Soul searcher: busy

It's been a busy week!

Lets see, well first off, I've been taking care of my mom, she had quite a tumble the other day! She tripped and tumbled and fell off of a curb outside of the grocery store. She banged up both of her knees and hurt her shoulder & ankle. She's doing better but keep her in your prayers please. 

I'm pretty excited. I just did a styling last Monday, with more stylings on the way. Just need to spread the word! I have another styling sometime this week with about four or five new clients soon. 

Got some negative feedback from someone for the way I style my clients... Gotta prove them wrong, I guess! Ha! 

Working on some new jewels. Will post on Instagram & etsy at some point. I'll let you know so you can view & buy.

My bro-in-law made points with me. I got to ride with him the other day and it was actually quite pleasant! He and I had a heart to heart about driving, God, boys & traveling. It was something else. 

This week I'll be going to the Hillsong united concert. Pretty darn excited too! And I can't wait to hear Oceans live & in person!

On Instagram, Facebook & twitter I will be posting more things about the foundation I'm connected with. Hopefully you'll be able to donate money towards the cause. It's to help sick kiddos in the hospital. You can read more about it: www.kidhistoryfoundation.com :) 

Went grocery shopping today with my friend, Holly. We split ways while we were in sprouts.  And I can tell you it takes ALOT longer to shop for food when I'm by myself! It's ridiculous! 

I'm also working on a about me/pricing sheet to send to a friend in Denver, CO. So we can work on getting a style workshop going! If you're interested in a style workshop in your city, please email me I'd love to help: maudecclothing@gmail.com 

Hmmm what else? 

Oh I just bought a white Panama hat! Its really cute! 

Let me know what's been going on in your week! I'd love to hear! Comment or email me! maudecclothing@gmail.com 

I know this was a mishmash of things, but thought you'd be interested in what I've been doing! More good things to come!

I hope you have one of the best weeks of your life with many more to come! Love y'all, Ryn

Fancy Find: Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day! And I want to make a special shout out to all that have served in the military! Thank you for ALL you do and ALL that you have done! And those that have gone on before us, thank you!!!! I greatly appreciate all of your hard work! You are in my thoughts & prayers! God bless y'all!

Here are only a few things things that I've been working on this past week: 

New orleans Saints & Dallas cowboy garb! (Since the father wants the baby to choose which team, I thought I'd make it easy for her...) p.s, the mother is a soldout saints fan & the father is a cowboys fan! I thought I'd compromise...

Onesie with a faux collar & sequined elbow patches.

Little leggings with hearts on the knees...

Lil' headband turbans

And this was all for my niece Emma Grace!

I've so enjoyed reading Lauryn's beautiful blog this month - lots of gorgeous ideas!
As I begin to write a brief Christmas comment, it comes to mind that my Christmas in Australia is quite different to that of the northern hemisphere.

I've always dreamt of a white Christmas, with sleigh bells, hot chocolate, snow and scarves. I've been blessed to have my dream come true twice in my life, firstly in Germany and then in Canada. The thing is, in my wintery Christmases, I found myself missing the hot summer. I missed the smell of sunscreen, and the fragrance of rain after a steamy afternoon. I missed eating Christmas fruits like mangos and peaches.

I remember being a little girl, and going to all the beautiful Christmas celebrations in a gorgeous Christmas dress lovingly made by my Grandmother. The dress would be sewn from Christmas printed fabric with sweet frills (not too many) and bells attached on red and green ribbons. I felt like a Christmas princess.

Speaking of my Grandmother and her beautifully crafted clothing always directs me to my love for clothing and the romance of fashion.
I truly believe that a dress is one of the most romantic items you'll ever own. Memories are created in dresses!

I remember the dress I was wearing when I had my first kiss - a vintage maxi dress with a cute print.
I remember the dress I wore to my first grown up new years eve party - a gorgeous chiffon floral with a 1920's cut my mother wore when she was a teenager.
I remember the dress I was wearing the night I met my husband - a 1960's inspired number with a favourite cardi (it was June in Queensland and cold).

These dresses will stay in my wardrobe as evidence of a beautiful life lived.
This Christmas, wear your favourite dress with the expectation to create a beautiful memory.

This photo was taken on my honeymoon - I call this dress my water colour dress, it was inspired by the 1920's cut my mother wore when she was a teenager.
