Precious moments

Just a few photos I've taken lately on my phone, the one above was taken at a Greenhouse while plant shopping with my mother-in-law, these colors were so beautiful, I love the violet burst in the middle!

My husband set up a super cute pallet table for our galvanized buckets to go on and strung some lights, so cute! 

Of course I've been spending time at my parents at their pool, it's so relaxing and refreshing!

Been spending a bunch of time at Jonny's Java working on design inspirations with my sis-in-law

Found a delightful tree friend on a walk!

What have you been up to this summer?

The Back 40 Folk Festival

Here's a few looks that I sold at the Back 40 Folk Festival a number of weekends ago!  I'm loving these bright colors and vintage inspired vibes!

Here's me at my booth

Here's my dad playing along with the bands in the background :)

The Back 40 Folk Festival is a really cool festival featuring-you guessed it-folk music!  They feature local artists who create original songs and also do a workshop!

This was my 4th year participating in the Artisan Village and it was great!  The weather was awesome until right at the end when it hailed while we were cleaning up!  It was an adventure to say the least!

Etsy Update!

Apparel Design

So I graduated from Apparel Design at the end of May and I was super excited to get my certificate in the mail!!!  I've been taking this class for 2 years and have had a wonderful time learning and strengthening my skills-I'm sad it's over but also very excited by what I have achieved!!! 

Now to make wonderful things....

Summertime

I made this cute dress a few months ago, I didn't get a picture of the back but it has a cute half moon cutout at the top, just a little something extra!

We've been making David's Tea iced teas!!! SO DELICIOUS!

I've been doing a whole lotta swimming at my parents, it's pretty cool actually ;)

Avengers

Way back when we went to see the Avengers and we made a day of it!

We visited the most beautiful store-of course Anthropologie! 

We tried a new cocktail place Albert St. Cocktail Co.  The moscow mule was delicious!

Did some shopping...

And finally headed to the movie!  It was super fun!  Did you see Avengers Age of Ultron? What did you think?

Pure Anada Collaboration: Behind the Scenes

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with my favorite makeup company, Pure Anada.  

They have the cutest shop in Morden, MB and I own a ton of their stuff so I was super excited when they contacted me!

Pure Anada is a natural makeup company made right near my hometown.  I currently am loving their tinted moisturizer, cream blush and spring eye shadow colors!

I was contacted to provide clothing for a photoshoot that they were doing in partnership with Causemetics, an organization who is dedicated to helping women who have cancer.

Our beautiful model Melanie got all dolled up care of Pure Anada, donned two of my pieces and was a knockout!

Here's a few photos I snapped with my iPhone at the shoot

Purchase this top here

I'll share more once the final photos come available, but I just wanted to share a peek at the day.

Melanie is wearing custom jewelry from Marni Luhu who also partnered with us for the day!
