This weekend was a lot of fun and totally exhausting at the same time. It was Swing Summit here in the lower mainland out in Abbotsford plus on Friday night the was a great band at Fat City in Langley. I taught the drop in on Friday night and then went on to help teach some of the aerial workshops out at the camp in Abby. My legs are so sore from essentially doing tons and tons of plyometric squats over this weekend demo'ing the various moves. I also had some of the things from my store available at the Saturday night dance which meant carrying lots of heavy clothes right after having been flipping the guys in the Saturday advanced aerials workshop that we did. Needless to say most of my body is aching and I am sooooo ready for bed! Here are some pics of Friday night and a couple from our last workshop which was on balancing and stacking people (not really an aerial one but it was a lot of fun!).
This is Bria and her band on Friday night.
A little food and refreshment afterward. I was the one driving that night :-(
This is one of the guys in the class getting the chance to do some of the balancing where a follow would normally be. It's a good thing for them to feel a bit of the nerves that we go through!
Swing Summit Weekend
Rockabilly Round-up
The monthly Rockabilly Round-up was on last night at the Fairview Pub and while only a couple of us went this time it was one of the best music nights so far. The first band was too loud and played all the same tempo songs, but they were still entertaining. It was really unfortunate that the second band was so amazing! I was too tired to really get my dancing in and couldn't stay awake for the second set. Still, it was a really fun night and it is always good to see everyone dressed up :-)
Plus, I have been playing with my camera phone and trying out some photos. I'm not good at all yet!
Just about everything is on sale!
I need to make room both in my closets and on my site for new products that I have coming in. Many things are up to 50% off right now. Please take a look and if you have been putting of getting something now is the time to do it!
Relaxing Sunday
I was out having coffee at JJ Bean on Main today. It was nice to relax for a bit after spending most of yesterday and this morning taking photos of my stock, going through them, uploading (and downloading) them to various computers and places online. Plus, I love the shoes! Who can resist polka dots? and red shoes to boot?
New Inventory!
I finally had the chance (both time wise and light wise) to take photos of the new items that I picked up over Christmas. My mum and I finally found some of the gloves that my grandmother had stashed away and we don't think these were the ones we had originally looked through earlier last year either. Hopefully they will show up soon. We also found another stash of vintage costume jewelery too. I have take the photos now but still need to catalogue and then put them up on the site. You can check out the photos on flickr for now.
