::i would love this job::events::

before my days as a mother, i was working for nordstrom. i worked in special events and coordinated events as the company opened new stores in new cities on the east coast. i LOVED my job. i worked for a great company with great people. i loved being behind the scenes setting up fashion shows even if it meant getting up at 4 in the morning to set up 300 chairs or dressing models in time for them to make it to the runway. i loved details, itineraries and timelines and in the end a finished result to recap. there was so much more to say….but it truly was an amazing experience.

i came across this event, outstanding in the field from a blog i like to follow called design sponge. the event happens all throughout the warmer months all over the country. the concept is genious and all of a sudden i had a pang of missing my old job. i envisoned myself setting up these tables and coordinating chefs and farmers and people who wanted to have a unique experience. photo credits:  outstanding in the field website.  jeremy fenske, elane skinner, andrea wyner, marina makropoulos, aaron fee, kate cross and brighton denevan

wouldn’t this be so fun to attend or work? do you think they need me to be a photographer/event coordinator? based on the photos they have and the set up….it looks like they have it nailed.

maybe for my birthday i will treat myself to attend as a guest. would you like to join me?
