My first boutique show!

So, while I was working at DownEast helping a customer she happened to mention that she is running boutique show in a couple of months. I asked her if she was looking for anymore vendors and she said she actually was! I gave her my information and she was going to contact me with how to apply. A few weeks went by and I didn't hear anything. Was a little disappointed but had a lot of personal things going on so it probably wasn't a good time to be focusing on something like that anyway. About a week ago that same customer came in and remembering who I was she said that she had lost my info but was still looking for a couple of vendors to fill a couple of holes. I didn't really care where I was put just as long as I got in the show! So with 2 weeks to go me and my sister-in-law decided to get a booth together and jump on the boutique show train! Luckily I've been ordered by a doctor to stay home and take things easy so I just lay in bed all day and make jewelry. Kind of awesome, especially over the weekend where I had conference going in the background! (Oh, please don't worry about the cause of me being laid up, I am going to be just fine by Monday :)) Well, I want ALL of you to PLEASE come to the boutique next weekend! I don't know if I've ever made so much jewelry in such little time (don't worry, still good quality) and I want you all to come see how hard me and Jen have worked! It will be held in the Provo Library Ballroom April 13-14. You can visit the website for the Bella Bazaar to get more information. This has also opened up a window for a future boutique in October at Thanksgiving Point! YAY!! I hope this goes well and maybe I'll even get my etsy shop back up and rocking! Please message me if you have any questions! Here are some photos to tease your senses....

Country-chic?

This is a slightly new spin on my blog but I've been thinking a lot about where I want my children to grow up and what I want their childhood to be like so I'm changing my design style once again in my life. Am I just following trends? I'm not sure, butI think working at Pottery Barn has changed that a lot and I've also fallen in love with the Anthropologie style of living.

Apparently, this is the house that Taylor Swift bought for herself in LA. It is so far beyond what I thought a celebrity would get in 90210. It has a very country, easy going feeling to it that I've always shied away from because I see it as "old" and old=ugly in my head for some reason. BUT, I love this place! The combination of country-chic is very comfortable and casual and it's something that I think I could embrace if its done right. It has such a great vibe about it that I would love to raise my kids in. I think I would just need like 5 acres to go with it. There are some accents/accessories that I don't like, as in the red Persian rugs and odd old world accessories (which is not a bad thing, I just don't like some of them showcased in this home). But, I think a fresh spin on it with less red and some brighter textiles would be amazing! Please look at the website (I was having issues copying pictures - which I probably shouldn't be doing ;) and tell me, what are your thoughts?
