We’re off!

We ended 2009 with the Ruby Press Christmas Party at Crown & Crumpet yesterday…yay!!  {And don’t be fooled by these party pics from the tea room- there was plenty of champagne flowing as well!}  What a great way to end the year- with our fabulous team.  Thanks so much for all that you do- Angela, Kate, Terra, and Kadie!  We wouldn’t be Ruby Press without you!  And to our blog readers- we may not have met the majority of you, but we feel like we know you.  Thanks so much for checking in with us each day and for your sweet and thoughtful comments!  We’re all really looking forward to a wonderful 2010 together!

Horse Show Ribbons

I totally have a thing for vintage horse show ribbons.  I have a black one on my bulletin board that has an almost gothic feel {does that even seem possible?}- and Crown & Crumpet’s gift certificates are made up in horse show ribbons.  How genius!

The Sweetest Things…

I feel like a proud parent- two of our clients are nominated for Daily Candy’s Sweetest Things! Plover Organic for the Nest category (Everywhere), and Crown & Crumpet for the Bite category (San Francisco). Of course, I think they are both tops- as any good parent would. And if you agree, you can vote for both by clicking here and here.

Congrats to the ladies of Plover Organic and Amy and Chris from Crown & Crumpet! And good luck! xx

Galliano & Crumpets

Is it just me or does John Galliano’s spring collection seem to be inspired by Crown & Crumpet?

Some shots from the runway & some shots from our Crown & Crumpet {an interior shot and one from the opening party}…
