Hello Hello!!
Where has Jenny been?? Well, I will tell you...covered in glitter, with dyed pink hands! And nope...not from my hair. (dying 200 pink feathers!) We are getting in all those last minute tasks and errands for Artistic Affaire next week!!! Ahhhh!! I cannot believe it! In less than a week, we will be in California surrounded by some of the most fabulous, fun, and frilly gals in blogland. Moulin Rouge is all we are thinking and breathing, and at this point...wearing! Feathers on every surface. Even the pups can be seen running around with pink feathers sticking to their lil wet noses. We are just so so excited! My sis is coming out too. She isn't enrolled in the event, more just to chill and help a bit. Though...there is an over the top, all day bus trip planned that she will be a part of. The itinerary is bonkers! Seriously! like really? This many amazing things all in one day!? Don't worry, I promise tons of pics and a nice lengthy recap!
So what did you think of our fab gals in our first PMOT spotlight? How about Fancy Lady Gourmet's adorable cookies?! And Amanda's super cool art?! (check out her blog...she has a little Spring gift for you blog readers! 10% off anything in her shop!) And Hollie Wood's ummm...LIFE! (speaking of...check out this fabulous blog post about her) I really am so psyched about this year! I have so many fun ideas twirling around in my mind. Expect things to reeeally get fun once we get back from California!
Want to meet some more gals that are going to make this year THEIR year?
Introducing:
Keira Morgan of Handsome And Lace (Neck Tie Reformatory)
Here is a gal that is certainly not at a loss for BIG ideas and goals.
A very enthusiastic designer from Toronto, Canada.
Raised by a very eccentric mother who was always very particular about her style, from the materials, to obsessively picking off any little loose threads that she could find. She inspired a need for perfection and colour in Keira's designs and old Hollywood inspired the vintage feel to them.
Where from?: London, ON, although I don't like to admit it.
What do you create/do?: I create wearable art for the ladies and the fella's/ I run a neck tie reformatory in Toronto. I plan to bring bowties and neck ties to a whole new level!
When did you start?: 2007. I sold my first batch of hairbands to a co-worker and started really fixating on neck ties that year. I was obsessed with tuxedos and 50's gangster styles and it just grew from there.
