1 Hoots and Salutes

{if you aren't familiar with Hoots and Salutes, trust me, it is a good thing}

I have amazingly talented friends.
And I am over the top proud of them.  .  . 

so, today I wanted to introduce you to a few!
Maybe you will add a couple of necklaces to your wish list, discover a piece of art, or find a new fashion inspiration.
Either way, in know you will be amazed! :-)

{art}

My precious little in Kappa, Sally Taylor, is one of the most talented artists that I know. Nate and I would love to have a piece of her artwork in our home one day. Sally is a native of Dallas and has studied in Texas, New Mexico and Italy. 

Casey Wiegand and I went to Baylor and Kanakuk together and she is another incredible artist. I am so  lucky to have a original piece that she made for me last year. Casey is incredibly beautiful on the inside and out and her humility and love of Christ draws others to her!  

Miller Gaffney, another Baylor Kappa, is a world renowned art advisor and is currently on Market Warriors on PBS, Monday evenings at 9. Her upbeat personality and sweet spirit makes her a joy to be around.

Jennifer Welker and I have known each other since she was born! A former Texas cheerleader turned jewelry designer and mom of two, Jennifer's charms have graced the necks of Jenna Bush and Pippa Middleton. Jennifer not only has a flare for jewelry but also for fashion and looks like a million bucks every time she walks out of the house! :-) 

Cannon Lewis and my grandmothers were friends but we didn't meet until she got to Baylor and went Kappa! Her beautiful designs have been seen on Reese Witherspoon and Louise Roe. Cannon is widely talented and I love her choice of precious stones to go in each piece.

Summer Spooner and I were also Baylor Kappas together and she is a highly sought after photographer in Dallas. She books up months in advance and is especially known for her newborn pictures. Summer's laid back nature gives her clients such a peace and makes the entire experience so enjoyable! :-)

Sarah Snider and I were cheerleaders together in high school and close friends! She is based in Houston and her photography business covers newborns, families, weddings, and anything in between! Sarah has such a fun and upbeat personality, she has literally never met a stranger! :-) 

{fashion}

Caroline Knapp's husband and I went to high school together and he was one of my favorite guys in his grade! :-) When I met Caroline, I was immediately drawn to her sweet, southern demeanor. But this southerner has taken NYC by storm. Caroline's extremely popular fashion blog has led her to rub elbows with David Yurman and Nate Berkus!

{party planing} 

Christi Bennett and I have known each other since kindergarten! From her wedding to just a simple Stella and Dot open house, you know that if Christi has a hand in it, the party is going to be incredible! Christi also has a flair for fashion, is beautiful and always looks so put together!

Are you amazed?
Next weekend I'll share some more friends that constantly awe me with their talent! :-)
Happy Saturday! :-)
