weekend links / 05

What.? Was September by far the quickest month to pass this year? Im still waiting for that fall feeling to hit Southern Oregon, you know crunchy leaves, hot drinks, seeing your breath when you go for late night strolls.  I can't wait.

What I've been up to lately:

- The shop reopened! finally.
- Fawn & Flora sent off our Smash Ball sponsorship goodies
- This will be my last week in my studio before the big (small??) move
- Contributed a little fall diy guest post for Maggie

And little bits of life sprinkled in:

- My husband will be home for the entire month of october, this is the first time he has been home longer then 2 1/2 weeks since before last summer!
- I'm heading to Sydney, Australia for Xmas & New Years!! Well if I can get on the plane.
- I've been battling the thoughts of how I love doing something so much (all the businesses I have) and how hard it is to please everyone.  Its sad how other people have so much control that they can ruin what you love.  For you passionate shop owners & artists, do you get this too??

I'm hitting you up with some amazing links for your eyes to get all kinds of gitty over.

  3. Heather, get yourself on that plane. I went to Sydney in May, and seriously, you'll love it.

    It's going to be their summer, so enjoy the nice weather. The beaches are gorgeous. Manley is a great one to go to, with tons of nice shops on the way from the ferry to the beach.

    You'll definitely want to make your way to The Rocks (which is a little area in Sydney) where they have a market on Saturday and Sunday. Tons of vendors selling handmade items, yummy food vendors too.

    You can check out all of my Sydney posts there. Once you get past the fact that the plane ride is so insanely long, it's not that bad. I'm betting that being there for New Years would be incredible!
