| bravo to NUTMEG magazine |


There was a wonderful write-up of sd+p in the latest addition of Nutmeg magazine....Connecticut's go to quarterly publication for anyone who classifies themselves as a foodie and loves anything regional. The covers are art-worthy in and of themselves and we would like to send out a huge thank you to Deb Wells for her support of the local bridal community.
