I spent yesterday on a ladder.
On a ladder.
You have no idea what a big deal that is for me.
I don't like ladders, for the same reason I don't
like the idea of riding a horse.
It's not the ladder or the horse I don't like,
it's the idea of falling off of either
that I'm not crazy about.
I'm ridiculously clumsy and accident prone,
but I did it anyway.
I conquered a fear, and I did it because
I love the people who asked me to do so,
and they were so, so worth it.
I've been fortunate enough to be asked to help
in my own small way get my friend
Carol Hicks Bolton's new shop
all gussied up and glorious for this Saturday's
spectacular Magnolia Pearl fashion show
at Carol's divine new shop.
So why was I on the ladder?
I was filling hanging mason jars
with dried beans and then placing candles
inside....lots and lots and lots of candles!
It's going to look beyond stunning once it all comes together....
heck, it already looks mind-blowingly gorgeous,
and there is still much to be done.
I'll be headed back today to see what help I can offer,
and I can't wait to see what new talent I learn today!
To those who have asked, I will not be shooting photos
at this event...I'm strictly going as a guest.
But if you are extra patient, you will see this event
in print sometime soon, as a most wonderful group of
photographers, chiefly Amy Scarborough,
photographers, chiefly Amy Scarborough,
will be shooting this for a wonderful publication
to be released in the future.
I can't spill more now, 'tis not my story to tell.
But, oh how happy I am to be a part of it all!
And it's because of the likes of
and everyone else associated with this store,
this show, and this wonderful, joyous collection
of artists and muses.
Your passion for what you do makes my heart sing!
Your passion for what you do makes my heart sing!
The aforementioned group are not only the most talented folks
I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, they are
also the most genuinely kind and giving as well.
They not only make me want to be
a better artist via my photography,
a better artist via my photography,
but a better person as well.
Thank you my friends!
It's good to be me these days...
good friends, good times, endless inspiration.
I have no complaints,
only thanks for God's abundant blessings.
only thanks for God's abundant blessings.
I hope to see you this Saturday....TOMORROW!

Of course, dried beans and candles, we were all thinking that very same thing (not really of course). For all your help did they gift you with the NudeIn? Whats a NudeIn?

Don't forget to link up to my Linky Party "Cowgirl Up", Monday nights...
I'm absolutely loving the weathered signs on the brick wall. So much delightful patina in this shop.
Anne, it's hard to believe it's been a year since the fire. So much has happened this year. Wish I lived an hour closer to be able to attend Robin's party, and visit Carol's shop as often as you can. You lucky, lucky gal ! If you can't take pictures, then you'll have to give us some very imaginative words to describe it all the next day ! Take care. And blessings to your dad.
I am extremely jealous.I wish I could be there too.
Gosh, I love that photo of all the rusty keys!
What a unique looking shop, and your pictures transport me there. Beautiful work!
