A NIGHT OF MYSTERY?????

Whew! Last night was spent at the super fun American Visionary Arts Museum in Baltimore for Uncorked! 2011 presented by the Baltimore Chapter of NACE. It is a fun filled night with a wine dinner and table competition.  Proceeds will benefit Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland, the Foundation of NACE, and the Baltimore Chapter of NACE Education Fund. 

 It started off with meeting Kelsey (Bradshaw Styling) as I walked in. Her hair was in a ponytail and I asked her how many bobby pins she had on her. She had 5...we made it work and dressed up her blonde locks in the bathroom :)  

 Making our way to the cocktail hour we found that a good majority of the guests were having their Aura read.  I'm orange-red and I like to think that is sassy but it really is artistic (go-figure), physical-creative, expression and excitement. 

After catching up with some familiar faces and meeting some new ones (more on those in another post), we headed upstairs to cast our votes for our favorite tables. Here is a sneak peek (super non-pro as I shot the pics as I was walking around). The amount of work that went into these tables is incredible. Each design was supported by the "A Night Of Mystery" theme. Enjoy my random selections. My photos really don't do these divine designs justice. 

My view for the night: 

 I was seated with some of my favorite guys and gals! Our table was designed by Stephanie and team at Bradshaw Styling. To my right I had the sweetest Lerkia from Savvy Soirees Event Planning and to my left I had sweet Kelsey with her fabulous 2 minute blonde bun.  

Carla David Designs did a super job on the menu cards for the table. 

The ladies (+Chris):

L-R Kelsey, Lisa, Carla, Stephanie, Ashley, Lerkia, Chris

 ...and the fun of being at the Pink Panther table...

 Couldn't leave out the boys

One shoulder dresses rock :) ...and updating facebook as the evening went on. 

 Yum! 2nd course and it was fab! Asiago- herb risotto cake with caramelized onion remoulade. Paired with Robert Mondavi Private Selection Chardonnay 2008. 

Ah-mazing cupcakes from Caroline's Cupcakes. They were super delish!

My favorite photo of the night!
