We originally set out to create a website that highlights and celebrates interesting people and the spaces they create.   We got more than we bargained for in the best way possible.

 During the seven months of preparation to launch the site, what we found in the people we are profiling, was a willingness to share and an unguarded exchange of ideas. We were also surprised to discover a common thread of how these passionate individuals are following their true calling, many times abandoning their first career.

We would like to personally invite you to be a part of the  Balustrade & Bitters community.  With this in mind, please take advantage of the B&B Events Calendar.  If you are aware of an event or product launch pertaining to our subjects of interest,  simply click on "Submit an Event Listing".  Here you can tell us all about it and even upload an image.  Of course, what good would a website be without a comments feature?  Please register as soon as possible and join in on the fun! 

People who create something that didn't already exist, innovators in their particular field, inventors of themselves, these are the ones we look to for inspiration.  Our goal is to relay all of this passion to you, dear reader, with photographs, stories, interviews, and GUSTO!

Yours Truly,

B&B
