“Never in our wildest dreams did we image what being a part of this amazing cook book would entail. Not only are we sharing these pages with some of the best women chefs in the business, but we are also carrying on a tradition of fine food that has been passed down in our family as well.
The beauty of the content, both rich in photos and stories, has rekindled in us not only a passion to cook in us, but also reminded the ones we hold dear that there is more to food than just how it tastes. Having the personal meaning of each of the recipes makes them feel like heirlooms passed down from generation to generation and we are the beneficiaries.
Being a part of CELEBRATE is an honor that we will hold dear for the rest of our lives both in our kitchens and in our hearts!” ~Shea and Debbie
A Gilded Life is the creative collaboration of Debbie Murray and Shea Fragoso. This mother-daughter design team creates the objects of their dreams daily in a loft space in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. With backgrounds in painting, architectural glass, clothing design, fine jewelry, and event planning, the world of mixed media was the perfect blend of what came before and what comes next.
Debbie and Shea are honored to have been featured in many of Stampington’s publications, as well as the book Where Women Create - Celebrations. They host a monthly subscription club, The Gilded Girls Stash Society, and they are busy planning their next art retreat, to be held in Pasadena, California November 8-11, 2012. Their first product line of home décor and jewelry pieces will launch with Demdaco in January of 2012, and they are busy working on their first book.
With a schedule so blissfully hectic, they cannot help but feel that the path has led them to exactly where they were meant to be. Living A Gilded Life.
Love this! Mother and daughter teams rock!
