new buttons!

Another full day! I finished some little shoes just in time to put my NEW BUTTONS on them and get them into the shop for the weekend. I love vintage buttons however my stock was running low and I was having a hard time parting with some of the real gems. I designed these new buttons and had a fabulous guy in Portland Oregon make them for me.

We had a wonderful morning with our friends at our new favorite coffee shop where I ordered up a specially beautiful drink in order to take photos for my site.

Next we went and acted like tourists at Northstar, drooled over fancy, beautiful shoes, and ate a delish lunch.

Then... I got down to business sewing. I made 21 pairs of hand warmers (not pictured) and a sweet little-person sweater. All will be in the shop tomorrow!

...And of course a post on the blog wouldn't be complete without a super sweet pic of my micro man. He is such a big boy these days, sitting in highchairs!

10 10 10 350

Yesterday we took part in a 350 event. It was a 10-10-10 Global work party. If you don't know about 350.org I highly suggest you check it out. It was new to me!

It was so much fun and reminded me of living in Sonoma County. It took place at Shaw Family Farm, which is a local farm here in Truckee. They grow just about every veggie possible, raise chickens, bees, pigs, ducks, and have 4 amazing work dogs.

Orland wore his Carhart overalls and flannel shirt (the true sign of a good farmer), we were surrounded by positive thinking local Truckee-ites, and we all had a delicious potluck at the end of our day. It was a great reminder of the power of each individual in a community. Many hands make light work.

It was also a wonderful Fall day in the mountains. I love fall!
