlessly and find all sorts of fun things. Lists help to keep things straight and the bonus is sharing it with anyone who cares to look!
