Cousin Gigi loves art. We went to HolleeAnns for an Arty Party play date yesterday morning. HolleeAnn has an entire room in her home set up like a store, filled to the brim with little gifts and fun party favors. It’s like a Sanrio gift shop. She curates the cutest themed gift bags and sells them on Etsy as ready to go parties. It’s so creative and the happiest little space. If her health permitted, she could open a brick and mortar mercantile shop and it would have a line out the door of tweens. My kids loved shopping her shelves and picking out things to create!
Of course she had tiny paint pallets and aprons for them because she has all the details ready.
The littles painted their hearts out, and I got to chat with my sister and pet Dolly (her recently adopted chiweenie dog) and watch the baby deer in her backyard.
Sloane dreams of working for her Etsy shop, or in a real storefront someday. HolleeAnn’s shop room is definitely her happy place. It is filled with glitter and unicorns and every teeny tiny thing imaginable. My inner 11 year old has a heart attack with joy and every time I’m in there I’m taken back to 6th grade trips up to oak ridge mall with Katy Myrvold and Sara Parker to shop for best friends necklaces and fun pens and notepads and earrings.
My girls both brought home blankets they ordered last time we went over. My sister loves to shop, but knows I’m a minimalist 😂😂 so she carefully orders things that are useful like pajamas and blankies so she can spoil the kids and not overwhelm me with stuff. The girls go help HolleeAnn out with unboxing and sorting inventory onto shelves and organizing displays. My kids are lucky to have such a fun auntie and cousin right here in Bella Vista.
