Happy Sunday!

I spent 2 days in Encinitas at the "Olivenhain Grove Sale".
Beautiful weather, wonderful vendors and friends.

Charm on sale on etsy just in time for La Festa della Mamma

Can you see in the distance? This was Friday morning before opening...it was so exiting for me to see so many familiar faces. I know that few vendors/blogger took photos, so today I just would like to show you some of my favorite things around the
Lemon Grove.



Sara and Abbey, your booth was amazing and your cooler was one of my favorite things

Linda, so nice meeting you, love the test tubes.


SWEET PAM! Love the mug you gave me, I will add some red to it.

want to go for a ride?

Marie, I am not a brown person but this display in your space looked so inviting.

Dyanna, great work. I will see you in June a Le Chateau de Fleurs

Sherley had the most beautiful roses for sale, well made.

Kerri's husband Steve is making wire flower, another of my favorite things.

Christie and I need to find a name when we share the booth, help us out!
"The sisters"? "Lala Sis"?

Jackie came to see us and look what she made me....Jackie I need to take your class of
"Free Stuff". There are so many treasure inside and out. Thank you so so much

Missed taking photos of my favorite new WHITE hair clip flower made by Lisa Loria.
Grazie Principessa!

Taking a brake today, back to work tomorrow. Many, many orders
Arrivederci Rita

  8. I wish with all my heart and soul you would make a video tutorial how how to solder. A begginners video that we could practice with. Please, Please think about it. I have not been able to find anyone in my areas to teach me solder. I did however find a wonderful teacher who will sho me several ways to wire wrap and other beading designs. 35.00 for a 2-3 hour class.not too bad huh. I look forward to you some day making a video of beginners soldering and me buying it.
