Collaborating Locals: Lisa Leonard

It is February, love is in the air, and Cupid is beginning his rounds...

We love sharing our lovelies for photo shoots, and Lisa Leonard Designs is a favorite local biz of ours. They borrowed a few bits of lace along with a pink embroidered tapestry for their Valentine's collection photo shoot...and made a romantic teepee! Check out their DIY post on how to make one for yourself, and also take a gander at their Valentine's collection to give to a loved one or treat yourself.

Remember, if you are a photographer or local biz, you can always contact us to rent props, etc for your photo shoots. Drop in or give us call!

We've been busy away from the blog, but don't worry, we're working hard at the shop getting ready for the big after party! We wanted to share more details with you about the "stars" that will be joining us at this said party.

Lisa Leonard! She creates the most amazing handmade personalized jewelry that can be worn with jeans or your little black dress! Lisa's hand made creations mostly include necklaces and bracelets, but you can also purchase other goodies like rings, keychains, bowls, (etc.!) and our current favorite--customizable pewter wands! Have you seen her blog?! If you haven't, check it out, you are in for a treat!

Our friend Amy will be there! This girl can sew (yes, she made that apron)! She sews from the heart and is a true upcycler. Amy takes fabrics from old clothes, sweaters, and re-creates the most amazing pieces. Our personal fave of hers is a cuff bracelet she's designed. It's a beauty. You'll have to come see it for yourself!

Lindsey from The Pleated Poppy will be gracing us with her presence! Lindsey is a girls girl for sure! She designs and creates color inspired accessories--hair adornments, bags, pins, necklaces, ipad cases (!!!), the list goes on! Our personal fave is her ruffled scarf! Take a peek at her goods here. Oh, and she has a beautiful blog as well!

Last but definitely not least, the Sally Loo's Wholesome Hut will be at the party to help fuel our bellies for a full day of shopping partying! If you don't know who Sally Loo is, we don't know if we can be your friend anymore. Just kidding! Sally Loo's is old news on this blog, as we are all fans and frequents of the most beloved café in town! Their acai bowls are to die for (go get one now if you haven't tried it! Seriously.) Healthy, local, organic coffee shop goods and drinks will be served from the hut. You don't want to miss out!!!

So there you have it, the rock stars of our party. Come support your local community! May 1st from 10 to 5 PM. We can't wait to see you!

XOXO,

The Ruby Rose Crew
