So after winning a giveaway over at Janel's blog, I was challenged to pay it forward! I thought it would be cool to get a little something special to giveaway from Red Velvet Art while I was in Springfield. :) So the lucky winner will receive this cuuuuuute wooden underwear brooch! All you gotta do is check out the Red Velvet Art online store and come back here and leave a comment. I'll pick a winner this Friday afternoon.
Speaking of RVA... Elsie posted some rad photos of new stuff that's going to be in her update this week. :):) Including some super soft cashmere cuffs that I was able to make them. I'm in love with them.
they double as coffee cozies! (there's 2 buttons)

I get soooo happy when I can use my abilities to make cute things for people I SO greatly admire. Elsie's store is amazing, and I'm soooo thankful I could see it. She's a huge role model to me.
so, on a different note... nwa lost our luggage!! Talk about BUMMER! I feel kinda lost, lol. I don't have makeup, or clothes, or my arbonne, blowdryer, all the stuff I bought this weekend, nothing! I'm crossing my fingers it gets here before I leave for the weekend (again!! I'm going on a scrapbooking getaway!!)
I'll leave you with one of my newest addictions... bubble tea! I had the passionfruit shaken green tea at Tea Drops in KC, and it was fanTAStic. mmmmm (ignore the creepy colors of this photo, lol)
XOxo, holly
found a few things at RVA that would really spice up the new apartment...the tea towels you embroidered would be the perfect touch for my retro kitchen :)
ReplyDeletelooove rva! and can't wait for the update (just to drool this time - spent my budget already) so i hope at least one cuff is left! i'm in looooooooooooooove!
ReplyDeletescrap wknd?!? fun!
and i'd be lost without my arbonne too!
you are def one that i admire too! can't wait to meet you irl.... someday!
xo!
wow, i LOVE those cuffs! cute!
ReplyDeleteThe girls over at RVA are so talented, I've been following their blogs for a while now. My fave things from the store are the glasses and the underwear/bubbletea stickers. and all of Elsies girls, of course!
Though i've never actually seen bubble tea arround here, it sounds super-yum! drink 2,3 or 10 for me!
I know a lot of people probably would just leave a comment, and, I'm not gonna lie, I thought about it, but I looked anyway and I am surely glad I did! You may have just found a way for me to kill a decent chunk of my workday today!
ReplyDeleteTo that end, infinite x's and o's.
xoxo
