road trip: deception pass, whidbey island & seattle

our little family needed a road trip so we packed our bags and headed south. first stop was deception pass for coastal hiking and beaches. a drive across whidbey island where i spent my summers growing up was like a trip down memory lane. we took our time: thrift store stops for stocking up on teacups and doilies and quaint little coffee shop breaks. a ferry ride took us to seattle where we stayed with family. the next day was spent exploring the city: shopping, coffee shop pit stops, and roaming the market full of flowers, fresh produce, art, souvenirs and sampling delicious local peach slices around every corner. it was a much needed short and sweet little trip.

thank you chelsea and crystal for you hospitality and tour guiding!

the bridesmaids dresses

earlier this summer i was asked to sew all the bridesmaids dresses for a wedding. my friends mitch and amada got hitched last week and it was a beautiful wedding on a beautiful day. i was fortunate enough to get to spend about 10 minutes with the bridesmaids to get some pics of the dresses, here they are!

and of course i had to make a little dress for aya to wear to their wedding as well. this one is made out of all recycled materials. most of the laces used on it are antique or vintage and i drew the butterflies and screen printed them.

thanks charlene, clarissa, and kassy for looking gorgeous in the dresses and thank you so much amanda for having me contribute to your very special day! congratulations mitch and amanda, hope you're livin it up in maui!!
