Our local amazing Asian Market had their annual Hawaiian Festival last weekend. We go every year- saturday and sunday so we can get our shave ice fix. And listen to Hawaiian music and sit and wish we were actually in Hawaii and not in some parking lot in Oregon.
Monica, who I call Mo also spent some time living in Hawaii so I knew she would appreciate the shave ice. This one was pineapple, passion orange, guava. Soooo gooood!
There was a booth with amazing vintage Hawaiian Muu Muus and shirts. The most awesome fabrics. These photos don't do the colors justice.
And we also found tropical flowers. I love tropical flowers. I love all flowers... They even had Plumeria leis and my husband bought me one and I wore it all day.
It started out looking like this but now looks like a rotten banana all black and brown with little peeks of yellow. I have it hanging on the wall next to my bed because for as unsightly it is it still smells like Heaven. The kids have decided that they don't actually need a tree house and want to put the money we would have spent on a treehouse into a vacation to Hawaii. Sounds good to me! We already have a fort in the bamboo patch in our yard so I vote for Hawaii too!
There have been some great things popping up in blogland made out of Party Dress. I am going to go right now and set up a flickr group and I would LOVE to see everything and anything you have made with it! The next collection went out to Blue Hill with all the tweaks so I think we are looking good and that one may be ready to go. As soon as I get the word I will show and tell here!
It's up! I put together a group for Party Dress show and tell! I would just absolutely love it if you have made something with Party Dress, if you could hop on over and add your photos to the group. That is the best part of designing a fabric collection- seeing people's creativity with it. If you have anything in your etsy shops made out of Party Dress, I would love to see them. I will put links here to help spread the word! Here is a link to the group:http://www.flickr.com/groups/partydressshowandtell/
