A Fabulous Soiree

Thank you to everyone who came out to our little soiree on Friday night. I had such a great time...it was fun to have an evening event with all the twinkly lights and holiday cheer.
Saturday did not disappoint with friends and customers who traveled in the nasty weather to check off their christmas shopping list.

If you missed the show and are looking for something special for yourself or anyone on your shopping list, or if there is an item in the photos you are interested in, please contact me at cindy@tarte.us
I should have my online store up and running soon.....



The December event at the Land of Tarte has been cancelled.

We will all (Myself, Annie, Fannie & Abigail, Barn House) be at the Monticello Antique and Marketplace Christmas Show from December 4th and running through the month. So come out and see us there, many of the areas best dealers set up at Monticello.

Bridal Faire



Here are a few photos from the bridal faire.....I loved how the space turned out. Pale robins egg blue background with canvas floors and curtains. Just the perfect amount of rust and white iron and the lovely redish orange rose hips and flowers. A mix of roses, tulips, sunflowers, dahlias and twigs. Everything you see in the photos is for rent....events and weddings large and small. Enjoy! xoxo Cindy

Natalies cake was a huge hit....the pumpkin spice cake with orange zest frosting is my personal favorite. Such a perfect addition to a country or vineyard wedding!
