There are always local art and crafts and the smell of coffee is intoxicating, recently they made crepes etc a permanent fixture.

Crepes ETC is run by Michelle and Alan Green and their crepes have been enjoyed at the farmers market for years. I had the great joy of trying a crepe and i have to tell you it was more than amazing. I ordered the pear crepe and it was stuffed with fresh tasting pears, whipped cream, almonds and drizzled in caramel. I literally melted with each bite. Try their crepes with a chai latte or a cup of locally brewed coffee.

GROW holiday party and coat drive review at 9:31 PM

---I almost didn't go out tonight when i felt the pulsing pain at the base of my head telling me i was about to get a migraine. but i took some aspirin , drank a little a little caffeine and with a gentle nudge from Mellisa ,who i met at the fashion show, i got dressed up and headed out. the holiday party was held at the borrowed earth emporium and as usual it was warm and inviting and smelled like lavender and coffee. there were quite a few people in attendance at the party and with a generous amount of food and a steady flow of cider and locally brewed beers everyone was feeling social and smiling big. to my great relief i spotted some other moms and introduced myself. They were super friendly and gave me some local mom tips. It was so nice to network with other moms and that alone was worth going.
---After a bit the GROW organizers called everyone over to make some announcements. Sheila Stone told us a bit about GROW and their efforts to bring together women business owners and potential business owners as well as other women interested in networking. It's a support group and a community and a way to help other women out with their goals be it organizing a charity event or opening a store.
---A few member of GROW spoke about their projects and one of them in particular stuck out in my mind. Rachael Blackman of foto graffiti http://www.photographybyrachael.com/ spoke about her project that was inspired by her grandmothers passing. Her idea is to go to nursing homes and do FREE photo shoots for senior citizens. She spoke about how elderly people in nursing homes often are not pampered, do not get individual attention and really deserve to be loved and shown appreciation more than anyone. Rachael's project is very inspiring and with some financial support will be a great contribution to the community. If you are interested in supporting Rachael's project or would like to be a part of her team you can contact her at photographybyrachael@comcast.net.
---After everyone spoke about their projects i went to mingle with some more people. Sheila Stone introduced me to the owner of urban chic who was opening her store that night for guests of the holiday party to come over and enjoy a 15% discount. I jumped at the opportunity to check out the inside since i have been eying it up to for days. Inside is nothing but the most beautiful vintage clothes ever. I instantly spotted a sparkly shift dress with pockets and had to have it but I had it on hold since i forgot my wallet, go figure. There are plenty of antique sofas and chairs to lounge on while you shop and beautiful decorations to admire. The owner showed me her backroom full of a most impressive collection of exquisite lamps. If you love vintage and you love getting a good deal then you simply MUST get over to urban chic.
---I have been so impressed with the way the Ogden community really comes together. Every event I've gone to since moving here has been a great experience. Everyone is friendly and introduces themselves to me and most of the time all the fun is for as good cause. Tonight id say it was a success and the overflowing boxes of coats and canned goods shows what a community can accomplish together. I can not wait until the next event and i encourage all of you to check out the calendar, take a chance and go try something new.

Fashion show benefit for make a wish review at 9:23 PM

Saturday night i finally pried my adorable, curly haired 3 year old off of my leg and managed to get out and go to the Fashion show at borrowed earth emporium. First off the decor in the emporium is so cozy i instantly felt at home . I grabbed a cup of coffee (finally! a cup of coffee comparable to Portland's best) and headed upstairs to the show. Slavica, one of the women who organized the show and who owns Slavy boutique, introduced herself as soon as she saw me. Slavica is a very friendly woman with great taste and shiny pants that i just envied. Anyone who knows me knows that i have a thing for shiny pants. Maybe i was a crow in a past life or maybe it stems from my deep seeded fear of not being reflective enough while biking. Either way, i LOVE shiny pants.

The show started with volunteers from make a wish foundation telling us all a little but about the history of the foundation and about Utah make a wish. They also told us about their own experiences with make a wish when their son, who had an immunodeficiency disease , was granted a wish to Disney land. Not a single dry eye in the house as they opened their hearts to us and told us their story. Unfortunately their son passed away but they decided to dedicate time to helping make a wish.

The local models, both adults and kids, pranced out in wears from Glam, VO, CLuce, Shulami, tookiloo, cherry blossoms and slavy strutting their stuff to a remix of fun music. I took lots of pictures but then my camera stopped working go figure. The clothes were amazing and i made quite a few mental notes of things i want to buy. i saw shiny pants, mohawk hats, slinky dresses, soft sweater dresses, great chunky accessories and my personal fave a fall colored floral dress with a brown leather obi belt. The children models were just too cute for words. donning tutus and fairy wings and sparkly shoes these little tots danced down the runway like seasoned pros. i can not wait to take my daughter to cherry blossoms to pick out a tutu.

After the show The Rectifiers, give or take some members, played some tunes and cracked some jokes. I sipped my coffee and could feel myself sinking into the couch. It was a great show and great display of community building and i commend Slavica and Melisa Mower for organizing this event. Make sure you all check out the great stores that participated in this event-
