Rose Bowl Flea Finds

A trip to the Rose Bowl Flea was part of the November 2012 Spellbound event.

Why is it some people can look good looking into the sun? Whatever.

I bought this blue suitcase right away and then promptly filled it.

I could have sold that case many times over.

I bought a complete service for 6 on this mother of pearl flatware.

Can you just smell these erasers. I had to have them.

This school work book is from Garfield county Oklahoma. I had to bring it home from California. It is an exquisite study of biology and geography. I cant find a date on it but the pages are so old. half the page has waxy pages and the other half is like kraft paper. Lot so drawings. And this student shared my father's first name.

It's back home, Floyd.

Spellbound: Senora Perez

I would have enjoyed Spellbound without, but with her, it was transcendent.

Charlotte Perez inspires in me every way. All of them.

No need to expound on that kind of connection with someone where you communicate with just a look.

 

And her Jorje is a hunk of burning love.

Thank you, Charlotte, for being my beloved friend.
This sums it up...

Thank you Martha Schuster for this collage.
Martha, you have an ability to move your head and neck in a subtle way that slays.

Spellbound: The Event

Spellbound, a Gilded Life Event was held in November 2012 in The Langham Hotel in Pasadena California. I will not go on about how opulent it was, I'll just post some pictures and you deduce what you will.

The Langham Hotel was truly the perfect setting for a Shea and Debbie event...

 

The property is smack dab in an old Pasadena neighborhood through which I took a quiet walk whilst California showed off its weather.

The name tag. Yep, name tag..

Welcome dinner make and take was this sweet pouch.

Here with my Kaari class bracelet and the goodie bag. Yep, bag...

Place setting for lunch...

My necklace from class with JoAnna Pierotti...

Stitching goodies from Pam Garrison.

My project which will become a journal cover rather than a wall hanging...



My Kristen Robinson project is unfinished. I was having a hard time soldering that day but the bracelet project is beautiful with lots of nice components she supplied.

Michele Muska. Oh what a lovely surprise she was.

I made the ladies a little mix {tape} as a gift...

The plan is to hold second annual Spellbound Event November 2013.

Chances are quite good I will not be able to resist...

Unpacking

Back.

Back from the busy last few weeks.

Time to unfurl.

Meanwhile my husband brought home this cabinet which is wonderful but my little world is in a state of chaos.

 Good chaos...

So much to tell about Glitter Market, Kaua'i and Spellbound.

But first I must clear the clutter and then I can think.

Packing

So much packing. Packing for Glitter Market.

Packing for my husband's birthday vacation.

Now packing for Spellbound.

 

Good things, all.
