10.8.07

Aren't there some things that you could just stare at for a long time to be inspired? For me, it's ribbon, jars of buttons, and rich patterned papers and glitters. Just looking at my newly organized ribbons and lace makes me smile and want to use it! I ended up having to use TWO baskets...so this is part of one. I acquired some fun vintage lace recently. I want to use a bunch on some upcoming swaps for Silver Bella. If you need to stare at a larger photo, just click on this one.

Speaking of Silver Bella... the special guest speaker for Friday's luncheon is Chris Brown of Urban Prairie. I cannot WAIT to meet him and hear him speak. I had to laugh when I was reading his blog and saw that his favorite store in Austin is MY favorite store - Uncommon Objects. Cool! :)

I have some fun ideas for classes next year....with fabric, handmade flowers, mini albums, hand-stitching, glitter, buttons....(sigh) Just need to get it all organized on paper, in a notebook...out of my head.

And here's your evening funny - The Office: Take Your Daughter To Work :)




And bonus! Take Your Daughter To Work - Deleted Scenes :)
(actually fills in some gaps from the first clip)



There are rest and healing in the contemplation of antiquities.

Jennifer, I can't find an archive on your blog and I was wondering which cart you bought for retreats. I remember that you got it at The Container Store, but which one? Thanks!
