Put on your dancing shoes and join the party!

The Twitter party, that is!  I have been urging my friends and clients to join us on Twitter- it’s really like a fun cocktail party where you can chat with friends and make new ones!  Drop by whenever you like, see pretty things, have a laugh, and wake up the next morning without a nasty hangover!  Today I reached an even 1,000 followers on Twitter and I am truly honored and tickled that you {my Twitter friends} have joined me! If you haven’t yet, find me here.

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!

Rosenow!

We’re thrilled to announce a new addition to the Ruby Press family~ Rosenow Floral Design!

We are huge fans of her work- lush, full arrangements in stylish, unique vessels and amazing colors. Call for her Perfect Posy Service {415-424-7437} and have gorgeous flowers delivered to your door- or someone else’s. And of course, Erin does wonders for weddings and events…

The Heywood Building: Ruby Press HQ

I fell in love with our office space the minute I saw it. It’s in downtown Berkeley and is a historic building built in 1917 called the Heywood Building. Our PR agency fills the whole top floor of the white terra cotta gothic faced structure.

Designed by architect James Plachek, (who also designed the Berkeley Library on Shattuck Avenue) the building was featured in a 1919 issue of Architect and Engineer magazine!

Then and now…
