Adesso had so much fun last week at the CEC‘s Culinary Masterpieces event that was co-hosted by the CEC and Merryl Brown Events.  We were in good company at the event with some of Santa Barbara’s finest and most delicious local vendors: C’est Cheese, Jessica Foster Confections (her dark chocolate rosemary and white chocolate meyer lemon truffles were amazing!), San Marcos Farms Honey and Green Star Coffee.  Valerie of Eat-Drink-Garden with Valerie was there and made some delicious eats (lettuce soup, fig & cheese crostini, thinly sliced watermelon radishes & carrot cake cookie sandwiches—yum!).  We purchased some adorable reusable snack and sandwich bags for our kids from the Girl Sunday Designs table. They make great gifts.

Stewart+Brown, a sustainable fashion brand with an incredible aesthetic, also participated in the event with a fashion presentation.  Adesso’s designs were paired with looks from Stewart+Brown’s Fall collections (see photos of models below).

We had our Fall 2010, Zodiac Bracelet, Signature and, of course, Eco-Friendly Collections on display and for sale.

All in all, it was a great afternoon!
