SOWA and more...

SOWA (The South End Open Market to you) was great! Sorry, no pics at all, but you didn't really want to see me sweat buckets did you? I'm not even joking. At the end of the day I couldn't figure out what this grit-like substance on my face was until I splashed off and tasted the salt. It was that hot. And did I mention humid? But it was still great, and I met lots of people and had tons of fun. My daughter made a cameo appearance, and luckily just that because she's a bit of a whirlwind, and hates for me to sell "her" dresses. Too funny.

The more part is that I have a new line of BIG GIRL SKIRTS! They are made from Amy Butler's Nigella fabric, mainly in the wood fern and passion vine prints. They are fun, flirty, and oh so comfortable. Yet you still look great either going to work or going out in the evening. I have even made myself a couple, and am basically wearing them everyday in the heat. I promise to give you some sneak peeks in the next few days. In my lapsed weight watcher form, I refuse to have a pic of myself, but hopefully one of my thin friends will oblige soon. They will be listed in my etsy shop soon.

I've also been working on some new fall outfits, and I can't wait to show them off. OK, that's enough writing without illustrative pictures.

Coming to you from Minneapolis,
