Crave SF Book Release
Last Thursday I had the privilege of attending the Crave SF book release party. Crave is an awesome book that showcases some of the best women owned business throughout cities like Chicago, Austin, Seattle, Vancouver, etc. I was SO excited to have been invited to participate in the Crave San Francisco Bay Area edition.
I grabbed this great Crave description off the Crave website: “Crave is the most unique and stylish guidebook for Bay Area living. It is a celebration of women entreprenesses that showcases some of the most creative, interesting, and gutsy proprietors throughout our city.” Don’t you kind of love the word “entrepreness?” Someone once referred to me as a “shop proprietress” which I also love. So many great new job titles for my next business card!
Name tag and Champaign in hand. Ready to mingle.
I’m still pinching myself for having the opportunity to be a part of this amazing book. It was so cool to see so many of my favorite business around town in the same book and meet some of the very cool women behind them. Thank you Crave for inviting LAMA and myself to participate! It’s such an honor. If you happen to catch this blog post today, be sure and become a LAMA fan on Facebook for your chance to win a free copy. I’ll be opening up a contest to Facebook Fans only this week!
LAMA’s Crave SF page. That’s me smiling. :)
Check out some of the Crave SF party pics below. I was so busy gabbing, drinking champaign and attacking the hors d’oeuvres all night that I forgot I had a camera with me. Thank goodness I was able to grab some photos from the Crave Facebook page. Thanks Crave!
Big stacks of Crave books. Glossy. Yellow. Pretty
Featured entrepreness name tags. Recognize any names or cool businesses?
Crave-ing cupcakes? I was!
A room full of awesome women. It was a great night!

Christine,
We were so excited to get you in the book and your photos came out great! I’d love to post some of these photos on Red Slice FB fan page, with photo credit to you of course if that is okay? They came out beautiful and I forgot my camera that night!
Here’s to all the gusty entrepreneses like yourself making it happen every day. This book was an honor to help put together. And love that you are giving away copies for your FB fan page promotion.
Cheers!

Hi Maria! So sorry I have yet to respond to your comment. I went out of town the day this was received and just returned yesterday. The photos were from the Crave FB page so be sure to give them the credit. ;) I was so happy to be a part of this. Thank you for everything!
