Are You Ready for a Break? Enjoy the Hot Sun and Haute Pink Designs

I often escape to my art space when I am looking for a quick break or getaway.  Having the things that I love in my studio space adds to the relaxing ambiance. Some of my favourite things in my studio are my vanilla scented candle, special gifts and words of comfort that friends have given me over the years, pictures of my family and a few of my favourite art pieces from other fabulous artists. My art space is my sanctuary when I need a little space to get away from life's every day tasks.

 What kinds of special things do you keep in your space?

This is the time of year when everyone is looking for an escape from the cold and winter weather. A tropical getaway in one of these eco-friendly handmade swimsuits is a must.

Enjoy a visit to Haute Pink Designs http://www.etsy.com/shop/HautePinkDesigns where you may find your perfect swimsuit for that special Spring Break.

by Haute Pink Designs

Haute Pink Designs began in 2005. In 2008 swimsuits became Haute Pink's full focus. All swimsuits are designed and made by owner Laura Ashton in a home studio...NO SWEAT SHOPS! Haute Pink aspires to help women's feel confident and sexy in swimwear. A passion for color is the driving force as well as creative yet practical designs. All swimsuits are fully lined and come with removable pads for added shape and support.

Haute Pink is unique because you can build your own swimsuit! Just choose a design, mix and match top and bottoms sizes and select any fabric combination you would like! Customer service is very important to Haute Pink, if your swimsuit does not fit you right send it back with the tags still on and we will send you another suit free of any shipping charges.

We are excited to soon be bringing in an Eco swimsuit fabric! Made 100% out of recycled plastic and made in the USA, not overseas. Re-using plastic helps our planet by keeping this refuse from our landfills. Manufacturing in North America uses less oil because the fabric does not have to be shipped from overseas. All in all this reduces the negative impact on our beautiful planet and beaches!

The Long Weekend

Hello everyone. I hope you had a great long weekend ( if you are in Canada). It was Thanksgiving here in Canada this past Monday. The fall colours are amazing. My family and I took a long ride North to a place called Agawa Provincial Park. We hiked on an ancient trail which led us to rock bluffs along Lake Superior. When you reach this spot you can actually stand right next to ancient Native Pictographs over 700 years old. Some scientists believe they are maybe even 1000 years old. The ride through the Canadian Shield is breath taking. Amazing!

Thanksgiving is a perfect time to reflect on the many blessings in our lives and take gratitude in all of our gifts. I am grateful for many wonderful things in my life.

Have a great day!
