New Place New Look!

well I decided that since I am going to London it was time to get a new look for my Blog so here it is, it took me a while to figure out but I am pleased with the results. Let me know what you think.

New Camera For London!

So for my birthday my parents decided to give me or rather help me out with purchasing a new camera. So after searching around for a while and scoping out the scene I finally found what I was looking for. I decided on the Canon Powershot S3 anyway this is the camera that will be bringing you the pictures of my wonderful adventures in London and other travels this fall.

Sew Useful

Etsy + Instructables : handmade meets how-to

Well I am going to enter the Sew Useful contest the prize is a singer sewing machine that is worth about $800 dollars so that would be great to have, anyway I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what I should do. I was thinking of doing some sort of handbag, a cute apron and a cute bib or something (you can have up to 3 entries) we will see I any of it actually materializes but anyway if you have any better ideas I would love to hear them if you do have a good Idea and some free time enter the contest there are three grand prizes and not many entries, and it is a great way to get your know-how out there.

Summer Jobs!

Well with London study abroad comming up in the fall, I decided that I need to make the most money possible to make my experience in London and Europe in general the best possible, so I went summer job hunting. The first job I landed was at Whimsy clothing boutique which sells great unique clothing pieces at a great price. After landing my job at Whimsy I decided to work at the fruit stands again to fill in the times when I was not working at Whimsy. On top of these two jobs I got a call yesterday from Nordstrom and they asked me to sell in the kidswear girls dept. for the half-yearly sale and the anniversary sale. So there it is three summer jobs should keep me quite busy this summer, Hopefully with the help of Whimsy, Nordies, Taggie's, Fruit and a little help from mom and pop I will be on off to London for a great time, and a great experiance!

Green House

Well as I settle in I am loving the basement it has so much potential, this is my latest project. It is alittle sparce right now so I am definatly going to have to keep adding to it. It will be interesting to find out what color my thumb is, but for now it is just fun to actually have something growing in the green house.

New Work Space

well now that I am back home I have settled in the basement and this is my new work space so now I have a place to be all crafty, yay!

Fun Ebay Purchases!

I got these vintage magazines off of Ebay, I havn't quite figured out what to do with them yet but I absolutely love them!

New York Trip: Appointments

New York was amazing, no suprise there, I went with the HFL Department at BYU (home and family living), we got to go to some really great places. One of our favorate appointments was at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House which is an event that benifits the Boys and Girls Club. Basically they take a very large town house and have famous designers come in and decorate a room and then they charge admission. While at the show our group got to meet with one of the designers in his room and hear about how the room came about, the designer we met was David Barett and his room was called "Cocktails in a Town House Potting Shed" it was a truly amazing space. Other Designers that participated included Victoria imperioli, James Rixner, Amy Lau, Nathan Eagan interiors, Eve Robinson etc. Other Places we went included Dulken &Derrick INC. which is a silk flower manufacturer they do the flowers for Vera Wang dresses and and also Ralph Lauren (pictured above). We went to a great costume shop that does many costumes for broadway plays including Wicked and Phantom of the Opera. We visited Nicole Miller and we had an appointment at the FIT clothing museum.

Etsy better than Ebay?

Maybe not but it is definately cuter. It is "The place to buy and sell things handmade" I came across the sight a couple of days ago and am already falling in love with it! It is a great place to find something truly unique.

Forever 21 open at the gateway!!!

So its finally here! I went and took a look around today and the store is great and they have tons of cute stuff!
