Grace Bonney Book Signing
In 2004, Grace Bonney founded Design*Sponge, a daily website dedicated to the creative community. Since then, it has grown to reach 2 million readers per day, and Grace’s influence has only has soared to new heights, including, in 2011, the publication of her first bestselling book, Design*Sponge at Home. Now, Grace debuts her widely-anticipated second book, In the Company of Women, which profiles over 100 entrepreneurial women of all ages, races, backgrounds, and industries. In these pages, these inspirational and creative women offer the keys to success, highlight the importance of everyday rituals, and dispense advice for the next generation of women entrepreneurs and makers. Rounding out the book are hundreds of lush, original photographs of these women movers and shakers in their work spaces.
On Thursday, October 13, at 7 PM, Grace Bonney will speak in conversation with Rebecca Wood, Cheryl Day, LaRonda Sutton and Ashley Woodson Bailey at SCADshow.

Ashley Woodson Bailey. After a harrowing car accident left this high-profile florist bed-ridden with a broken back and shattered spirit, Ashley Woodson Bailey channeled her love of flowers into a healing, and wildly successful new venture as a floral photographer. Since 2012, Ashley’s eponymous brand has expanded from her signature dark “florography” fine art prints, to include wallpaper, limited edition clothing collaborations, home goods and a soon-to-be-launched fabric collection. As an artist, Ashley is defined fully and completely by the flower. Her inaugural collection “Dark” is inspired by the transition of the flower from a lovely blossom to a dying stem and the deep desire to preserve the metamorphosis as a frozen moment in time. Her works are biographical, deeply intimate and one-of-a-kind, and she is on a constant quest to capture these beloved creatures in order to share their beauty with the world. She creates her “forever flowers” in Marietta, Georgia where she resides with her husband, Brad, children Byrdie, Woodson and Lane, and her furry sidekicks, George and Rose.
