Glitterfest Countdown!

More to do but I am so excited, all the charms are finished. Polishing and small details and I can now concentrate on my woodwork.

I decided to take a break and take a walk.

I purchased this garden box from Sweet Sandra. She is a good friend and also sales at the Chateau de Fleurs.

Missy here is going to lay an egg. She does lay beautiful green (shell) eggs.

Doesn't look green in the photo......


and this is the life of my dogs


The Plumerias are blooming and it smells incredible around the pool.

Another of Sandra creation now sitting on my porch. Check out her blog

Back to work

Getting ready for Glitterfest!

" When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either".

I have no clue what all these items will become at the end, I only know that I see clouds, stars, birds and roses in the making for Glitterfest!
So excited to be part of this incredible show hosted by Whimzy Tustin, Cali.
Few of the Chateau de Fleurs vendors will be selling their special pieces:
Christie Repasy Designs, Lisa Loria, Two Wild Roses, Sweet Magnolias Farm and many more.
10 Days left and I better get busy!

Hope to see you there.

Ciao for now

Chateau de Fleur
Studio and Vintage Market Place!
Day 1

(special chalk drawing by Christie)

It's 7 pm and I am back home from the first day of our Chateau de Fleurs. I am so so tired.......but can't stop looking at my 200 photos of all the wonderful vendors and editing and cropping and...CAN'T STOP! This morning the day started real early at Christie's and it was a little bit cold. Oh wait....here comes the sun! What a beautiful day, we had the misters on to welcome the customers at the gate. We are looking forward for another amazing day tomorrow. I am starting this post with my booth for tonight and I have so many more photos of all the vendors to show you. In the mean time if you can check out the Fan Page on FB for more photos that I will up load soon.


This is my file box # 2. I sold the first one to Lisa Loria and then purchase another one from Mrs. Claus/Lori and re did it for this show. It has 15 drawers, solid wood, in perfect conditions.

The Bubble charms were a HIT today! and I had so many students signing for my soldering classes! 5 Time is a charm class October 16th is almost full. I will plan another class for January. Check back on mercatino for the dates






So many friends stopped by today. Thank you for making the time.....
