Getting Creative.

It is so nice for me to have my sister Paula living with us right now. Though I love getting creative with fabric and other various materials, I often forget the simplicity of creating with paper while having the kids participate.

Ashlynn and Ryder spent most of the day last week working with her on decorations for Thanksgiving, here is a little sample of something Ashlynn came up with:

A New Fall Blouse & Skirt.

Can't wait to see what I find on clearance this winter!

Thanks to all who stopped by and visited our booth last weekend! Paula, Ashlynn & I enjoyed meeting new faces. Ashlynn made an especially lovely assistant and relished choosing which bag went best with the flower clips, she put in a hard days work for us! Here are a few shots of our booth:










Thanks to Noodlehead for the original pattern of the clutch you see on our mannequin!
