Love's Garden Spring Party and Trunk Show

At the end of April my husband and I hosted a Spring party and a little trunk show to show off my Love's Garden Spring collection. It was wonderful and we had a great turn out! I didn't think I had any pics to share, but I just recently realized that Preston had taken a bunch of really nice pictures before the party started and I was so excited to be able to share them with you! If you couldn't make it to the party, here is a way for you to see it anyways! And if you are interested, many of these items are still available for sale in my shop. If there's something you want that you see here that's not in my shop, just contact me at LovesGarden_Etsy@hotmail.com and I might still have it for you!

Here is the food table, a whole spread of delicious goodies, and peach iced tea and lemonade of course!

There were vegan golden agave vanilla buttercream cupcakes...

A white bean dip that Preston created...



Veggies and homemade hummus...

Three kinds of crackers and chips to dip!

A variety of yummy vegan cheese spreads: Hickory smoked cheddar and regular cheddar, and a mexi-cheddar dip. We found them at Whole Foods, and now they also carry them at Vitamin Cottage, and they are actually really good. They are called "We Can't Say Its Cheese" and they are made from oats! They are not as "fatty" as raw nut cheeses, but are really delicious and great for dipping and spreading.

Beautiful spring garlands...I still have a couple of these and I'll be putting them up in the shop this week, but you can contact me if you'd like to reserve one while they last!

Sweet Teapot Aprons...



Here is one of the display tables...

Little wall hangings for decorating your home...

A one-of-a-kind bird's nest...

I created little kits to plant your own herbs for the kitchen... you get to choose and customize which herbs you want with your kit!

There were many lovely earrings to choose from, and the earring displays got a lot of attention as they always seem to..

Here is a little piece of art you can wear around your neck...

A display on our coffee table with lots of knitted goods and my spring earrings!

Sweet handknit baby booties..."Little Sprouts"

Bride and Goddess bracelets on sale...

Handknit baby washcloths...

A one-of-a-kind original watercolor painting...

Can you tell I love nests? :)

My newest line of earrings...

A sensual line of dead-sea bath salts, contact me at LovesGarden_Etsy@hotmail.com to find out more and to order yours @ $15 a jar

And here, my sweetie took a couple of really beautiful photos of my little vignettes all lit up for the party...

I want to sincerely thank everyone who was able to make it to our Spring Party and Love's Garden Trunk Show. I had a wonderful time and it was so exciting to share my goodies with you, and catch up. Thank you also for supporting handmade! And of course, thank you to my amazing husband Preston for these beautiful photos and for supporting me tirelessly in all of my passions.

For now, I've got lots of new ideas in the works for the Love's Garden Summer collection, my Soul Painting (a painting for process class) on Wednesday nights, veggie and herb gardens to be planted in our backyard, my work with children several days of the week, preparing to get some of my goods in some local shops, and maybe I'll get to squeeze in some days for doing henna this summer too!

I hope you are enjoying your day whatever you are up to, and maybe I'll see ya at my next trunk show!

Peace,

Abbey
