"Stylin"

At Roundtop the cutest girls come through.

Mostly young, hip, and totally envy worthy.

Lisa will tell you that I've been known to admire something that someone is wearing and before they get out of my booth I'm on my ipad buying it. truth.

So. The booth next to me has the most adorable girl who sells THE BEST Moroccan rugs and stuff you've ever seen.  LUSTLIST.

Her name is Victoria and she dresses so hip.

And I love a hip dresser...

So one day she had on these adorable jeans that I had never seen.

hum.....

well, I think she got them from Shopbop or something like that (I've never heard of it)

Then....another girl came in later and had a pair very similar.

She was 6 ft. tall and looked like the bomb in them.

So I asked her where she got them because even though I'm only 5'5", I had my ipad ready....

She said that she did them herself.

She saw the ones she wanted for oh 275.00?

NOT IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD I PAY THAT FOR A PAIR OF JEANS.

Anyway it's a new trend to "shred" the bottoms of your jeans.

Atleast in LA and Texas.

So.

Got home, got the stuff and went to town shredding the bottoms of a pair of my jeans.

Here is the DIY on shredded jeans.

First, you need a good pair of scissors. Which I didn't have, much to my mother's dismay, God rest her soul.

I did however have a good pair of pinking shears. Score.

So, I got a pair of my Levis.

Here we go.

First I cut off the hem

Then I realized I didn't cut the 1/8" strips narrow enough (or long enough)

you really need to cut about 6" up

so cut more

I was pretty satisfied at this point

However, I had to run out and get clorox (who doesn't have clorox in their house?)

me.

I also got a steel brush and scraped the shreads after pouring clorox on them

and there ya have it.  Probably not the best boots to wear with them but oh well.

It's the look!

Have a great day y'all!!!

Things I've Learned From Roundtop!

Last night Lisa and I rolled on in from Roundtop!!!

At promptly 6 p.m.

We left at 7 a.m.

And she had two more hours to drive, poor thing...

I drove a mere 45 minutes until my hands froze up out of anxiety and she froze up from the anxiety of watching me drive.

It was a 14 foot van.

So.....here is what I've learned from Roundtop and being there in a small RV for 16 days with someone else.

1) Driving from Birmingham to Roundtop is a really long drive if you take 10 potty breaks.....

2) Roundtop is (at least this time was) is the hottest place on the face of the earth.

3) Roundtop is also the most fun place on the earth.

4) If you don't pace yourself with the partying, your toast.

5) To work with someone 24/7 (and in close quarters) you MUST have the same mentality business wise.  Not many artists could do this...luckily the only thing Lisa and I disagree on is politics....So we kind of stay away from that subject ;) It is also great if you laugh a lot (which we constantly do)

6) After seeing videos of myself dancing, I realize I have zero talent in that area.......

7) You're really lucky if you are where we were.  We are all like family at The Arbors and we all hung out together every night! Campfires, grilling out, talking and showing pictures of our kids back home.

It was just a warm feeling.

8) If the show is slow, it really does no good complaining about it, because it's not your fault.

9) If the show is busy and you're not selling, then it's time to re-assess your merchandise/art

There is no way in hell I would do this if I wasn't successful at it.

10) repeat customers are the bomb.

11) The customers are SO incredibly nice who come there.  It is an amazing feeling to not only hear the comments about your art, but then to sell something is just awe inspiring and so validating about what you do.

12) every year we learn something different...like next time we are crating our art and shipping it out.

13) you can not have one comment on a piece of art and then on one day everyone will want the same piece.

14) if you sell a piece of art, everyone suddenly wants it.

15) Girls trips rock...why? because they are pros at talking their friends in to buying something :)

16) next year I think I'll bring 500 mini paintings.  I sold out of the over 100 that I brought.

17) next year I am going to purchase a telescope because I have never seen stars like I have seen at Roundtop.

18) If you stay in an RV, bring your own tent and chairs

and lots of beer

19) I was happy to get home to my bed AND my bathroom last night

20) Do, it....everyone should take a trip out to Roundtop for this show.  Especially girl's trips.

The most fun you will ever have!!!!

Stay tuned for my end of the season sale off!!!!

Have a terrific day y'all!!!
