About Town :: Design*Sponge Seattle Event
Last night was the Design*Sponge event in Seattle. And judging by the turnout, you were there too! A huge group of people lined the stairs at Anthropologie downtown Seattle to meet Grace Bonney and get their copy of Design Sponge at Home signed. Guests were feted with champagne cocktails and chocolate provided by hometown favorite, Theo Chocolates. Turns out Grace is a dark chocolate fanatic too - so it was good for everyone.
After having a book signed, guests could have their photo taken in front of this custom designed paper wall. Designer Matthew Parker created this with his friends and it was really cool. Each city had a different wall for photos created by a local designer. San Francisco had a cookie wall. Yum.
Matthew put me to shame, as I do all this with an (almost) eight week old, and he was there with his beautiful two week old daughter in a front pack. Side note - I'm a little obsessed with Matthew's website right now.
If you weren't at the event, be sure to pick up a copy of the Design Sponge book. I got mine at Anthropologie because you get an extra 16 pages in their copy.
