WOW No. 1: It's General Conference. I love being uplifted & inspired...it was truly amazing. I feel so filled up & ready to be my best me. love that. I love the powerful Spirit that I feel when I listen to the speakers & feel the power in their words.

I love this particular photo above from the Saturday's Conference...for more reasons than one.

Wednesday WOW!>>>>Dear Lizzie

There are so many things that just make me say:
WOW.

I want to share my Wednesday Wow with you on this last day o' September:
Local goodness: Dear Lizzie Boutique & Bistro.

(all photos: Dear Lizzie Website. by Studio 111)

You just walk into this boutique & you go crazy with inspiration. It's the kind of place I could be in for hours & still miss something because I've been busy feasting on the eye candy....there's just so much inspiration ooozing!!
Laura Jarman, the owner, has an a*mazing sense of style & it reflects in every nook & cranny in the boutique & bistro. From the scrumptious color of the walls>>> to the mouth-watering candy displays>>>> to the gorgeous clothing she carries>>>to the vintage re-purposed décor>>> to the sassy jewelry that makes you feel like singing. Truly...it's an experience you must try! It is one of my favorite local inspiration trips I take during my creativity exercises!
The bistro is delicious & displayed soooo creatively! Last week Laura did a spot on NBC Salt Lake affiliate: Studio 5. Check this out!

Like I said...isn't Laura amazing??? (p.s. someone else will be on Studio 5 this Friday morning....do NOT miss it! *wink*...don't kill me, sweets..I'm just so excited to see you!)

I am also incredibly excited for this week's Knitting 101 class at the Bistro by THE talented Kelly McCaleb! Liz, Jefra & I are going to get our knit on...right there in the Boutique/Bistro! (Kelly is also one of our fab Spark teachers!)
