Cancer & Bicycles

More than a few of my close friends and very close family have passed from, or braved through cancer. I'd say that almost all of us love(d) someone who has had the deadly disease. My best friend, my sweet mother is participating in "Ride for Roswell". Please pray that she has the motivation and strength to finish the 30 mile ride, and if you feel so inclined, PLEASE donate towards her ride specifically! All proceeds benefit Roswell research and patients.

Plus, bike riding is just the best ever.

Straight from my mom:
Hi! I am participating in the "Ride for Roswell event" to raise money for research and treatment programs at Roswell. On June 26th, I plan to join others on a 30 mile bike ride along the Niagara River in support of this effort. If you are able, please consider donating. Every pledge matters and makes a difference. Roswell's vision is a world without cancer. As I ride, I remember loved ones who were victims of cancer, and rejoice with those who have survived.
Sincerely,
Betty

You can donate at her personal page here.

Also, I'm super excited to trade in my Schwinn Varsity (that I bought in NY like 8 years ago) for a fancy custom bicycle from Halcyon! There's my friend Wade with his pretty bike (he lives on a farm now). And some cute girl with a cute bike, I don't think I know her. Summertime on the East Side...

Charmed, I'm sure

Happy spring! I was just featured in a treasury on etsy. Currently, I'm up to 1100 views on those rosettes and 37 item favs!! Let's make it more. Or better yet.. buy them!



Josh helped me (and by help, I mean he did it) fix up my brakelines on my old schwinn. I'll be riding soon, like this weekend hopefully! Oh, and I just dropped off some cute new baskets and accessories at Halcyon. The charmers go right below the seat (or anywhere your heart desires) and are just $15. Contact me for custom colours. Fun!




Hmm, more fun things? I am working on some wedding invitations for a friend. They're vintage/ Niagara Falls themed. I'll share soon, but they're really fun so far! Also, Say Ooh will be going on tour with Crystal, Dabney, and Chelsey to the west coast. Hit up any of their shows in Cali/ Oregon/ Washington for some fluffy feaths! Press packs will be dropped off along the way, so if you run a boutique on that side of the country, contact me for one.

Goodness, how could I forget? I am part of a new vintage/ fashion/ indie market this weekend in Five Points, Nashville. Saturday ten til six in the yard at Fannies, next to Bongo Java. Stop by and say hello! I'll be trying to pickup a better tan, so let's hope the sun is out.

Bicycle weather

Spring is just around the corner!! And everyone wants to be outside. And... everyone wants to be riding bikes!! Oh, what's that? You don't have a bike?! Go check out the coolest new bike shop in Nashville. It's right at the corner of 12th ave south! They have great restored and pieced together bicycles. Also, lots of fun, bright, exciting parts to fix up the bike you have. Looking for accessories?

Well, they just started carrying my bicycle baskets! $25 each. Want something custom? Hit me up.
