PIECES OF LIFE

March 19, 2014 Laura Mazurek

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

THREADS // MOONCHILD

outfit details: moon tank - gypsy warrior // pants - novella royale // jacket c/o sheinside // necklace - roots and feathers // boots + sunglasses - lulu*s.com

So, to say I'm obsessed with these Novella Royale pants is an understatement. The color, the print, the fit, every inch of them is perfect. And I'm pretty much in love with this whole outfit. I made this moon necklace for my shop a few weeks ago and have worn it so much since I'm just going to keep this one and make another for the shop. I love it way too much. Its not in the shop yet, but I'm going to try to get it in there by tonite (fingers crossed). My days have been so full lately it seems like little things like that have been hard to get accomplished... I'm almost completely caught up with my custom orders, minus the ones I am waiting on supplies for! Which is exciting and means I can work on some new things for the shop soon. I also have a few newer pieces just waiting to be photographed and listed... so keep your eyes on the shop for those!

I'm actually kind of loving the shed being where it is. I was afraid b/c it is smack in the middle of where I normally take my photos outside, but it was our only option for placement where we live... But it is now providing me with some new backgrounds! So yeah, you might be seeing this shed crop up in more and more photos. We are excited to get our garage back to being James studio for Skyline Fever. Right now it is so full of stuff from moving things over from my parents house this past year that he couldn't even work back there. He has a tiny card table set up in our back room right now. So this will be a very wonderful transition for him once its done.

I'm about to post a new giveaway, so stay tuned. Also, the new energy report from KV is up on the 'astrology' link. Enjoy!

HEARTBREAKER BANQUET

March 16, 2014 Laura Mazurek

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.

The Minnetonka Girls at Heartbreaker Banquet

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.
