Goodness we are almost there! I have only 15 more to be ready for Brookings Summer Arts this weekend and Fargo Downtown Street Fair next week, July 15-th-17th.   It has been the a whirlwind this last couple of weeks but we survived.

I want to thank you- all my fans- again because you are what keep us going.  I think of how much people enjoy our products and look forward to seeing what’s new and I know that’s all of you who continually drive us to be better and bigger. 

I took a much needed break this evening and made spaghetti and then went for a walk on our farm.  Boy do I love my life.  We have the prettiest farm that my husband’s family runs and the weather this evening was just so beautiful, God really delivered a masterpiece.  So Gus , Ivy and I made it to the swing set and played for almost an hour. I was really conscious about staying present with the two of them while we played. I didn’t think about work or getting things done once they were down for the night, I just watched and soaked in all of them and the night air. I smelled and kissed Ivy’s head right below me in the snuggly, I listened to Gus’ giggles as he pretended to be a super hero flying on the swing and I touched the grass beneath my bare toes. All the while thinking, my God, my God you are amazing, THANK YOU.   This is my life, this moment- this precious moment, be here right now I reminded myself– it was amazing. 

So here we go, Brookings  Arts is going to be fun and exciting.  I can’t wait to see how the grand debut of the Ivy Toes goes and the new styles and fabric are bought up.  Hope to see you all soon!  Now back to finishing up
