So thankful...

During this busy time of year, I barely have time to breathe.  I have so much to do...

my head is SPINNING.  It is so difficult to slow down and take time for myself.  I have a hard time making room in my schedule even for eating, sleeping, or breathing.   

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and honestly, I really don't have time for this holiday.  However,  I will stop and make the time to remember why I am doing what I do.

I have so many reasons to be thankful  - tomorrow and EVERY day.

I love this crazy, stressful, wacked-out, tangled, inspiring, unpredictable, topsy-turvy,  interesting, magnificent life of mine.

Here are just a few elements of my life, I am so grateful for...

MY DUDES...

MY LOVE...

MY MOMMEE...

MY FRIENDS...

MY BUSINESS...

MY PUP AND MY KITTYHEAD...

MY STUDIO...

COFFEE...

MUSIC...

AND RAINBOWS, OF COURSE...

These are just to name a few.

My life is good.

Happy Thanksgiving.

You know it's going to be a good day when...

...you see five rainbows before 9 a.m.!!

Did you see the INCREDIBLE sky, this morning? 

Beautiful!!  

So inspiring.

Speaking of inspiring, make some time on Saturday to come out to

ART BY CRAFT

I am not a vendor, this time.  Wish I would have applied, but I was too busy.

But I plan on heading to the Museum of Contemporary Art to support my fellow artisans.

You should, too!

Have a lovely week!

Mimi's Monday Delights... on Tuesday

I think I will change the  name of this post from "Mimi's Monday Delights" to "Mimi's Monday Delights on Tuesday."  Very fitting, don't you agree?

The Denver Gift Show at the Merchandise Mart was a HUGE success!!  Fern and Sprout can now be found in SEVEN new stores!!!!  I couldn't be more excited!!  See the sidebar for the new additions!  

I wouldn't have any of this bizzzzzzzzzz, if it wasn't for my good friend, 

FAWN!

That's her in the background. :-)  I had to sneak a photo because she hates posing for pics.

I am sooooooo grateful!  Thank you so much for having me in your showroom!

Here's some shots of my set-up at the show... 

I got to work in the showroom with the lovely, Lyndsey!

She looks so fantastic in F and S!

I had a great time and met so many AMAZING people and I am EXHAUSTED!!

Today, I had some much-needed downtime.  Check out the new wool-felt colors I picked up at Fancy Tiger.  Yummy!

 

Now, for some delights...

Since they were ordering shoeclips left and right, at the show, I got excited about seeing some lovely shoes to put them on.  Try to picture some F and S shoeclips on these bad boys...

AND to top it all off...I have another rainbow for you!

Have a colorful evening!
