Im super happy to say that my monday went as planned... I went to yoga with my friend and then she came back to my house and helped me out with work. So so nice. I never ever regret going to my yoga class. Not just for the yoga, but also for my instructor. I have a one in a million instructor here in the hill country. He is just a soul brother that puts my heart aline each time I see him. He just has a way with words and such a pure spirit that its infectious. I always leave feeling calmer, stronger, more equipped to face this world. And I feel loved. Now Im asking myself why I dont carve out time for myself to go feel this feeling each week??? Because Im crazy. But I plan to change that.
And my day with my bestie was wonderful. We went to tons of places and completely exhausted ourselves, ha ha. But it was so nice just being with her. I was smiling from ear to ear when I got in her car just for the fact that I was going to be next to her for the next several hours. Loved it. And today, I get to see my little baby nephew!!! Im so excited to finally hold him. We have not even seen him since he came home from the hospital, which is wayyyy too long! Im so ready to really meet him. And I have a feeling it may propel this baby fever Ive been feeling times a million. Well see...
A few days ago I received this gorgeous necklace in the mail c/o Vickie of Bohemiantown. When she contacted me this month for a sponsor spot, I went to check out her site and immediately felt at home with her. Her style reminds me so much of myself. And we even both make necklaces from vintage trim! I love the way she designed hers with the beaded chain in copper. Everything in her shop is gorgeous, earthy and bohemian. And even more exciting, she lives in Austin, so we are practically neighbors!

Vicki's packaging was adorable too. It came wrapped in the material in the background with a little piece of embroidered trim wrapped around it. And I was stoked to see her necklace attached to a piece of cork. It was just a beautiful earthy display for her necklace. I love seeing how other designers package their work.
PEACE,
Laura

Oh I like that necklace a lot. i have a pair of boots just like that, but I wore them so often because they are my absolute favorite...to the point where the whole sole is basically gone! I thrifted them and just overdid it. Seeing them on you is making me want to look up a cobbler!
