Be You, Be Awesome.

I think everyone can appreciate a good quote.

By good I mean, anything that makes you say "yeah" and is usually accompanied by a nodding of the head. That's right, you know what I'm talking about.  Usually it sparks something in us we can relate to and most of the time, at least for me, it's motivational. I like to keep quotes I find on pinterest, in one spot here, to reference on days I need a little extra push.

This one caught my attention - so i decided to make a graphic using it.

Go on be you, be awesome!

Creative Crush: ALYSON FOX

I love living in a city filled with small business owners and creatives that encourage, inspire, and motivate one another - Austin and it's creatives are nothing short of amazing. I'm so grateful to be part of a creative group known as The Ruby - started by Chelsea of Go Forth, Ana of Grown-up Shoes, and Candice of Oh! FOX Vintage.

Last week you might have noticed, The Ruby put together a special evening event featuring Alyson Fox that was held at Kick Pleat.  Alyson is a multi-talented artist that is on my creative crush list and I'm sure yours as well.

That evening, we all gathered in the trendy Kick Pleat boutique (check out that fabulous chair and rug), chatted with local creatives, made a fun take-away piece of jewelry with geometric beads, and listened intently at Alyson's story.  Alyson blew me away with her warm nature, and honesty.  Her work and spirit are reflective of one another - she was such an inspiration.

She has most recently collaborated with West Elm and has a unique line of products out for this Fall. If you haven't checked it out - you definitely should. This pillow is my favorite.

You can also find her artwork on her site - the shapes, the colors... fantastic!

Have a lovely weekend friends! xo, e

WISE WORDS // 1

Doesn't everyone love a good quote or saying?  I definitely do - that's why you can find a board specifically dedicated to just this...wise words.  I feel like this saying was something an elderly man or little lady probably said off the cuff - you know, brilliant and catchy.  For Wednesday posts, I'll be creating original designs using words I find to be wise... just like this!  Have a wonderful Wednesday!
