Teacher Feature: Reachel Bagley

Reachel Bagley wants you to feel pretty. From personal shopping for Anthropologie to teaching Wardrobe Strategies at the collegiate level, she has earned her stripes as a fitting room expert. She doesn't just clothe, she instructs: body types, travel packing, current trends... In her own words, fashion provides the tools to match our external selves with our internal selves. In addition to fashion she adores any combination of travel, vegetarian cooking, modern art, her husband and two squishy cherubs

Reachel will be teaching the Charming Closets class at hello there! house home & garden event. Visit her blog at cardiganempire.com to learn more about Reachel!

Teacher Feature: Annie Walker

A native of suburban Pittsburgh, PA, I've lived in the valley for 6 years. I attended West Virginia University where I earned a bachelor's degree in Child Development and Family Studies. After studying it, I'm living it: I've been married to my husband Scott, for 3 years and I stay home with our three little girls, Genevieve (2), Josie (3 months) and step-daughter Mikayla, (8). Our family of five is extended by our mutt, Rooney, and our six chickens. In my spare time, I enjoy outings and traveling with my family, cooking, reading, yoga, and trying to keep my garden from dying

Annie will be teaching the Urban Farming class at hello there! house home & garden event; a class that teaches sustainability in your own home by raising chickens. Come & see Annie talk about her class at our next Meet  'N' Greet at Joe's Farm Grill

Teacher Feature: Debbie Christensen

Welcome to our first Teacher Feature! We are going to be introducing all our fantastic teachers to get you even more excited about The Event in October!

So without further ado, here is Debbie:

Debbie is first and foremost a wife and mother. She has three awesome kids that take up most of her time, but in her spare time she loves to thrift shop, decorate, sew and create art in all sorts of forms. She is a native Arizonan who was born in Mesa and grew up in Gilbert. She and her husband (who is also an Arizona native) have been married for eight years and they purchased their first home about a year and a half ago in the historic areas of downtown Mesa. They have enjoyed (for the most part) fixing it up and making it their own. The goal for her and her home is to create and beautiful, comfortable, and functional place for them to learn, grow, love, and play in. Her family is the most important thing to her so she strives to create a perfect home and place for them.

Debbie will be teaching Chic Children’s Spaces at hello there! house home & garden event. Visit her blog at debsfreckles.blogspot.com to learn more about Debbie!
