Handmade KC,The Market Beautiful, & Ethnic Festival Vlog

-

This past weekend I had a very busy day of hand crafted goods, vintage finds and ethnic eats. First trip was to the pop up shop of handmade goods from local Kansas City artist. You know me and how much I love a good bargain, so this clearance sale was right up my alley. Most of these artists we see at a lot of the great events we go to so getting to buy their items at discount was a high light. You got to also have the opportunity to see their creative process that they go through making each piece. I bought a very cute little plant pot with a shuttlecock charm hanging from it by Kate Schroeder Ceramics, a great deal grab bag over at Lost and Found by one of our favorite artists, Tara, and last a few hand towels that I've been eyeing at Tammy Smith Design. I also got to find two other amazing artists, Milkweed Baby with the cutest baby shoes, and Bloo Brush Collective with their beautiful handmade ceramics. 

Next was The Market Beautiful ,which was Vintage White Market last year, had so many great finds and made goods. I really wanted my home to look like some of the booths that they had with amazing plants, great vintage items, and great decor. Jana and Vanessa are the owners of The Market Beautiful and do such a great job going State by State putting on this great big event and having so many great small local businesses come together. I got to see beautiful gem jewelry at Lily Dawson Designs, come alive with plant holders at Jive Finds, and bought some really cute pins at Anne Franklin Designs who also had some pretty great jewelry.

 After all that shopping you can really work up an appetite for the Ethnic Enrichment Festival. I've been going almost every year since I was a little kid and always feel like it's a must. When I got to the Festival, it felt like a 100 degrees outside and at that point I had a very long day already, so I didn't stay as long as I would have liked to like in past years. I was happy with the food I got to eat but really wish I would have taken some home with me since still a week after I'm still craving their Crab Rangoon and musubi. So as always check out the video to watch my day and be sure to like and subscribe for more!

Self Health September | Spin Class

So these next five days seemed harder than I thought they would be. I started having less time to make a full breakfast so I started the smoothie era. Tried cooking my own spaghetti, which didn't turn out the way I would have hoped. Saw a little moment of me editing and putting up the first of Self Health September videos and blog post. Still working out at home either in the morning or after work, which I was working towards doing different workouts.

Solar Eclipse Path of Totality 2017

Last Monday I got to witness being in the Path of Totality Solar Eclipse. This might be the only one I will see in my lifetime and some people go their whole life never seeing one, so I felt very lucky and wanted to share it with the rest of the world. Not the best shot of it but it is my experience. I sadly had to work this day, so I was not able to go to one of the many Solar Eclipse Events happening around town. Being in Kansas City made it a little bit harder to see it in its full beauty. So amazed by the amount of people who stop everything they were doing to watch this Eclipse.

It's that time again. Kansas City Fashion Week is back for their 12th season and in full swing with Spring/Summer 2018 shows. We kicked it off with the Garden Party held at Van Noy Mansion . This is where they had the kick off party last year as some of you may know by following us. The beautiful mansion had a flower wall in their entryway for the perfect photo backdrop. The photos were taken by Chuck Mason , a portrait photographer based in the Kansas City Metro area. They had a massive tent set on the lawn by the small pond to the side of the mansion, all wonderfully decorated by Events by Reagan and flowers from Hyvee . The DJ from Icon Event Group , was setting the party vibes.
