I hope everyone is staying safe! School’s out for most of us! We are in graduation season and soon, going into Summer travels! Not sure about where you live, but is it global warming, climate change, or what is the deal with these rains? In a quote attributed to Thomas Tusser,
Sweet April showers do spring May flowers.
So I am not sure why in May, we still have rainfalls! I am glad though, that I do not have to water my outdoor plants! So, that is a great thing! In another post, I would share photos of my recently completed landscape! The flowers are absolutely gorgeous!
Other than the rain, it has been work, work, pop-up shop experience on the weekends (two weekends in a row)! Remember, we were a part of the vendor pool for the NWA Girl Gang event in Springdale during the Memorial Day weekend? Check out my post on that event! Super excited that our authentic African Fashion Accessories brand, Abi Eso Accessories, got to participate in Her Set Her Sound, featuring 7 Northwest Arkansas women DJs and other PerformHers in Fayetteville, Arkansas!
So, what is next for us? We just received some good news that in celebration of Juneteenth 2021, we will be participating in “Let’s Talk NWA’s mini expo event (Saturday, June 19, 2021, from 6 pm – 9 pm)! The event will be at Jefferson Park Spring Shop Studios in Fayetteville, Arkansas! We will have some gorgeous waist beads for sale at the event!
Below is a short clip from our recent African marketplace event in Fayetteville, Arkansas!
Some photos from our recent event in Springdale! The 3-piece headwrap combo is available on our website! We have lots of authentic African statement earrings from Kenya and Nigeria also on the site!

Speaking fashion and speaking fashion accessories in particular, I thought I would end this post with this great quote from Luis Enrique Cavazos:
“Fashion is an emotional theater through which we carry ourselves in a scenic stage where we get to be a representative of the world. Nothing beats the feeling of conveying a message through one’s imagination, design, and motivating others to live a meaningful life. To me, that is sexy.”
