PIECES OF LIFE

I am in love with soft turquoise and silver together right now...

Can't get enough of my Danmala goodies...

Still quite in love with our bedroom makeover and newly thrifted quilt...

Ive been needing a dry erase board forever, but dare I admit I would not get one b/c they were all white... until I found this beauty at Target. 

This girl has been loving the spring weather and car rides...

My sweet soul sister Robin sent me this darling watercolor recently...

Lately my business has been working on custom after custom... this little beauty is one of them...

Beautiful packaging from Gaia Conceptions... can't wait to share what is inside in outfit post!

I got to celebrate this sweet girls birthday at the bowling alley!  Fun times...

Another beautiful Texas Sky...

HEARTBREAKER BANQUET

This week is one that I won't forget.  James and I were so honored to be invited by Minnetonka to attend the Heartbreaker Banquet, a private festival at Willie Nelson's ranch.  The moment I read the email invite my heart burst open with excitement and disbelief!  I'm soooo happy that James had already taken off work b/c we were planning to attend The Renegade Fair in austin, but were a bit unsure if we really wanted to go this year, so our plans became wide open for this immediately.  I knew it would come and go so fast, and be a distant memory, so I soaked in as much as I could throughout the day.

The ranch was so beautiful, built like an old western town.  All of the sponsors of the event had their booths inside the old buildings, and were all giving away free stuff.  Everything was free except the food cart venders.  I got to drink free homeade moonshine all day from Midnight Moon, a company that handmakes their moonshine with fresh fruit... my favorite was the blueberry basil one... mmmmm... 

James and I felt so honored b/c we were considered VIP since we were invited guests of one of the sponsors, and we got to hang out in the back area with all the bands and people putting it on.  I was hoping to see Willie walking around back there, but that didn't happen...  Of course, we didn't know anyone, so we just hung out by ourselves, but it was still way cool to be able to do that, and to watch all the bands from the porch of the old saloon.

It was so nice to meet the gals from Minnetonka in person... they are wayyyy sweet!  We were hoping to get together and have drinks with them once their work was done, but by that time Willie was on stage and of course that took priority for everyone.  Ive seen him live several times, but it was soooo cool to see him play in his own home environment.  Such a different experience.  Such an honor.  I didn't get any great photos of him playing b/c all I had was my phone... You weren't allowed to bring a real camera unless you were press. 

Another fun thing that happened was an impromtu photoshoot for Minnetonka!  All of a sudden they came up to me and asked if they could take some photos of me around the ranch.  I was super excited and also I was soooooo nervous b/c there were so many people around.  Im not used to taking my photos in front of anyone!  But I got my brave on and just went for it.  They should be on the Minnetonka blog sometime, eeek!  They also shot their upcoming lookbook their with Natalie and Dylana Suarez, I can't wait to see it.  I'm kicking myself for not introducing myself to them now.  They were a few feet in front of us backstage and I couldn't work up my silly nerves to talk to them.  The girls from Minnetonka told me we were going to have drinks later that night with them and the Suarez girls, so I thought Id still have a chance to meet them, but then of course the time and night got away from us all.  It was still nice to see them in person, they are just as beautiful! 

It was such a great night, one I will never forget. 

PIECES OF HOME // LIFE LATELY

My boy brought me home some pretties flowers... Flowers always make me happy!

It got cold enough to have a few more fires in the fireplace...

James made quite a few french press coffees... soo good.  And isn't his bedhead the cutest?

I traded my friend Marissa for this amazing wall hanging.  It feels right at home in my nest...

We got my parents shed moved over to our house... Things are becoming final.

Ive been re-reading my north nodes, and reading James... Always so fascinating.

Delilah's long lost lover found her... now we have two longhorns skulls!  (a sweet gift from our neighbor)

All of these stones were gifted to me within 24 hours!!! Hard to believe...

I have found Violet snuggled in bed so many times this week.... she is just so damn cute!

Always enjoying snuggles from this little girl...

These are a few of the happenings in between all of my custom orders, hours in the studio, hours editing photos for lookbooks and hemming pants and preparing for a festival tomorrow!  Its been a very good week, along with a few emotional ups and downs, naturally.  I'm so looking forward tomorrow and I am just PRAYING my moontime does not come tomorrow morning and knock me down... which I think is what is going to happen.  But I have my fingers crossed!!!

Anyone going to the Heartbreaker Banquet tomorrow??????

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

I simply love capturing things that bring me joy in a photo.  And can you believe how those Novella Royale bells compliment the blanket I recently thrifted???  Amazing.
