While wrapping up some gifts to take to Silver Bella, I thought I'd gather up the gift for the November Giveaway. So many of you were hoping to win the bundles of vintage trim that I gave away earlier this month, that I thought I'd tie up a few more bits of it and offer that as the giveaway.
I'll be away for the weekend, and will be swamped when I return, so might not have time to answer your comments, but will enjoy reading them. And each one goes into the drawing for the prize.
The blog redo that Hope did for me, is so pretty and is exactly what I wanted. I'm loving the new look! So I wanted to thank her and bring a little gift to show her how much I appreciate her work. I look forward to seeing her again, its so good to reconnect with buddies at the event! The flocked wallpaper I glued onto the book is the same that she used for the side bars of my blog.
She keeps an art journal, and is a champion doodler. I thought maybe she'd enjoy an ephemera filled book with her name on it to fill up with her artistic ramblings.
Making a book for Hope got me fired up to make a few more...
Mary had given me a stack of old book covers, and I am finding them very compelling. Little books filled with old papers has been something I've been making for a couple years now, and it is even more fun with these book covers.
Each is filled with with a mismatched assortment of papers, plus some tags that I like to trail ribbons and doodads from.
The last few days have been a hodge podge of little projects, as well as running errands, packing up and over all getting ready to go.
There is still a LOT left to do. So why do I get so side tracked? I didn't need to make books. I should have been packing up my supplies instead. Or why did I make myself a brooch to wear on my coat? That's just how it goes around here. I can't help myself.
My Sissy gave me this cubic zirconia pendant, that looks like a crown, and I thought it would be great on one of my vintage medal ribbons with the "K" pendant that was a gift from Carol, last year at Silver Bella. With a tiny millinery rose added, of course!
My table is filled with an assortment of things that I decided I need to add to my booth, so I still have some price tags to make and packing to do. The truck is loaded and ready, but there are always odds and ends that get added at last minute.
I almost envy the people who ship their vendor goods... they at least have to limit themselves and not go crazy with inventory. I went crazy with mine.
