Mix-A-Lot

Eek!  I have fallen behind on blogging!  Here is my quick catch up...

Mike and I went to a lovely wedding here in Kelowna.  It was nice to get out on the town and have some grown up time!  A friend of mine loaned me 4 amazing dresses and a bunch of fabulous shoes to choose between.  It was so fun to play dress up with someone else's adorable stuff!

Can you tell we are having a lot of fun?  It was a great night.

Notice my fun jewellery?  I have a friend who sells Stella & Dot and she loaned me a bunch of fun stuff to wear.  It was smart on her part cause now I am hooked.  I want it all :)  I am having a party August 24 if you are interested, just email me!!

Enough about me, let's get to the kids!!

The girls begged me to do the Farmer's Market before our trip to Westport so they could make a little spending money.  We had our cutest set up yet if I do say so myself.  The girls are such fun company and they have created their own little company with lots of cute items for sale.

"Paisley" is their company name.  How cute is that!?!?  Maddie was so thrilled to finally get a chance to come to the Market with the big girls.  She was a great asset to their team.

I have much more to share; lots of photos from our trip to Westport, photos from our visit with Grandma Bev in Seattle, and a story about our scary experience alone on the side of a mountain highway. 

 I know, sounds exciting, right?  Stay tuned!!

Market Season

The blog has been completely neglected because I have been so busy with the Farmer's Market.  Last year we only braved the Market on Wednesdays when it was less busy and not quite so intense.  This year I have tried going on Saturday which has meant getting in line way before the sun rises.  Yikes!  I am not sure how many of those early mornings this night owl can handle:)

Above is a photo of sweet Mailee in front of our spot.

Items of note:
-those are the flags from Cait's party!
-this year I have "walls" to hang the bows on courtesy of Rhino Chiropractic:)
-the table is holding a new little experiment.  I made a bunch of felt masks for boys.  The girls made bean bags and wands and necklaces and keychains
-the masks flew off the table. (sold quickly,not blew away:)  I was surprised and pleased that they went over so well!
-the tent next to us was that of a magic palm reader...BOOO!

This is the first market we did this year.  The set up gets a little better everytime.  The flags really made a difference)

There's that palm reader again!   NOT a fan of being next to him!

  

I had lots of people asking what I was selling. {really?} I decided to make a few posters of some of my favourite pictures of kids with bows and flowers to eliminate the question.  It's fun when a kid sees their photo on the board!

The market has been a great opportunity for me to spend time with the two big girls.  They seem to enjoy themselves and they are thrilled to earn a bit of cash.  I just love being with them and being able to focus on the two of them.  They are growing into such big girls!
