Kim's big bash was so much fun! And everywhere I turned, there was some form of my artwork.
First of all, the giant mural filled a whole wall at the back of the room-
but also Kim had blown up images from the background of the smaller painting I'd done that she was using for the event button. (this is one that I kept for myself, Kim sold the rest. She also gave me the large poster from the lobby)
She hung banners from the ceiling, for a very royal feel. Here is the room set up for vendor night before everyone arrived.
For my vendor table, I made tags from the images on my mural. I like them so much that I'll use them for Birdsong too.
My Snow White painting was plastered on everything from the chocolate lollipops, the itinerary, to a lot of swap projects or tags. I was a little overwhelmed by her. But it was a good kind of overwhelmed.
Kim never misses a detail, and our work tables were beyond beautiful. Everyone got a bevelled glass "casket" with a velvet heart, and a matching crowned frame. All were extra good quality items, and pieces I will treasure forever, not just little party favors.
And look at the centerpieces!!!! Gosh, they were something. What a pretty view we had while working.
My Snow was on the back of every chair, in a frame we were each to keep. Along with a goodie bag stuffed with treats. The bag itself was a heavy canvas, yet again, another Kim trademark. Her gifts are high quality items that will last and so nice that you'll be glad they did. No cheesy, cheapy things that are just for show for the day.
And look at how lush the fabrics are the she drapes the room in.
The weekend truly was enchanting. I'm so impressed with Kim's talent and eye for beauty, plus her gracious style of hostessing.
Thanks for another memorable weekend, Kim!
(and I'm soooo looking forward to next year, the theme of Downton Abby will be delightful- that is if all the characters are not killed off by then)
It was so nice to meet you in person Karla on vendor nite!

Hope you had a wonderful Birthday. My 55 is coming in July! I am trying to be excited about finally being able to use the.senoir discount!
This is a wonderful post. I have to do a medieval themed craft room for vacation bible school and the hanging banners looked so great I think I will try them. All your art work was marvelous. You really outdid yourself!

I love seeing more of An Enchanted Affaire! I know your artwork played such an important part in creating the atmosphere. I really like the banners hanging from the ceiling and also seeing some of the gifts y'all received.

Karla, what a beautiful setting for the event!! Your art work is amazing as always and it looks like it was a huge part of the décor. You should feel so good about it. Glad you had a good time. Don't worry about your birthday....you've still got it!! It is nice to come home again isn't it. I planted flowers today and it finally felt so wonderful.
