PAJAMA PARTY!!!

What a lovely day it was this afternoon to be spending a delicious time with great friends, great food in sweet private banquet room at Vigilucci's Seafood & Steakhouse in Carlsbad! A great group of girls came out to celebrate this terrific lady's birthday in a pajama party style! No, we didn't dress in sleep attire for the occasion but did however do something much better! Everyone was required to bring a new pair of pajamas for the white elephant gift exchange. A very nice selection of sleep attire was now up for the taking! Oh la la....too much fun! It was a beautiful day for a beautiful friend and all her beautiful girl posse! Thank you so much for sharing your special day with all of us girls this afternoon! This lovely luncheon you had put together was both thoughtful and most generous!!! I enjoyed today immensely and the company of your great friends! Love , Andie

MY NEW FIND: BOBBIN FOR BOBBINS!

I don't know what I am going to do with these textile bobbins yet but I just couldn't rest the temptation! I seem to be doing that a lot lately and quite honestly should have a better sense of control! Well, I think I am seeing the new Season of Spring emerging sooner than anticipated and just want to freshen up my studio a bit with new and exciting finds . So I will continue to keep you posted on what I came up with along the way!

HOOT! HOOT! A BABY SHOWER FOR DOMINIC!

Oh Boy! Another Owl themed baby shower today with a really exciting candy jar dessert table! Don't mind me tasting a few of those before I dropped them into their candy dishes! I just tried a new flavor of jelly of beans which are to die for...they are chocolate covered jelly beans. They were pretty awesome on their own and combined with the french vanilla jelly bean ....it was pure magic! Well, speaking of magic, there is this delightful dessert table I threw together. Just kidding, I did take my time making the center illustration with the owls and trees, and I did make a few menu cards in frames there for the table, and I did make those really cute tags for the cupcake flags and also in the shape of leaves to tie on the apothecary jars and the wood blocks which my brother made me! Thanks Brian! It was my Christmas present this year which made me very happy because I couldn't wait to use them for an occasion like this one! Hoot! Hoot!

DIGGIN' THE OLD FINDS!

An amazing vintage film reel mailer case arrived just yesterday! I wish the reel actually had film on it but it hadn't. Otherwise, remarkably, the case was historic enough! So excited am I to own a little bit of someones history in the making, no pun intended, with this very handsome carrying case! Love my new find and the Brownie Flash Six - 20 too!

IN MEMORY OF SWEET JESSICA JOY REES! 4.8.98 - 1.5.12

This is a very somber and sad day for me indeed. My heart broke over the sad news of my dear sweet Jessica's passing today. Her daily fan page kept me afloat of her daily aspirations, her courage, her devotion, her will, her strength and at times some of her weakness. Like so many, I was her biggest fan who only gave her mere words of support and encouragement as she braved this fierce battle on her own. Yes, she was blessed by a loving family that fought along the side with her......along with 35,000 fans on Facebook to send loving thoughts and prayers when she needed us most! I will remember her always as she was dear in my heart and she has given me such a gift for knowing her. She never walked alone....as she was one beautiful and courageous little girl that had the whole world loving her! God, has now welcomed Jessica into his home where she can be happy and full of Joy for Joy is what she shared when she was with us! I will think of you always Jessica...with love and admiration, Andie.
