For the Kids!

Common Threads

Monday (St. Patrick’s Day) was the annual Common Threads World Festival at the MCA, and we must say it was a pretty swank party. Lots of charitable giving, lots of fun, lots of wine and lots of celebrity chefs. The Top Chef crew were there (Padma Laksmi, Gail Simmons and Tom Coliccio) as well as Rocco DiSpirito, Michael Chiarello, Paula Deen and after party musical guest John Legend. In all, over $377,000 was raised to help support Common Threads’ programs. Top of our design list was the incredibly intricate disposable plates used for the Guinness/Oyster dish, and of course the invites and programs (hmmm, wonder who did those?). Anyway, the whole thing is top shelf and a great event to bring any of your food-obsessed (or charity-obsessed) friends to.

Congrats to the Common Threads team for putting together a great event!
