one busy lady.

hello, hello!
camp ebv has been bustling today. i am working on a big shop update for this weekend + some new advertising campaigns. i've got some new models shooting saturday, so i'm working on their stuff. photographing, editing, measuring...
anyway, get excited. there's some good stuff coming soon. catch a little sneak peek below.

p.s. groupon is selling $50 merchandise credits to american apparel today. i bought it. you probably should too. check out this link: http://www.groupon.com/r/uu10303260 (if you have to chose a city, pick birmingham & look for the american apparel deal on the right side)

the windy city.

hello, hello!
good afternoon ladies & gentlemen. i hope this blog post finds you doing well.
so...we got home from chicago sunday, & i couldn't be happier to be home. let me just say this: i won't be going back to chicago this late in the year. ever. ever. again. ever. no matter what. well...maybe if...nope. nevermind. never.
we realized the hard way that we are a couple of southerners who just don't handle the cold well. it's really not even the cold. we love to ski, so cold isn't the issue. it's that unbearable wind. now, i know the city is called the windy city. whoever came up with that didn't have to be a brainiac. i just never imagined it could be so bad. we just about froze to death & the wind broke my ezup tent that i use to cover my dress racks. that didn't put a smile on my face.
however, all things considered...the trip really wasn't all terrible. i made some new customers. i sold some pretty awesome dresses. i was pleased to get to meet their new owners. the boy & i got to snuggle & sleep in late. i did actually win $92 at the casino. also, i had the best bloody mary i've ever had...in a bell pepper. i wouldn't consider it the best trip we've ever taken, but we're pretty good at making the best out of otherwise crappy situations.
here's the pictures. i've gotta get back to work...i'm working on lotsa new vintage boots & dresses for the shop this week!
cheers,
savannah
p.s. we got a dog today. his name is (johnny) cash. he is my sister's dog, but she moved & couldn't take him, so we decided to keep him. we heart him. & his little christmas sweater.

the hippies take chicago.

yep, yep.
the boy & i are going to the big city tomorrow. i always get excited about our adventures, but for some reason, i'm particularly excited about this one. further is playing this weekend & we are going up to vend the shows. (further is bob weir & phil lesh from the grateful dead's band) i love, love, love the grateful dead (let's be honest. who freakin' doesn't?) & i'm definitely excited to catch the shows.
in addition, we decided to go up a day early to have a little date night in the city. between him traveling with his band so much & my girl's trip to new orleans last weekend, work, and the kiddos and everything else we have going on, we have both been so busy lately & haven't seen a whole bunch of each other...which is weird since we live in the same house. anywho, so we are going up early so we have plenty of time to explore on the way up (we love road trip exploring.) & just enjoy each other's company in different scenery. we have the "honeymoon suite" reserved at one of the casinos tomorrow night. (ok, maybe i fibbed to the hotel lady & told her we were on our honeymoon to score the upgraded room. so sue me.) one of our favorite things to do is drink beer & play penny slot machines right beside each other. i love to gamble, but i also hate wasting money, so a few months back, he convinced me to give the penny slots a try & now i love it. we drink beer & laugh & we usually even win $50 or so. it's fun.
anyhow, so i'll be home on monday to report on the weekend. in other news, i've also got about a million pairs of killer vintage boots that are hitting the the store next week so keep your eyes out for those.
one more thing...my sweet baby presley is feeling a little sick today. she had to miss school today for the first time & was kinda bummed about that. :( she's spending the weekend with her daddy & i'm sure she's gonna be fine, but you guys keep her in your thoughts if you would. it's always so pitiful when one of the babies get sick!
cheers,
savannah marie

the big easy.

well...hello, hello, pretty ladies!
i can't even believe it has taken me this long to regroup after the big girl's trip. i got home sunday & am just now feeling normal again. we stayed up way too late, drank a little too much, gambled, shopped, ate, danced, laughed...it was a great trip. i do love my girlfriends so. very. much.
i came back sunday & took presley to our good friend's halloween party. we go every year. it's out at her family's farmhouse. we all dress up & get together & act silly.
i think i'll let the pictures speak for themselves. i'm about to cuddle up with handsome & watch nightmare on elm street while eating some of my mama's chili she gave me earlier today.
cheers,
savannah
p.s. presley dressed up as a black cat & nathan & i dressed up as a plug & a socket! what did you guys dress up as?

girls gone wild.

hello, hello!
just a quick note before i hit the bed super early tonight...i am pulling out of town at 5 am in the morning. i am super excited about the weekend plan. i'm headed to new orleans to spend the weekend in general debauchery with my bffs. nathan's got shows all week/weekend, so he's outta town, so it's just me & my ladyfriends. i'm vending the widespread panic shows friday & saturday. we're staying at this sweet hotel on bourbon street. i will likely stay up way too late perusing bourbon street or undoubtedly winning millions in the casino. either way, it is sure to be uncontrollable fun. i will, obviously, photograph the whole weekend. i'll be back sunday afternoon to take presley trick or treating & to go to our good friend's annual halloween party. i will be back to report on the weekend after that.
cheers,
savannah

happy friday, sunshines! (tries to muster up a smile)
hope this finds you guys doing well. me...not so much. it's been a tough week here at campebv. let me give you the rundown: so, two weeks ago, we vended an event in charleston. i had to pee. no where close by to pee. i pee in woods. i look down, only to realize i've decided to pee in poison ivy. i freak. i lose my balance (perhaps due to the cocktails consumed, or the oppressive heat. hard to say.). a poison ivy branch swipes across my butt as i fall. i freak again. i decide "it's probably ok" & i stop freaking.

oh how wrong i was.

so, 2 days later, i end up with poison ivy in a place you don't want poison ivy. (my butt, it could've been worse i guess, lol). miserable, i call the doctor and ask for something to clear it up. doc gives me steroids. i take them. wake up the next morning feeling horrible. i assume i've gotten sick on top of my poison ivy issues. (we have lotsa late nights when we travel. often, this ends up making me sick when we get home.)
all week, i get sicker & sicker. finally, thursday night, i end up with horrible, horrible, pain in my legs...so bad i can barely walk. i freak again. my mama comes to pick up presley & i go to hospital. as it turns out, i'm allergic to steroids. doc tells me to stay off my legs & take pain meds & wait for it to get out of my system. so i wait. and wait. i'm still waiting...it is getting better, but still pretty much sucks. i suspect i will be healed in a day or two. i've been attempting to use mind control to cure myself, since i am supposed to be leaving next thursday for a vending trip/girl's only adventure weekend in new orleans. i'd really like to enjoy that with a fully functional body. hey, at least i don't have poison ivy on my butt anymore. the steroids cleared that up in like an hour, right before trying to take me down, apparently.

anyhow, so i've been stuck at home for awhile. i've jumped into all kinds of organizing & crafting projects. i also updated my lookbook & chictopia accounts. it would be awesome if you guys would check me out on those sites.
cheers,
savannah marie
