Indianapolis Holiday Market

I am at it again ladies and gents! I attended the 2014 Holiday Market that the Junior League of Indianapolis hosted ( for those of you  keeping count last year I attended in San Antonio due to the fact that I lived in San Antonio). I wanted to share with you some of my favorite vendors in hopes that you will support this wonderful cause in attending their show through November 13-16. 
Find out more about the Indy Junior League here!

Cozy Cabana
I have already chosen my Christmas present as pictured above(anchor bracelet!! but she also has monogram bracelets and other goodies too)- this is Cozy Cabana and she is as sweet as they get. Everything is customizable and created by her- she is adding new product too! She (and a few other vendors) have JLI Holiday Market specials for those who come and see her at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. 

The below three vendors were in the Mistletoe area where there were smaller tables being run by the JLI staff and are all local vendors. 
SEE Salt
How creative is colored sea salt? So many times I have a dish that is drab and can not find a way to "spice" it up without spicing it up, and colored sea salt will do the trick. It does not taste different but looks festive. The sweet lady selling the salt showed me the picture and story of her sweet grandma. Go meet her!! 

Art 2 the Extreme
I have seen some cool things done with crayons but this one was pretty neato- lego shaped crayons :) They also came in other shapes and sizes but these were my fave.

This was on the outer skirts of the Mistletoe area but stood out to me, sadly I did not grab a picture of the name of the group that made them but I love the quality of the leather and metal they combine to make inspirational bracelets



These two shirts basically define me :) So I knew I had to share them too!!!!

 Others that stood out to me:
Paul and Lydia: baby bags and rags, head bands and scarves in some elegant spin off fabrics. they shared with me that their cat fabric can be customized with your animals name on it :)

Pink Eyed Sissies: They use antique optical lenses and upcycle them into beautiful bracelets and necklace charms

 Creative Women of the World
Two Little Fish
Hearts for Africa
Were all three repping their mission by selling products made by and supporting women who may have been trapped or preventing being trapped in human trafficking. 

The booth that had the most crazy going on at all times was Lysse Leggings / 14 Districts ( I mean I had to walk around for a little while before I could wiggle my way in). They are running a major discount/deal for those of you who visit them at the Holiday Mart. 

 I absolutely loved Mod Straps (camera straps/bags and additional accessories) who are also running a bulk rate :) 

 Last but not least I will share my buy/ steal ;) 
 Wonderful Lake 33 is running extreme deals on their zipper/ phone accessible wristlet! I bought a green one and will be seen using it as my gym carrying case for keys, cards and of course phone.   

 Go to the SHOW!! Get some of these wonderful snags and help the JLI raise money for their amazing tutoring, mentoring and preschool partnerships!!!

 Live, Love, Shop!

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through ...

REVIEW: Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal

{necessary information} I received this book as a try-me from Tyndale Publishers and the opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher {transparency of blogger} I have worked for preschools and coaching facilities and as a babysitter for most of my life. Sometimes you have an extra coloring sheet laying around while the kids are babysitting ( and sometimes it was on purpose) so you have to sit down with the kids and use the best crayons or color pencils available to color the extra page. Okay, okay, I love to color. There is something therapeutic to coloring.  { review Gratitude} I love all things girly, so the fact that this book came with a flowery firm cover- I was giddy. Then you open up to devotion surrounded with black and white images crying to be colored- I was over the moon. After I read the devotional there is room to journal through my thoughts, taking coloring breaks. I highly reccomend this book for all ages and would b...

love is patient and kind

There is a point in your life when you have to accept that your plan for your family( brothers, sisters, moms and dads) and friends is not your own. I grew up in a family where if I had not accepted their changes, I would not have family and would have grown up sad and alone. I grew up in a family where they did not attend church, so they knew that I was not happy about their changes but I still loved them and prayed for them endlessly. I do not have to agree with people or be uplifted by someone to show them Gods love though loving them. God loves us even when we endlessly try to walk away by sinning. These people may not be doing what God wanted for them but it is not our place to throw it in their faces, once we tell them- we pray for them and keep loving them.
