Exactly to the day, a year ago I wrote my first blog post and so much has happened since then! I could never have survived this first year without the support of all my October Blue ladies. I salute you! Thank you for all the orders and taking a chance on me. (ABBA much?) I really get up and do a happy dance with every order that comes in! Promise, you can ask my kids!

In the pursuit of more treasures for my collection, I travelled to magical India. I found way more than just gorgeous textiles and garments. I was trapped in the devastating monsoon but I was blessed to be accompanied by women that inspired and motivated me to not give up on my October Blue dream. Their strength, courage, bravery and absolute dedication to living a meaningful life has forever changed mine. So ladies, hear me when I say we all have a mountain to climb so we might as well look good doing it, right!?

I am super excited to announce that in 2019 I will be adding some of my own designs to my collection. So keep an eye on my site for all the new goodies.

This December I will do my first market at Hartenbos from 12 December to 4 January 2019. If you’re in the area please pop in, I’d like to meet more of my tribe!

Enjoy the last bit of this year and stay strong ladies, support each other and please let’s use less plastic!

Enjoy the sunshine and shine on!
