Freelancing yourself

As the closing of my Boutique draws near, I have found myself fretting over my new unemployed status. The job market is bleak here, to say the least. On a positive note, I will have much more free time. In this free time, I have many plans unfolding. I am hoping my Etsy Shop will help support me whilst I am job-free. This will give me the ability to finish planning an amazing idea for ladies of the Pacific Northwest. Stay tuned, as I will be unveiling more soon!

Among other topics in the Metropolitan world, I got to shoot with my favorite photographic team again, Vorpal Images! This time we did a shoot for EfiaFair's darling spats and mittens! I wore my own blue dress, and Yellow 30s topper hat! I even brought along my favorite new umbrella. I think the shoot turned out kind of neat and almost "steampunk" esque. Here is the first shot I have gotten back so far:

Beautiful photo. Love the hat.

I am sure your Etsy shop will continue to bring in revinue while you search for a job. And even though I dont live in the PNW, I am excited to hear about your idea.

Thanks doll,

Doll, I especially love that gorgeous blue color!

I'm quite fond of all shades of blue myself. I find it so feminine, and of course, it's Lou's favorite color on me, teal blue, I mean!

What a lovely photo!

It's a pity about your shop closing down. I've only recently begun reading your blog. I wish I had stumbled upon it sooner, so I could have added your shop to the list for nudging my boyfriend towards a Vancouver/Portland trip.

Looooooove this!

I gasped and said "oh no!" when I read about your suit. I'm sure it will be fine, at least it's red!

Beautiful pic with them, I think my favourite one so far!

Good luck with the new work :) I am also now very differently employed since just last month, and so far the anxious-ness has been made worthwhile by the free time!
