What is RAW?

I once heard that "luck is when preperation and opportunity meet." Where I have been preparing now for over 3 years, RAW is giving me my opportunity.

On September 6th, Reclaimed Wreckage/Lisa Miller will be the featured artist for a runway show at The Depot, put on by RAW, Natural Born Artists!!! They came and found me and needless to say I was stupid excited about this opportunity!

RAW, Natural Born Artists is an artist driven organization designed to put local artists on the map. Now in over 60 cities they've found there way in to my little hometown of Salt Lake, and picked ME to be their main artist. A normal single mother going to school full time while running a business might just throw my accessories on someone elses clothing line... But let's face it, that's just not like me. So, the first Thursday in September, look for my accessories to be draped across my BRAND NEW CLOTHING LINE!!

Now I just gotta learn how to design, draft, and sew clothes ;)

In the meantime, click on RAW to check out this amazing local artist organization.

My Partner...

So I met someone "at a coffee shop" (my version of the story).

Here's the story.

I walk into a local coffee shop to meet him (randomly of course, I mean, it's not like we met on an online dating website or something...nope... not even that at all...wasn't Match.com... nope... ), and before words are spoken between us, he spills hot coffee on me...So naturally, I retaliated and within 60 seconds, I got us both with more coffee.

We talked for awhile about each other until we decided that the afternoon would best be spent searching the city for a photo booth that would squish our faces together.  You read that right.  It was very important.  We failed.  First we went to Gateway, broke an escalator and lost his Jeep.  Then went to Fat Catz with no luck.  Later we met at Chucky Cheese's...not for dinner (as if that would have been better), but rather to continue our quest for this particular type of photo booth.  We thought we had finally found our machine whennnn it was out of paper... then toner... annnnnnd then turned out to be the wrong machine anyway...

So we left with $10 worth of unused tokens (we were reimbursed the 2 we used since the machine didn't work right), and decided to go see a movie.  We picked out the latest horror film, and it's latest showing, 10:50 PM.  We headed off to Iggy's for a quick bite, and arrived back at the theatre at 10:45PM...to find the doors to the theatre locked.  After finding a way in, we headed to what turned out to be the last 20 minutes of the movie (we read the 10:50 AM showing) ... Basically we arrived just when you find out Bruce Willis has been dead the whole time.

Several months later, after a day that we've decided we "failed with Flair," We've been on 5 mini vacations with and with out the 3 kids between us.  We've gone on Motocycle rides, to competitive races, and Skydiving in Moab.  Our kids love each other, and so do we.

Last weekend we attended RAW's runway show at The Depot in SLC, UT.  Where I will be the featured artist in September... More on this in the next post... which is right now.
