2015 Handpicked | A Different Kind of Bridal Event

April 16, 2015 by Matt

Every community seems to have a bridal show, if not multiple bridal shows.  Usually the “expo” style show, it has plenty of vendors with lots of services for bride-to-be’s. Nothing against that, but it can be hard to find truly unique and special artists and designers at these type of events.  And if you’re like me, you’ve probably noticed the trend toward supporting local, talented artists and service providers.  Especially here in Cleveland, who doesn’t love The Cleveland Flea, The Cleveland Bazaar and all the other seasonal events and activities that bring our local, talented community together?  In fact, I’m proud to be participating in an upcoming bridal event that promises to be very special.  Just like our community. This one of a kind event is: 2015 Handpicked | a Different Kind of Bridal Event. It’s a Bridal Show – Meets – Styled Shoot Creation by Baci Designer.

Ever been to MOCA?  That’s the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland.  MOCA.  Say it out loud.  MO-CA. Jut your chin out on the MO and pull it back on the CA.  I know it sounds silly.  Just do it.  It’s fun.  Anyway, I’m off topic.  Handpicked takes place on Friday, May 1st from 5:30 to 9pm at MOCA (you did the chin jut didn’t you?) and we hope to see you there. We’re proud to have been handpicked to participate in this really unique event, and showcase our inspirational Destination Tree centerpieces, Driftwood Signs and Collages.  My own wedding day was one of the best days of my life. And I’m truly honored I get to create inspirational decor and memorable gifts that contribute to this very special occasion for others.

Cheers,

Matt

Storytime With Mr. Rogers

December 3, 2014 by Matt

Ahh, storytime. Remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books?  I loved those as a kid. And as far as storytellers, (the real) Mr. Rogers was always inspirational. I hope you enjoy my funny spin on storytime with this video.  I wanted to highlight some of Destination Tree’s driftwood hanging signs and share some of their inspirational messages.  It’s no Choose Your Own Adventure, but it’s hopefully good for a laugh.

Enjoy, and Live Inspired!

-Matt

P.S. For your reading pleasure, here’s the transcript and pictures of this Destination Tree driftwood story… 🙂

An Angry Koala

What do you do when an angry koala escapes from it’s zoo cage next to you?  BE BRAVE. BE YOU.

With a high pitched squeal, you let out a few choice expletives in terror…YOUR SAYING GOES HERE.

Suddenly you remember you have superhero-like powers…DREAM IT. DARE IT. DO IT.

But then it spots you with it’s cold blank stare. NOW what do you do? CHOICES: FIGHT OR QUIT.

It starts crawling next to you..time to run…HOME!

Then you remember your wife and the group you came with are standing by waiting for your reaction. BE BOLD. BE YOU.

It’s getting close, time to make your move. This is your chance to be the hero…CARPE DIEM.

It throws it’s arms up inches away from you…FREE HUGS!

With a grin on your face and a hearty chuckle, you grab it and bring him in for the big hug. LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE.

A sigh of relief is heard from the onlookers…BE AWESOME. BE YOU.

You knew all along you hand this handled, cause you’re one of a kind! BE GENUINE. BE YOU.
