blog love weekly v6.0

{blog}

First, on this edition of blog love weekly, I’d like to take you to see Chelsea of Tea Talk. She is a sweet little fashion blogger who is just as adorable in real life as she is on the computer screen. Chelsea always has the nicest outfit photo posts and I just can’t get enough. For someone like me who has no clue what they are doing when it comes to fashion it’s nice to see what someone else is doing. She also has some really great interviews and information on her glad you have to read through. I’m very glad I got to meet her. She did an amazing job helping put together the AZ Blogger Meet Up! Chelsea also just graduated from college today! So, Congratulations to the lovely lady of Tea Talk, great things are going to come from this girl, mark my words.

Next we take a trip over to City Bird’s Nest to meet the wonderful cb. She is a crafter and a biker and super sweet! I’m so thankful for the lovely comments she leaves on my blog, it really keeps me going. Her blog is full of her fun adventures in the world on and off her bike. It really inspires me to want to get on a bike and just ride! Well, maybe after the baby comes! She also has the nicest things in her Etsy shop. Rumor has it she is going to be adding a line of lovely necklaces! It’s so hard to resist as shopping spree when there are such wonderful online shops like the City Bird’s Nest.

Journey to Etsy: My First Art Event.

Well, tomorrow marks the beginning of my Journey to Etsy. As I mentioned a little while ago the lovely ladies of Butter Toast Boutique have kindly asked me to set up a table in front of their vintage shop during this year’s Phoenix Art Detour. I have been over excited and busy getting ready or the event. I made a bunch of new hair piece as well as a small amount of new jewelry. I’ve been scanning over some of my favorite crafters blogs to see if they had any insight for craft fair booths. I have been seriously inspired by several lovely ladies in the crafting world.

I love her metal board for magnets! I wish I knew where she got it from. Not that I have any magnets but it’s a cool idea!


Going Home to Roost
I discovered this site on a Google search and was completely drawn to this booths layout. The colors are amazing. I’m going for a spring theme so this really inspired me.


Peach Parlor
Jody is an amazing crafter and photographer. Her shop was one of the first I discovered on Etsy. I would kill for this picket fence set up for her wreaths! I wish I could have taken the time to make some custom wreaths for this event, so sad.


The City Birds Nest
Isn’t she a doll? I love the multiple layers and layout of her brightly colored table. It seems she had a lot of success at the craft fair she was attending in this photo. I hope I have just as much luck!


I really hope I remember to bring everything I need. I’ve been having nightmares that I forgot all my products or I didn’t wear pants, crazy things like that. It’s like getting ready for a speech in High School all over again. I thank God right now that I have worked in retail for so long. I really feel like it prepared me for an event like this. I never thought I’d be thankful for slinging lattes or booking appointments in a hair salon, but I think all my experience is really going to come in handy and makes me less nervous.

If you’re in the Phoenix area stop down at 6th Street tomorrow, Sunday March 20 and see me! I’ll be there with all the flowers hanging out in front of the gorgeous Butter Toast Boutique!

I can’t wait to fill you in on how everything goes! Keep your fingers crossed for me!!! ^_^
