Queen Bee Round Up

Sometimes, there are no words for the beauty that is The Queen Bee Market.

It's hard to describe how lovely it is.

It has challenged me and made me grow in ways that scared me before.

It has given me confidence in my work and who I am.

It has allowed me to meet other, like-minded ladies, which is priceless.

The Queen Bee Market is important to me.

The ladies of the Queen Bee Market at important to me.

I am utterly thankful for their work and dedication.

On that note...here are some more fun pictures from the day.

From left to right: Rock A Bow, Lollipops, The Pleated Poppy, Little Penelope Lane

From L to R: Fairly Fabulous, Cinnamon Sticks, Creme De La Gems, Funky Vintage Lovely

There were so many vendors that were just knock-your-socks-off wonderful. Please visit The Queen Bee Market blog to see them all and shop around a little.

Made some new friends and met up with some old ones. Just lovely people!

From L to R: Hannah and Megan. My friend Tess came with her sister and her 3rd born, Penelope. Kristen, Megan, Sarah and me. Megan, Tracey and Kristen.

Of course there were gobs and gobs of shoppers, so eager to look, touch and experience the market. They were all so friendly and encouraging!

And because I hardly take anything seriously, Kristen and I had to get a funny face in. We just had to!

That's Kristen's booth behind us, isn't it darling?  I feel like Kristen is my partner in crime when it comes to handmade. We have separate shops and visions, but we always go to each other for advice or encouragement. We make sure to not compete with one another and we are eager to build the other up. I just love how we can co-exist in the same world without the competition getting in the way.

I hope you can make it to the next Queen Bee Market! You will definitely not regret it!

Insta Friday IS SO FUN!

Life. Through phone pictures.
Our week.

Saturday night I got to go see two of my very best friends preform in a dance recital. I didn't get a picture with my other friend Sara. She is an amazing dancer and teacher. Kate, the girl in the first picture on the left danced as well. They are both just beautiful inside and out and use their dance to worship our Lord. Makes me cry every time I see them.

The bottom picture is of Jessica and me.  We are hardly ever serious, doesn't matter that we're almost 28 and have kids. We love being silly.

We headed down to the beach and spent the afternoon. 
I gathered seashells and rocks for kins to play with.
She loved it, then decided to hit her eye with a rock, no joke. When she's tired, she will rub her pacifier in her eye, so maybe she was trying to do this, but with a rock. Now she has a bruise on her eye, poor baby!

New Queen Bee Market clutch from a Crate and Barrel dishtowel.
AND, my nail polish was really inspiring my fabric choices and making me feel pretty!

We couldn't help ourselves. We made another trip to the beach, with some sweet friends.
I got sunburned on my back, big time.

Boys need handmade love too.  FABRIC BUNTING!!!

Husband came home early on Wednesday, got a babysitter, AND took me out to dinner... yum yum.
So I put on my green shirt, and actually wore black eyeliner, I usually wear brown...but went crazy and wore black, holla!
