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

🧑‍🎄 Save this Christmas inspo! We'll be 🧑‍🎄 Save this Christmas inspo! 

We'll be showing you what our Elf 
Candi🍭 does each day this year so you can share in the joy of the season! We would love to see what your elf is up to as well so be sure to tag us!❤️ 

We're also wondering if she may bring a new elf friend with her this year. 🤔 How cool would that be?! 

🍭Last year she decorated Wyatt's bedroom door with a whole bunch of cool stuff she brought from the North Pole including blown up candy canes, swirly mints, twinkle lights, and a few fun Christmas garland. What do you think?

This trend had me deep in the files for hours last This trend had me deep in the files for hours last night 😭😭 

Ask any questions in the comments ⤵️ I'm an open book on this one. Feel free to share with someone who may need it. I believe sharing our struggles and stories helps all of us feel less alone.

Ry and I had the talks that maybe this wouldn't happen for us. The biggest heartache in that was thinking Wyatt wouldn't have a sibling- something we wanted for him. ❤️

If you're unfamiliar with our story:

- In 2014 we had a miscarriage at 15 weeks.💔

- Found out I have an 'incompetent cervix' 🙄 and would need a cerclage for future pregnancies.

- Six months later we were pregnant with Wyatt! ❤️

- Wyatt was born in July 2015.

- A few years later we started trying for another babe.

- It turned out to be a 2.5 year journey. In 2021, we took the summer off trying (I turnes 40) and our first month back in the game - boom. 💃 Pregnant!

- Two significant scares in my pregnancy. 

- June 2022 - Noah arrives! 🤗🤗
