Glitter Market Was Like This

I am bristling when I hear Christmas music. I realize it's now post-Thanksgiving and I usually start on my Celine Christmas CD but it feels wrong this year. Too early.  Maybe if I unwind the fall events and get farther along on my 2012 list I will be more in the mood. With that....Glitter Market.

Our fourth annual local handmade market produced by Paper Crown is always fun. I love these vendors. Who says we don't have crafty people in Oklahoma? Actually someone did say that during Silver Bella. I might be holding a grudge...

OH these gals...

Charlotte Perez beloved for her jewelry, laughter and those red lips.

Jackie Peters our premier Oklahoma paper artist. She bakes. She gives. She achieves at the highest standard.

Colette Copeland came from Canada! Us Oklahoma gals are a draw, really, she keeps coming back. Thankfully so.

Above, my purchases and goodies from Colette.

There is a lovely restraint and a little wink in all her work.

Charlotte...Oy...

Holly Abston.

Without a doubt the most gorgeous, funny, empathetic creature on this planet.

And talented something fierce...

 

My stuff..

I still have journals remaining...might offer them on Etsy or here?

My knits are still wanted.

It remains humbling..

Franc. Franc Franke. What a doll.

She helps Jackie by whipping those crowds into shape. She is Jackie's bouncer.

 

Here are my Jackie purchases and goodies...

Jackie and Evangeline my bird's birdie.

We will do Glitter Market next fall again and maybe this spring where I will bring soft things like dolls and pillows...maybe, probably.

Gawd 2013? No.

Cake Tops and Holly

I have blogged in my short bloglife already about Miss Holly. I am fixin' (yes I said fixin') to do it again. In a prior post , I admitted to having found a pretty avatar on Flikr which I followed to Holly Abston and found that she teaches classes right here in Oklahoma City. Not California. Not New York. Oklahoma! where the wind comes sweeping down the plain. I made her Butterfly Crown and now it lives on a lamp in my craft room, or studio (wait, I might be struck by lighting for saying studio....) okay we're good.

I took another class this last Saturday for a Cake Top Box. Mmmmmm. She has terrific little kits. I love the anticipation of what lies beneath...

The pretties inside the kit. Her kits are so complete, absolutely all you need to bring is your glue gun and an ability not to cuss as hot glue sears your flesh.

Along the way.

Later that day.

My cake top box lives alongside the jadite pieces in my china cabinet.

I will be going to Holly's house later this week because I totally weaseled in Holly's request of my friend Jemellia to make a slip cover for her. See what a sweet little bundle Jemellia brought to class for me just because I am her friend? Clearly that was before she realized I getting all up in her slipcover.

So I will be ogling Holly's house taking my stalking of her to the next level. Lucky girl...
