Sheffield Student Postcard — Amanda Brown

If you’re always the one to plan where the gang will meet for dinner, if you love throwing together a weekend getaway, if the words “you’re in-charge” thrill you, you may want to consider a career in wedding and event planning.

That’s what Sheffield Graduate Amanda Brown did, and now she’s running her own business. And, she says, “I could not be happier!”

And Don’t Miss These Features:

• All that glitters is not always gold. Sometimes it’s just glass — Glittering Glass Jewelry — but what great variety andd complexity! Glass has served both functional and decorative uses, but when it’s used artistically you can see its true brilliance and range.
• The art of applying gold leaf to a surface has been popular in decorating throughout history. To add that sparkle of sophistication in your home, we’ll explore accessories that are gilded and églomisized.
• In these trying financial times, many people would do anything to bring in more money; we can’t promise you’ll get rich quick with Feng Shui, but it’s worth the investment to see if you can Attract Wealth and money by using the principles of Feng Shui.
• Beautiful and symbolic, peafowl and peacock feathers have entered into the wedding mainstream, and can be found on everything from custom invitations to accessories to the floral centerpieces. Brides love the rich color palette and the delicate, wispy strands of the feathers. Learn how you can use them to create a Peacock Wedding.
• If you want to imbue your life with a posh feeling of richness without laying out the cash necessary for a sapphire tiara or a pair of ruby earrings, try adding Jewel Tones to your decorating palette.
• The Green movement has brought recycling, re-using, and reducing waste into the 21st century with all kinds of great Green design products. The newest addition to the “Greening” of America is Radical Composting.
• In cobbled streets of the beach towns on the Brittany coast of France, one succumbs quickly to the siren call of moules frites. But as delectable as moules frites and galette are, they can’t sustain a hard-working tourist forever. And after several days of the same fare, you start casting your net for something different. Something like what you find at Restaurant L’Atelier, on Rue de la Herse in St. Malo. It’s our Room of the Month!
