Christmas in February

Yesterday, I spent a lovely morning with my dear friend, Jenna.

We've both been so busy, we haven't had time to exchange our Christmas gifts.

She made me the most beautiful gift which I will share with you very soon.

We have a tradition - Every year, we go to the Market in Larimer Square for breakfast.  Then we take in the shops.

It was a beeeeaaaautiful day outside!

What a fun morning, Slug! It was so lovely to hang out with you and your cute little baby bump...

Over the weekend, we attended a 

2012 Oscar Pajama Party 

with some of our closest friends...

Our classy hosts, Mark and George hosted quite the soiree...

Notice - George Clooney was there, too. ;)

Here's Jef looking splendid in his new H & M pjs!

 Kimmy is looking stunning in her light grey sweatshirt! :)

Mister Christmas was so dapper in his Lucky T and newsboy hat...

But, I think Mark won the award for best dressed in his pj pants, vest, and bow tie.  So handsome!

We shared some bubbly and lots of yummy treats.

What a delightfully FaNcY Ocsar night!!!

So... I must address my lack of blogposts lately.

As you know, life has been a little rough over the last year.  I have been in a bit of a "FUNK" and I always said I would not use this blog as a platform to complain or feel sorry for myself.

The GOOD NEWS is - I'm out of this little funk and I'm ready to go.  There are lots of EXCITING things on the horizon.

 Travel!

A new business venture!

The Sugar Plum Bazaar!

New babies - for 2 of my BFF's!

BASEBALL season!

Spring!

I have lots to look forward to and LOTS to be thankful for!

Thank you for sticking with me. Luuuuuuuhvz to you all!

A new FAV...

As I was out and about on South Broadway, delivering posters and postcards for the...

which is happening THIS SUNDAY...

I dropped into what has become my new favorite store on South Broadway, and quite possibly ALL of Denver... 

IRONWOOD

Walking in, I immediately felt transported to one of my favorite cities - San Francisco.

 Succulents, pots, animal skulls, fossils, air plants, jasmine, herbs, furniture, jewelry, architectural pieces...I could go on and on. 

 This is Aly - one of the owners.  Thanks for the fossil, Aly!

South Broadway just became a little fresher.

PUUUUUUHLEEEEEAZE, Check them out

at 14 South Broadway.

Don't forget about the Crafty Ballyhoo on Sunday...

This will be an amazing show with a collaboration between 

Fashion Denver, and the Denver Handmade Alliance.

Here's the amazing list of vendors who will be there...

Don't forget to head over to South Pearl to the...

LPB...

Stay tuned for that vendor list, tomorrow!

2 Big Deals!

 Last night we stepped out to support our HANDMADE friends!

First, we stopped by the GRAND OPENING of the new Fast Geek Boutique location, at 11th and Cherokee.  It's soooooo cute, and there are so many lovely goodies and fantastic pieces of art to choose from, all made by Tina and Vinny.  You must stop by.

 I still owe you pictures from our fashion show, together.  They are coming soon - promise.

My friend, Anna, gettin' fresh with the LOVELY mannequin.

Then...we headed up to the Indie Wearable event at 1754 Humboldt.

Pearl Clothing, Jil Cappuccio, Darling Ruth, Vital, Becky's Buttons and Things, Swear Jar, and others.  We had a BLAST.

And we found the next BIG idea - from Jil Cappuccio...

...the HANDI SACK!!!

It starts as a small, zipped case (similar to a wallet,)

 and in just a few easy steps, it becomes...

 ...a HANDI SACK!!

AMAZING!!  Jil-you are a BADASS.  Seriously.

It feels so great to support other local handmade artisans.

You ALL ROCK!!!!

Check out INDIE WEARABLE running for ONE MORE DAY!
