It’s Fall, Y’all!
Well, it doesn’t really feel like fall down here in Houston, but we’re ready!! It’s been a busy quarter for me, but when is it ever not?! We’re settled into our new home, I’m sewing like a mad woman, and we’re gearing up for what is already a busy holiday season. Here’s what you may have missed on the blog if you blinked…
This is Red Shoes. Red Wine.’s quarterly newsletter/e-zine, and a short and colorful recap of all the adventures we’ve had this past quarter, blog posts that were published, and a reminder to subscribers of all the goodies hidden in the password protected Subscriber’s Only page (sign-up at the very bottom for the password).
Adventures on Instagram
As a reminder, the best way to get updates and follow day-to-day adventures is to follow me on Instagram. In the past quarter on Instagram, and not yet featured on the blog, are costume building, a Caribbean cruise out of Miami, costume conventions in California and Atlanta, wine tastings and reviews, and our fur babies. Below are the new blog posts published in the past quarter.

Subscriber’s Only Page
New to the blog last year is the password protected Subscriber’s Only page, where I’ve collected all my free downloads (packing lists, patterns, wine sheets, and recipes) just for newsletter subscribers. The preview above is a sample of what’s on the page, and I add more as I create new stuff! New in the last quarter are costume patterns and recipes, so check them out! Please come back any time in the future for more!
What’s Coming This Fall
I hope you’re ready! I’m going on a Halloween cruise with some girlfriends, attending Texas Renaissance Festival with new and old costumes, running a half marathon at Disney in Orlando, and going on another cruise for New Year’s Eve. The blog posts I hope to find time for are a review of last year’s wine advent calendar from Vinebox, a recap of some past cruises I haven’t gotten around to yet, quidditch costume builds, and more cruise tips…and really anything else I can squeeze in! If there’s something you’d like me to cover, let me know!
