WinterFest...Both Wintery &...Festive

WinterFest was a fun event. Despite the 1'+ snow fall ending at 6 AM the day of, getting the car stuck in the snow at the end of our road and general snow related themes, there was an impressive turnout. Even a few of my good friends, Ms. Megan Pratola, Mama Pratola and Barbie Koester made it out to check out the event.

Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. My personal favorite part of the day was the pie auction! You heard me, pie auction. Gotta love fairs in Minnesota!




PIE AUCTION!!

Henna!

I had the honor & privaledge of attending my friends Marta & Nagdeep Giri's Hindu wedding in a beautiful new Hindu Temple in Minnesota over Labor Day. It was back to back wedding weekend and also saw one of my BFF's Megan Pratola tie the knot, what a happy time!

I realized I don't know many Hindu people and accordingly may not have the opportunity to attend a Hindu wedding again, so I gave myself an over the top but lovely henna tattoo and borrowed a sari from my friend and GAS Works store-mate Sara Maurno. I am in love with Indian textiles. The sari's Nagdeep & Marta's family and friends wore were so stunning and mesmerizing. I'd like to travel to India, I know I will be so intrigued visually!
