The Autumn decor trends are now readily available in stores and I found myself truly excited tonight over one particular display at TJ Maxx!
It was gorgeous!! The blue green tones with soft iridescent oranges, gold accents, and even burlap!
I was positively giddy rearranging their display to see how I could pair things up at home lol! I love this time of year! Happy Fall Y’all!!
So last time I updated on the pageant world we had just gotten our head shots back and we’re preparing for Gala…
Gala is an evening dinner event for the girls, their families, and the sponsors. It is at this event that the ladies are paired with their sponsors for the pageant. It is a very exciting night for the girls. As a reminder our daughter Brianna is one of the top ten contestants competing for the title of Miss Jackson County Teen USA. She has a very good friend, Celia Napoletano, who is competing for the title of Miss Jackson County Rose Queen. These pageants are part of the Miss USA competition and if they win they will move on to the state level competition for their respective age groups.
Brianna and Celia have grown up together in the pageant circuit, and they were both so badly wanting to be paired with the same sponsor. As each teen contestant is paired with a Miss contestant as a mentor through sponsorship….Hopefully I’ve connected all the dots here lol.
Gala did not disappoint! Celia is now Miss JTV and so of course Brianna is now Miss Teen JTV!
I am so immensely proud of these two! And I know they will do a great job representing JTV, owned and operated by Bart and Karen Hawley.
Since the gala, the contestants participated in a sash making party. Preparing hand made sashes to display during the Rose parade this coming weekend.
And…We went shopping for gowns!!! My favorite part lol!
She did choose a favorite but I’m not letting cat out of the bag just yet. Stay tuned! Up next her appearance tomorrow on JTV, and the Rose Parade!
I love shopping for new kitchen utensils like these ridiculously adorable measuring cups in the shapes of little birds. I’m on a mission now because these little cuties are not located anywhere near me, but I’m determined to find something similar. They are too cute!
