Imagination is more important than knowledge

As Albert Einstein prophesied, The Ideation Nation will be a place where “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”, for example....
There was once a famous celebrity hairdresser who got a frantic call from a woman needing her hair styled immediately for an important gala that evening. The hairdresser rushed to the woman’s home, asked for a ribbon, and proceeded to create his masterpiece using only a brush and the ribbon. When the woman’s hair was finished 30 minutes later, she was dazzled beyond belief. “How much do I owe you?” she asked. “$2,000,” he replied. She was stunned: “That’s outrageous. I’m not going to pay $2,000 for a ribbon.” He looked at her coolly, gave the ribbon a tug, and watched his masterpiece instantly unravel into a shaggy mop of unruly curls and locks. “That’s fine,” he said. “The ribbon is free.”
Hmmmmm makes you think now doesn't it ?  Ideas, we all have them - but how do we use them ? 
We get to use our ideas on a regular basis here at Creative Catering - that's because we have great clients that give us free reign in designing their events.  How much better can it get ? 
We have a bunch of upcoming events that our clients gave us an idea, and we expanded on that, and came up with some amazing things - that's just how we roll !
The upcoming Spa event we have -  with stations like the "Ying Yang Station", where we will be supplying shrimp shooters in our black appetizer tree, in the black and white vignette of the clients showroom.  We will also be showcasing on their reception desk our ying yang platters overflowing with sweet pea quacamole, hummus and pita chips.  Then there will be "The Zen Raising The Bar Station" which will consist of elevated tables for guests and behind those will be our action station of Sushi....there will be a "Revitalizing Station" with our twisted beef on asparagus spears and a horseradish aioli, and our chicken salad with grapes and pecans in mini bread bowls...of course there will be lots of other tantilizing food - but I can't let all the ideas out of the bag, now can I...you'll just have to wait to see the pictures when it's all said and done.
Then - we have a Wizard of Oz themed event coming up being held at the Tucson Zoo - needless to say, Ebay has been one of our favorite spots for shopping lately.  I can now say that we have an amazing collection of Wizard of Oz collectibles...we have in the works a rainbow, guests will have to walk over with a vignette of bluebirds (because we all know somewhere over the rainbow...bluebirds sing !), a tornado guests will have to walk through to arrive in the land of Oz, where Dorothy, The Scarecrow, the Tinman and of course the Cowordly Lion will have have center stage in their own buffet spread.  Guests will have to walk down the yellow brick road to arrive at the Emerald Palace to recieve the awards that will be handed out that night....and upon leaving, guests will be treated to the lollipop guilds candy buffet...Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY !!
There's lots more on our plates - but I'm saving those for next time around...
So - if you have an idea for an upcoming event, please contact us...we love sharing our imagaination...and...the ribbon is free.

We have been so busy this summer - it's been truly amazing !!  Usually the dog days of Summer in Tucson are s-l-o-w ...but this year, not so much.  We have truly been blessed with lots of loyal clients, and for that we're thankful !  We're excited that business is picking up with everything that's going on in the world, and of course we hope that this is a sign of things to come.  We are playing it forward with good thoughts, and sending them out to all of you too !
