It's been scorching hot in St. Louis this past week, keeping the kids and I in the house most of the time. On Sunday, we got a break in the weather and were able to get out and enjoy the beautiful day. We went to a festival in Tower Grove Park in St Louis. My mom vends at several area festivals every summer.
 Here's her booth set-up with lots of new merchandise for her art


You can see more of my momma's fantasy and fairy art on her website or at her etsy shop

Since it was still a bit warm outside, I wore my nice, cool feed sack dress and matching red, straw hat. I adore this hat but haven't had a chance to wear it till now. I got lots of compliments and even had a few people stop to take my picture, which I always get a kick out of.

I also got to bust out my awesome carved fish shoes, which were a gift from Pj on our honeymoon in St. Augustine, Florida.

In other news, I am -totally- getting into the groove of being a mommy of two! The kids have regular nap schedules now so I've been able to sew and keep up on housework again. I hope to get back to blogging more this week!  Rhys has gained just over 3 pounds in 8 weeks, can you believe it? He's such a big boy!! Here he is with his daddy...

    I Love that dress, such a pretty color on you.
    It looks like your Mom made some pendants are they glass or plastic, either way if she has the mommy fairy I think I want one!

    Oh fantastic! Your mom's art is spectacular! I love fantasy art especially nature themed stuff! I would have bought a couple things from her stall had I been there!

    You look stunning! xxx

    Nel, my step dad presses all of her merchandise on a dye sublimation press, which gets -really- hot so they're probably glass. They're nice and heavy! If she doesn't have the one you want in her etsy shop, you can send her a convo and they'll make one especially for you! I can bring it over to you so you don't have to worry with shipping :)

    You are so pretty! I just love your outfit and I really hope that you might show us the hair do you are sporting under that fantastic hat. I always want to wear hats, but I never know what to do with my hair.
