Our day on the island and mini photo shoot ~
Last month the Venue Vixens, along with Visiting Vixen Sarah w/Cuttings Floral Design and Vixen Photographer Allison w/Allison Stahl Photography drove the short drive down I-5 toward Stockton to spend the afternoon on the California Delta on Little Venice Island. First we picked up (large!) mimosas at Herman & Helen’s Marina and jumped into the speed boat for the trip across to the island. Below is Shauna Sweeney (in red) – her family owns Little Venice Island.
Vixen Catrina looks quite happy!! She seems to fit right in with the River Life.
This island is so-so cool. Manicured lawn, yet leaving the riparian life with reeds, cottonwood trees and brush.
And Vixen Laurie also was enjoying the sunshine, the rope swing and Island Life!
Vixen Lora and florist Sarah set up for a photo shoot. A little game of chess or sitting in front of a fire pit is what any self-respecting islander would do to wile away the hours. We were served a fantastic lunch, so wanted to have a themed table to compliment the setting.
Classic Party Rentals provided the china… Vixen Lora selected everything with a purpose. Charger plates with “bubbles” around the edge, green square plates with “ripples,” green water glass and a “wavy” wine glass all set on a well-loved collection of wooden table and chairs to “ground” to the setting. Sarah with Cuttings Floral Design created the collection of rocks, moss, mum heads, fern curls, horse tails and the accent frog. Love it!
In another blog post, which we’ll do in a couple more days, you’ll see all the dee-licious Vixen Vittles served to us by Macadamia Catering & Events out of San Francisco. Killer!!
Thank you Allison Stahl for your great eye and photography talents. We love having you as a Vixen Vendor!!
