ISLAND Book Launch Party // Recap

 Last Saturday, Shannon and I organized a book launch party at Knotty by Nature to celebrate ISLAND with our friends and family. It was a great turn out and we all had so much fun meeting new friends, showing off the samples, and enjoying some of the amazing food put together by my amazing friends Rebecca and Arika (thank you both for such an amazing spread!).

 { Obligatory Shoe Shot - we take these often }

 { Patricia and Julie - thank you both for coming! }

 { Becca and Marita}

 Kylee (our model) and Nick (our photographer) ~ this is a classic Nick face. They both wore polka dots just for me! Aren't they the best!

Grace arrived wearing a Renfrew hat, an Arbutus cowl, and a Georgia cardigan. She apologized for being all Janed out, I told her that in light of the occasion, it was totally acceptable and actually encouraged. 

 { Cate walked around knitting her legwarmers - she actually finished them later at the pub! }

 { My Family - Auntie Laurie, Uncle Peter, Me, my sister Emma, Kylee, my brother Nick, my brother in law Liam, and my Dad Jerry }

 { Melissa, Liisa, and Rebecca }

THANK YOU so much to everyone who made it out for the party and making it a huge success! I hope fun was had by all!
