Sam Trout's Back to School Fundraiser

Local clothing designer, Sam Trout, has decided to go back to school and is having a FUNdraiser on December 1st to try and make this happen - there will be a fashion show!

Here is the info straight from Sam:
Have you ever been in that place where you thought, "If I just had a little more training or a little more schooling I'd be able to move up financially in the world and do work that really excites me."? Me too. Work has been a little slow, retail is a little slow and I'm taking this opportunity to do something about it.

You've seen my work, you've worked with me, you've bought my shirts or my art and you know that I'm capable of doing whatever it takes to succeed.

I would like to invite you to this exclusive event that I have created. There will be a fashion show, food, music and drinks, the opportunity to purchase some art for your wall, the debut of my new children's line of clothing, a new dress for the ladies AND the debut of El Capitan Creamery my personal line of Gourmet Ice Cream available by the pint.

I really hope that you will have the chance to come share this exciting evening with me. Be sure to register now because space is limited. If you're not able to make it but still want to show your support, please make a donation via paypal to lulaline@yahoo.com or even take some time to go through my webstore and order yourself a shirt or two.

Thank you so much for your time and support and I look forward to seeing you at the party. If you'd like to get into the event for FREE, buy two shirts online now and I'll put your name on the list.

Holiday Trunk Show & Pamper Party

I'm really excited to announce that on this Thursday, the 19th, I will be setting up a table and actually selling my jewelry. I have taken about a year or so off from making new pieces due to Urban Fashion Network and all the time I have devoted to the site and the blogs. Now that is not a bad thing as I love every moment I give to UFN but it's time to dust of the ole jewelry skills, make some new pieces and see if anyone is interested. I hope you all are!

The event will be held in Ballard at the Duque Salon & Spa (5348 Ballard Ave NW. Seattle, WA 98107) from 6-9pm. There will be some amazing designers, even I'm looking forward to getting my holiday shopping done at this event!

Here are the details:

Bring a friend and kick back, relax and start your holiday gift shopping! A portion of all proceeds will benefit breast cancer awareness and research.

The owner of Duque Salon & Spa is a breast cancer survivor and has generously offered us their space for the evening. They will be providing mini spa services at Duque and consultations with a makeup artist at their cosmetic studio next door, Shimmer Beauty Bar. The first 30 people in the door will get a great bag of swag! There are also some amazing raffle prizes that we will give away throughout the evening, including spa/salon services and a set of lash extensions worth over $125! There will be other specials on all services during the event - if you feel the need to indulge.

We have several vendors who will be selling jewelry, candles, spa products and great gift items for you and all those on your list. If you feel so inclined, please also bring some nibbles or a beverage to share while you shop. This event is open to anyone...so bring a girlfriend or forward this event to anyone you wish!

Duque Salon & Shimmer Beauty Bar are located right at the bell tower in old Ballard.
