Super Natural Every Day Book Signing!
May 1, 2011 
Last night Chris and I, along with our two good friends, had the pleasure of attending a book signing for Heidi Swanson's new book, Super Natural Every Day, at the Spare Room.
Spare Room, managed by Lara Ferroni and Clare Barboza, is the most charming food photography and event studio I have ever been to. The first thing I noticed about the space was the light. It oozed into the room through large windows at one end and then bounced around the white walls, exposed brick, and antique wood flooring...the room simply glowed!
Events hosted by people who's work I admire make me altogether nervous, so while I was enjoying the space and the treats, I quickly become anxious about talking to Heidi, Lara, or anyone for that matter! It's extremely out of character for me to feel nervous about talking to people, but thankfully both Heidi and Lara were sweet and gracious about meeting us. I'm hoping I can get into a food photography and styling workshop at Spare Room this summer! How great would that be?
Earlier this week I thought it would be fun to make bookmarks to take to the signing - seemed fitting, no?
Of course the bookmark I wanted to give Heidi got wedged into her book and she had to yank it out! Isn't that just the way things go sometimes? I walked away feeling a bit foolish, but then we just laughed about it.
In the end, the event was spectacular, the people were lovely, and I was thrilled to have to opportunity to visit a space like Spare Room! Now it's time to choose which recipe from the book to make first...

I'm so jealous of your night! I bought the book for my brother for his birthday, and one of these days I'm going to pick up a copy for myself. Love the bookmarks!
It was really fun - too bad you live in Minneapolis and not Seattle or we could go to things like that together!!! Tonight I'm making the ravioli salad and white beans + cabbage. I'll let you know how it goes :)
