Dear Mr. President....

I recently sent 2 skirts to Sasha & Malia Obama in an effort to raise the President's awareness about the absurdity of the CPSIA. I am offering these new designs in womens sizes in my etsy shop!






made with the fabulous new fabric collection Mezzanine from Patty Young at Michael Miller and featuring my comfy yoga waistband. If you feel like making your own pick up some mezzanine fabric in my other etsy shop Betty's Closet

Sharing some Eye Candy~~

I am finally getting around to posting my photos from my trip to Jennifer Paganelli's house and her amazing Sis Boom Sale!

arriving at her front door....



On her front porch was the most amazing art from folk artist Barbara Strawser. I have always loved the folk art style but have been less than enthusiastic about the colors in the paintings until I saw Barbaras art....I would love to hang her art in every room of my house! Her colors are divine...images soft and beautiful...







fantastic!

Then.....countless goodies inside Jennifer's...head to my flickr account if you want to see them all but I will share a few of the highlights here!




LOVE her banners made with vintage wallpaper, glitter letters and fabulous trim!










a sneak peek into her studio!!! shear heaven!! vintage papers, trim, glitter, goodies everywhere you looked!




the biggest vat of glitter I have ever seen!





it was such a treat to be able to see all of this creativity & loveliness in person! Jennifer made everyone feel welcome, I had the opportunity to meet some of her other creative friends...Nancy Geany of Dark Horse Farms Design and Danielle from The Vintage Dragonfly. I truly hope to get back there again soon!

Thank you Jennifer!
