There were lots of good intentions of getting a ton of wallpaper cut.... but it just didn't happen. But what I did get cut is as pretty as can be.
Sometimes I just have to admit that there is only so much time in a day. Yesterday, Sugarwings and Pixie Pie came to play and I had to chose between getting my work done or being a grammy. I think you know what won!
Oh well, its not like the paper will spoil. I can cut more later when I am not pressed for time.
While I was working, it seemed like I had really cut up a lot, but once it was all ironed and packaged, it was much less than I thought it would be. I guess because I cut such big pieces this time, a hefty 14 x 17".
A lot of people were asking me for larger pieces, and I wanted to do a variety of sizes, but well, I've already mentioned that I was distracted by something shiny- two little sparkly fairies!
For now, I have about a dozen or so packs listed in the Boutique. And I have hopes of making up more packs when I get back from my trip to Moulin Rouge.
All purchases from the Boutique and from Etsy will be shipped a couple of days after I get back. Thanks for being patient!
There is also some other new stuff listed for sale, like this banner made of vintage gift wrap and old game cards (from my friend, Mary)
While I didn't get as much wallpaper packed up as I wanted to, I made up for it by cutting up what felt like a million or so pieces of old gift wrap. While I had it out, getting it ready to sell, I just had to make a few things with it too.
Like this mini notebook.
Its pretty stuff, isn't it?
I'll leave you with some more photos of what is new in the shops. And please check back, even though I'll be away, I'll have some new posts for you.
Now, I'm off to pack for Moulin Rouge. I'm not quite sure what to bring. I think I'd look more than a bit ridiculous as a can can girl. More of a can't can't old lady.
Oh well, I'll throw on one of Sugarwing's feather boas from her dress up pile and go kick my legs up any way. This is one old grammy who doesn't care about looking ridiculous!
All the papers look so beautiful, Karla! Have a wonderful time at the Moulin Rouge - remember, Yes, you can can! :-)

Pressed for time? Haha! I wonder if that pun (since you iron the paper you cut to get it flat) was intentional...
Hope you have a good time at Moulin Rouge! I'm looking forward to a picture of your kicking it with Sugarwing's feather boas.

Love that wallpaper. It's funny how people in different parts of the country find different vintage items. I aways envy your millinery flowers and wallpaper because those are things I just NEVER find here in the Pacific Northwest in spite of the amount of time I spend "junking". I always wonder what WE have that other parts of the country don't find. Hope you have fun on your trip and maybe some new "finds"!

Oh how beautiful. Making me want to get into something else. I am into the plastic bag cutting and that is pretty rough on a sore shoulder. Enjoy your little trip. Blessings
