About Christine

My name is Christine and I am the owner and creative voice of Mitchell & Company Designs and Events. I'd like to share with you a little bit of the story and journey which has brought me to this place of starting my own business.

As a child, I found great happiness in helping my mother with the many parties and family gatherings she hosted in our home. She was very creative and always lavishly decorated for the holidays, a practice I have carried on in my own life. I have many fond memories of working with her in the kitchen creating fancy entrees, hors d'oeuvres and desserts for her various occasions. Through her example of being "the hostess with the mostess" and her fashion sense, she planted in me the seeds of creativity, style and the delight of entertaining and decorating!

In adulthood, I found personal joy and satisfaction in decorating my own home. Decorating for Christmas and hosting holiday parties actually became something I was known for among my friends and family. I enjoyed decorating for other holidays and events throughout the year, as well. My interests later included gardening and floral design, which led me to taking floral design courses and later becoming a member of a wonderful and informative garden club. As I began to dream of starting my own business, putting into practice things I had learned and loved doing, I took advantage of classes at Middlesex Community College and received a certificate in "Meeting & Events Management". My goal now is to bring the practical and learned experiences of my life to my business and assist clients whenever they need help with planning, styling or executing the everyday or special events of their lives, to truly "bring joy and beauty to home and office".

My hope in starting this blog is to share ideas, thoughts, experiences and skills. In do so, I wish to inspire you, enliven you and brighten your day!
