Meet Frances Palmer at Legendary Chicago

Tabula Tua is honored to host Connecticut based artist and potter Frances Palmer at our Legendary Chicago wedding registry event on the afternoon of Sunday, March 14^th. Not only will Frances be available to answer all of your dinnerware questions, but she will be bringing with her many of her hand made, one of a kind pieces created especially for our event.

For those of you who are not familiar with Frances Palmer, you are truly missing out. Her pottery has been featured in dozens of publications, including House Beautiful, Oprah, and Martha Stewart Magazine. Her pieces are classic, elegant and organic, yet extremely functional for everyday use. Just think, each of her pieces began with a slab of clay, a wheel and great pair of hands.

We hope to see you at Legendary Chicago! RSVP to rsvp@tabulatua.com or 773.525.6590.

A Letter to Cupid

Dear Cupid,

You’re here already? I feel like just last week I was eating Santa shaped cookies and making my annual list of not so new New Year’s Resolutions. I am still finding pine needles in my carpet and you’re shooting arrows at my wreathed door. There are eight inches of snow on the ground but my inbox is flooded with e-mails speaking of flip flops and bathing suits. My apologies Cupid, it seems you’re old news and it’s not even the 14^th.

Regardless, your arrival means Tabula Tua’s Legendary Chicago Wedding Event is almost a month away. On Sunday, March 14th we will be hosting brides, grooms, and their guests to the store for an afternoon of wedding inspiration and indulgence. I don’t want to give too much away, but we will be unveiling five place settings inspired by the best this city has to offer. Plus, Calihan Catering will be serving up delicious hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. And bridal diets will be temporarily ruined by sweet treats by Bittersweet. Most importantly, we’ll be here to assist couples in creating their perfect registry.

So, I was wondering if you could spread the word while you’re out this weekend?  I have a feeling you’ll be very busy on Sunday.

Love,

Nicole
