The One of a Kind Show

       

Yesterday I went to the One of a Kind Show. It is my third year going, and I can say it is by far the best year yet! Before I did a power walk through the show, I had a very yummy breakfast along with some blog friends courtesy of the delicious new eatery Woods Restaurant.  I wanted to share with you all some of my favourite finds. There were some really great vendors there, these are the ones that really stood out to me. I recommend going for a few hours- the show is on till December 8th, a perfect way to spend an afternoon while enjoying some treats while you are perusing all of the goodies!!!

Have a great weekend!

This weekend is Blogpodium. I can't believe this is the 3rd time I will be in attendance, I have been waiting months for this, it crept up so fast. Again, I am so excited to meet new faces(well, in person that is), make connections, and learn more about the design world. I am constantly being inspired by others creativity, and I am always trying to push myself to experience moments that will make me grow creatively and personally, and this weekend will definitely be one of those events!!  

On Friday, I am trilled beyond belief to meeting Sarah Richardson along with 9 other bloggers. It gives me chills of excitement, as well as pangs of nerves. What will I say, what will I where, what will she be like? No matter what it will be another interesting opportunity. I am at the stage now, where I want to really challenge and push myself to the next level. I know I am at the point now that I can handle it, I am excited to see what this fall season brings. 

Here are the two boards I submitted to the Pinterest #teawithsarahrichardson contest. I can't wait to tell you all about it. 

If you don't know Sarah, she is a Canadian gem who I have followed for years, she is so unbelievably talented, and has created a major brand for herself. She is savvy and has a sassy crew that make it fun to watch a project evolve with. Here is her site, her work speaks for itself. Classic with a twist, monochromatic, pattern mixing, texture + transforming mundane pieces into masterpieces, are some of her signatures. Enjoy!

Spotlight: Nikki Mills

One of the perks of being in the Wedding industry, is that I am constantly being exposed to vendors. I am always taking notes for when my "big day" comes along, do's/don'ts( it is amazing how many don'ts there are), but along the way we meet some great people, experience beautiful events! Blayre and I work with a lot of photographers. Occasionally one will really inspire me, and Nikki Mills is certainly one of those. I absolutely love the natural, organic approach she has throughout the wedding day, and I am crazy about her post work. The aesthetic is imaginative, dreamlike, but very fresh. She really has a very unique perspective, so much of what we see feels so over done, it is nice when someone is out of the box. Here are some samples of her work, hope to work with her again, she is such a talent!

I think I will try to continue this throughout the summer, I love recommending talented vendor! For more info here is Nikki's Website.
