Spring Blogger Event ~ Sandra’s Summer Carnival Launch Party in NYC #bySandraLee
by Rebecca E. Parsons
The big event happened on Friday afternoon, when 16 top-tier bloggers from around the US gathered in New York City at the invitation of Sear’s and KMart to celebrate the launch of the Sandra by Sandra Lee collection. Entrepreneur, TV star and bestselling author Sandra Lee was the perfect hostess for this soiree ~ entertaining, charming and very personable. (see my post from yesterday about how she rendered me speechless…)
Sandra’s Summer Carnival was held at The Kitchen NYC in Manhatten. The 8,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art kitchen studio, production and event space located in midtown Manhattan, was decorated for Sandra Lee festive summer fun. Of course every detail was well executed and showcased her exclusive collection of home products including cookware, utensils, gadgets, bakeware, small kitchen appliances, tabletop items and storage solutions.
We had brunch. We chatted with Sandra, the Sear’s and Kmart reps and the other bloggers. We did tablescaping and learned how to make a few of Sandra’s famous cocktails. Sadly, we did not have enough time to cook!!!
The venue was spectacular…the food delicious…the company delightful! I could wordsmith it for hours; however, I will allow the images to tell the story of the afternoon…
Cheers!!
My trip to New York is sponsored by Sear’s. All opinions are 100% my own.
