O.K., so I just have to compare Michelle Obama’s inaugural ball gown to one of our new wedding invitations. It’s inevitable, it’s what I do. Designer Jason Wu's style is described as strong yet feminine. Michelle’s dress certainly fits the bill with its cascading design and fitted silhouette. Our falling circles invitation, designed by our own Jason, creates a cascading effect as well, while the bridal shower invitations show off the traditional wedding dress silhouette. 01.20.09 While cruising through the Internet and searching for the cutest new anything, I happily came across the Papery and Cakery site. This site has so much creativity and blends in stationery and baked goods, two of my all-time passions. This store, which happens to be one of our newer retailers, has the cutest Web showing I have seen. 01.13.09 An Open Letter to Our Operations Manager Now, Liz, don't get me wrong. You're an incredible company manager and
probably the only person around here who knows what's going on 100
percent of the time. No one's arguing about that. But we have to talk
about your desk. Simply, it is the Land of the Lost. One of these days
I expect to find clippings of newspapers from the 1800s underneath
those bags from Trader Joe's that you keep underneath it. (Lord, I hope
there's nothing perishable in there.) 12.19.08 She came, she saw, she baked, she conquered. Congratulations to
production artist Meg for winning the First Annual Luscious Verde
Secret Yeti Bake-Off, held yesterday during our holiday party (which is
the reason we may not have answered our phones for that last
half-hour). 12.18.08 It's the Holiday Yeti, Charlie Brown So, the holiday season is upon us. For many of us here at Luscious
Verde, that means a few things: our poor brains are frazzled from too
much fruitcake, widespread profanity can be heard in the parking lot
after an ice storm, and we're having our annual holiday mega-party. And
during this party every year, we have a "Secret Yeti" gift exchange
wherein we look deep into our hearts and get a co-worker the utmost of
joy and happiness that $15 can allow.

It is easy to maneuver with fresh designs and delicious new inventions just waiting to come out of the oven. I am truly excited to see how their site progresses. It just goes to show that a unique site can enhance your business. So, check them out and let us know what you think!
Also, if you have a site that needs new fresh pictures, please don’t hesitate to contact us! P.S. Their blog is mad cute as well, with the first page focusing on the color purple (the color, not the book/musical).

Didn't we all take a few
hours before Winter Break to generally clean our desk areas after the
craziness and mishegoss of Holiday '08? I mean, even Lindsay cleaned
her desk (and looks like she's kept it up)! But, like Pigpen, seconds
after it was clean, every loose paper, teabag, magazine, purse, coffee
mug and tchotchke found its way to your desk. This is no way to be. As
Jewel so fortuitously sang, "Who will save your desk, if you won't save
your own?" At least, I think that's what she said.
Anyway, think about it.
Love,
Anon.
The winning concoction was a cheesecake with berry topping.
Notable runners-up included owner Wendy's Pecan Squares, Rachel's
Cannoli Cake, Megan's Love Cookies, and Beth's Reindeer Droppings.
Really, there were no losers yesterday. With the amount of sweets being
eaten, we're all sure to have gained a little extra something (and
we're not talking about joy).
So we were thinking, if
price or feasibility was no object, what would be your ideal "Secret
Yeti" present? Herein are the results of an informal poll of some of
the employees of Luscious Verde. Witness the things in life we actually
care about:
Liz, operations manager: an Irish accent coach
Lindsay, assistant operations manager: a chauffeur
Beth, graphic designer: a trip to Mexico for a second honeymoon
Elizabeth, graphic designer: a house on the Outer Banks
Kevin, proofreader: the Secret Yeti himself
Jim, proofreader: a house somewhere in northeast Ohio, he doesn't really care where
Megan, estimating gal: a South American vacation that would avoid the drug cartel areas
Rebecca, print artist: a brick of hundred-dollar bills
Lena, print artist: a house in the country, ideally not in Ohio
Joe, plant manager: an Aston-Martin DB9
Brian, print artist: a hybrid car
Mayra, production artist: an eight-foot flat-screen TV
Sasha, production artist: a fully-loaded Audi S6
Channa, production artist: cupboard doors or a trip to Israel
Rachel, production artist: a life-size Lego replica of herself OR replacing the floors in her apartment with trampolines
Meg, production artist: free Melt for life
Laura, production artist: a life-size gingerbread house
Alex, packing and warehouse supervisor: a time machine
Chris, co-owner of Luscious Verde: a private Jason Mraz concert
Wendy, co-owner of Luscious Verde: a handmade hat
and, lastly, the only serious one:
Tony, print artist: wants his brother to come home from Iraq
Well, Tony, we hope that'll be happening soon. To everyone out there, have a great (and peaceful) holiday season.
