Harvest Swap, A Hip Housewarming Party, and a Fair Fashion Event!

September 7, 2018 By Kari Leave a Comment

Hidden gems, cool local product, and unique events happening in the Edmonton area! Scroll down to see what’s on your Local Love List this week!

Local Love list-1

Hip Housewarming Party

  • I’m hosting a dream housewarming party to celebrate the opening of Edgemont Ravines’ beautiful new show homes. It’s going to be an amazing party with great gifts and an insane giveaway, not to mention the best in local design, fashion, food, drinks, and entertainment! (More details in next week’s Local Love List.) The party goes September 22 between noon and 5 p.m. Location and more details here.

Local Love List-2

Harvest Swap

  • Overflowing with apples? Take your grown goods to Earth’s General Store’s fifth annual Harvest Swap. It goes down in the parking lot of the store (9605 82 Ave) this Sunday, Sept. 9 from 11- 4 PM. You can drop off your garden haul and snag goods from other people’s piles. More details here. 

Local Love List-3

Halloween Art Class

  • We popped into our favourite art studio, Creation Space, this week and, as always, had such a fun time! Parents, if you haven’t taken your kids here yet – get on it! They have open studio, workshops, and registered classes. Check out something really cool they have planned to celebrate Halloween! All the details here. 

 

 

ArtWalk

  • Here’s something fun to do with friends this weekend: Strathearn Art Walk is on tomorrow (Saturday, September 8) from 12-7! You’ll discover a variety of handmade items from over 300 gifted artists, including Wren Works, who made this beautiful macrame wall hanging for our outdoor oasis.

Local Love List-4

Cute Kids Tees

  • I’m dying over these graphic tees! They’re made in Victoria, B.C BUT sold in Edmonton at Red Ribbon Boutique.  Shop here.

 

Local Love List-5

Dreamlife Lotto

  • They had me at the lavender-coloured couch. I enjoyed a lovely evening this past Wednesday, touring the Dreamlife Lottery Grand Prize Dream Home with a few of my other blogger friends. This year’s 6,000+ sq.ft, $2.1M dream home comes fully-furnished with a beautifully-landscaped dream yard! Proceeds from Dreamlife Lottery help provide vital care to Albertans at the Misericordia and Grey Nuns Hospitals. Pop in for a visit at 5530 Chegwin Point, Edmonton, AB (southside, in the Chapelle neighbourhood). Find all details on tickets and early bird prizes here!

Local Love List-6

Kid Portraits

  • If you’re looking for beautiful portraits of your little ones, look no further! I tear up every time I look at these photos hanging on our wall. Absolute magic captured by Little Icons. They travel all over the U.S and Canada for mini sessions, so check their feed to see where they’ll be next! It’s well worth the investment at $180 for a 15-minute session. You get three high res downloadable images and one 12×18 print.

Local Love List-6

Hang With Our First Lady

  • You, Edmonton’s first lady, and cocktails. There’s a big, swanky fundraiser happening next Monday, September 10 from 6-8:30 PM in the lobby of the Epcor Tower (10423 101 St.) Sarah Chan will share her experience as a piano teacher and social advocate, while performing on the only Canadian Bösendorfer Oscar Peterson Signature Edition Piano. Proceeds from the evening go to the United Way, Women United. To get tickets and more information, click here. 

Local Love List-7

Family Movie Nights

  • New at KariSkelton.com: Quality Family Time: Introducing Movie Nights. What we watched, what we wore, and what we ate. Also, five ideas on how to sneak in quality family time when you have no time! Read here.

Local Love List-8

Fair Fashion Event

  • An event focused on loving fashion without cost to people or the planet. Get tickets for Elevate: A Pursuit of Fair Fashion, happening next Thursday, September 13 at the ATB Branch for Arts and Culture (9804 Jasper Ave). Hear from a panel of powerhouses including Janis Galloway of Publicity Room, and Esther Duval of Duval Canada.

Local Love List-9

It's truly amazing what our bodies can do. 💛

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️
The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll be honest - the first trimester wasn’t great. There were moments of joy (like this one) but it was filled with anxiety, scary moments, and a few hurdles. 

🤰I’m playing catchup on some pregnancy blog posts but I wanted to make sure this was up, especially for those who have been following our journey. 

👉 Head on over to KariSkelton.com for ‘Pregnancy Q&A: The First Trimester’ where I get into all of it. Link is in my bio.

❔️Please ask any questions. That’s the whole reason why I share about this. I believe sharing our experiences and personal stories helps all of us feel less alone and often validates what we’re going through. 

(If you can believe it, I took a video of the exact moment I found out but it disappeared from my files. Poof! Gone.💨 Of all the videos to lose…. 🙈 But very happy to have this photo).
