Hello beautiful friends!
I've been 'slaving away' making new jewelries, getting ready for Holiday shows, among other {{REALLY COOL}} things i'll blog about later.
In the mean time, i just wanted to C E L B R A T E that i finished my WHOLE to do list today!!! And now i get to RELAX some and go hang out with friends, until tomorrow when the CRAZINESS ensues again.
Thus, i had a few moments to take pictures of HOW freaking COOL my hair looks today!
Now...off to the post office to mail some orders! HOORAY!
Have a BEAUTIFUL day!
I hope you get a moment to enjoy the SMALL THINGS!
[like...cool pink hair days]
love and smiles,

Tea Party Blessings
It has been a very stressful week to be honest.
On Wednesday my friend Cynthia invited me over for a tea party. And what a tea party it was! It was such a blessing. So inspiring too! It helped me get into taking pictures again, which is something I've really missed! Alas, here are a few images to inspire you.
She went out and decorated her table so nicely, made her "famous" pasta salad and bought some really yummy rainbow colored cookies. It was a lovely tea party. We had these beautiful triangle shaped teas, which I'm trying to look up online and can't figure out the brand.
Thank you Cynthia! I'm quite excited for our Monday meeting. :)
I hope your all having a wonderful blessing filled week! In case you need your tea fill, here are some lovely items to strike your fancy.
Tea Today, Hot Chocolate Tomorrow.
On my trip, i went coffee house hopping. I drank many wonderful drinks, but when hopping, atmosphere is key. I found two coffee shops that win my vote. In Charlotte, there is one called The Smelly Cat in North Davidson we frequented quite a few times. They make a mean milkshake, and pretty good brownies. It has a cute interior, with a nice staff and some nice photographs on the walls. I never did get to taste my signature drink there, which actually makes me kind of sad.
Soy Mint Hot Chocolate, was my hardcore drink of choice in NC. [Actually, it's my drink of choice outside of Charlotte too]
I think my favorite over all was The Dripolator in Black Mountain. It was cute and quaint. They had a comfortable environment and seating. The staff was friendly and helpful, art on the walls, a great menu selection and loads of customers inside to affirm my decision that i chose the right coffee shop in Black Mountain.
Day Off = Vacation
This past Holiday season i was working like a mad women. At least 50-60 hours a week, i would drive from job to job and felt like clasping every minute i had free. I saw no friends and did nothing else but work and try to calm down. This past Monday i had my 1st REAL full day off, and boy did it feel like a vacation! Better then a vacation.
Monday was my perfect day. :)
It was really chilly, and i did try to roller blade, but only made it for 10 minutes. It was a gorgeous day though, and i was quite thankful for it.
I went over to my favorite place! Infusion Tea, it's the most serene place, and i got a TON of work done while there. They are a sweet tea shop, with brilliant food and even better service! They have THE BEST cookies [see below] and they are hands down, my favorite guilty pleasure.
My mom came up to see me a couple days prior and took me out for a swanky lunch. This is my leftovers. Aren't these the prettiest leftover's you've ever seen? Crab stuffed shrimp, three-cheese risotto, roasted asparagus, and a stuffed olive. The restaurant we went to was a cute little place called "Hot Olives" in Winter Park. I highly recommend it. It's quaint and the food is wonderful!
I came home from the tea house, and did more work, listened to Brian's podcast, and waited for Courtney to come over.
Courtney is one of those brilliant people you have to wait in line to finally hang out with. I would keep waiting, because she is a great person, a fun friend to hang out with, and shares my passion for going on walks. She is also a photo junkie, which helps bring out my creative side photographicly.
All in all, i had a most pleasent day, i can't wait to have another one!! :) Hello Monday!
