Halloween Time Means Custom Costumes

Since my children were little I have been wanting to make them Halloween costumes every year like my mother made for me. When I came up with this plan I can no sewing machine and hadn’t sewn since home ec. (does this term makes me sound old?) in high school! Now I am no seamstress. […]

Backpacking Blood Mountain – My First Backpacking Experience

Growing up I never went camping. My family never went on hikes, and generally only spent outdoor time at playgrounds, backyards, and ball fields. Once in a blue moon we would head to the beach, but never on a regular basis. I never really knew we were missing something. My mother recently has developed a […]

My Whole 30 Journey

After having children your body isn’t the same. Period. Body parts hang differently, hair is in strange locations and has a different texture, your skin may change, even your scent may change. Regardless, things get weird. And let’s face it – it’s not terribly surprising considering that you just grew and birthed a human (or […]

Happy birthday us! On October 7, 2013 I posted my very first blog post to the olive shoe's original wordpress site titled, "What is the olive shoe?". ⁠ ⁠ This is THE olive shoe. A gift from my grandmother, it was the inspiration and a perfect representation of my brand: whimsical, artful, and functional. ⁠ ⁠ To quote myself: "the olive shoe is itself a piece of art AND it’s functional AND it’s fun AND I love it dearly. That’s how I try to live – creatively, to the art-fullest, with heart, purpose, and a sense of humor."

Tradition can add such memorable special touches to milestone events.⁠ ⁠ The crown pictured was made out of pure gold 'thread' in Sweden by a cousin and given to my mother when she was in high school to be worn on her wedding day, which she did. I then wore the same crown in my own wedding - pictured here with my birdcage veil, and two years ago, my cousin also wore it. ⁠ ⁠ What family traditions have you used in special events in your life?

Congratulations and best wishes to the new Mr. and Mrs. McClure today!!! Thanks for choosing The Olive Shoe to celebrate with you. ⁠ ⁠ Sneak peek of Mary Miller and Sean's gorgeous glam wedding suite, complete with custom wax seals and hand calligraphy by the amazing @breemooredesign. ⁠ ⁠ Can't wait to reveal the whole suite after the big day!
