Wow! What a weekend!!

Today is my baby monkey's birthday! He is such a big boy! We celebrated at Funtastic Fun, today. The kids had a BLAST!! I had a blast!

There was a slight mishap after the "teacups" ride, and Jimmy tossed his cookies in this clown's mouth (the trashcan.)

Too much spinning. He's just like his mom. I do the same thing on those spinning rides. Poor little dude...but he bounced back right away, just in time for cupcakes, icecream, and prezzies!!
Here's some shots of the big bday celebration...












Another bit of excitement for the weekend: Fern and Sprout was in the NEWSPAPER on Saturday morning!
Yep - that's me in the upper righthand corner. My mom called me in the morning and asked for my autograph. :) I had no idea that was going to happen - it was a small article about the HANDMADE in COLORADO celebration at Talulah Jones. Here's what the article said in case you didn't get to see it. Yay!

What a great turnout we had for the event! Thanks to all of you who showed up to celebrate local artists. Here's some shots of the festivities...












These are my new shoes (not bad for $2.50 at the Goodwill, eh?) - complete with Fern and Sprout shoeclips...

Here are some more shoeclips...




Here's Robin, the owner and Randi, the manager. Aren't they cute?

I became acquainted with two of the other local artists. This is Kimberly, pictured here with her daughter, who is ironically also named Talulah. Her work is AMAZING!!!
Her skirt was so ADORABLE!!

Here's her wall of work...

This is Jaala, my pal for the evening. We have A LOT in common. She makes AMAZING jewelry from vintage pieces. We traded for a few items. I ended up with two pairs of earrings and a BEAUTIFUL necklace, (I will show you soon!)
Here's what she ended up with...
She looks stunning in her headband AND shoeclips!

After the reception, we went to an art show at Boxcar Gallery. What amazing work by my friend, Ashley Sands. Then, I had dinner with four of my favorite people on the planet. We checked out the new restaurant, Interstate. It was good, but kind of a knock off of one of our favs: Steuben's. It was so fun...


Saturday, we paid a visit to my favorite shop, Pink Attic Cat. Loooooooove that shop. Here's some of the newest goodies...
You might recognize these "guiltless goodies" by Fern and Sprout...















Lots to show you this week, like some more of my new "runway" collection!!! :) I've got a Fern and Sprout photo session comin' your way, and LOTS of other surprises! Happy Sunday eve! Love to you all!
