It's very exciting!

At the moment I feel that I don't spend enough time on my blog.....FB is been so crazy....posting, answering messages and pinterest the same!

I love it!

but where did I start? FB? no! Pinterest? no!

www.blogger.com? yes!

I will never forget my first post February 19th, 2009

it took me 5 hours to finally publish my first post.

and I do feel guilty not to be able to post more for all my blogger friends...

especially now getting ready for the show...

today I had lunch with friends and we talked and talked about the show. So many ideas.....

and I made bread

 We always choose a theme for our event and this March is "Vintage Garden" so today I planted flowers in a couple of vintage buckets.

more to come

DREAM big!

You would think since I fly back to Sicily every couple of years I am a traveler. But I am not. I love to be close to home.
 I was asked to teach the Vintage Sign class in Arizona and I had the best time ever!

Thank you to Melrose Vintage and all the students that made these two days so special.
I will be back to teach again soon.

Vintage Suitcases on the way to Melrose

Callie really wants to go!
I had fun packing for the trip to Phoenix. I like to be practical and cute at the same time. I love my Vintage Suitcases. I wanted to be able to get to Melrose Vintage and have all the charms ready to display.
This blue small suitcase was so dirty inside that I had to take the fabric out and paint it. I added a rod and made hooks to hang each bubble. On the last picture you can see that I also added a white velvet pillow to display more charms.

If you are in the Phoenix area
We would love to see you!

My SIL Christie Repasy will be teaching two rose painting classes.

Ciao for now Rita

...more photos from the soldering class

I had the pleasure to have Cynthia Shaffer in class. Cynthia is a quilter, photographer, artist. She also teaches photography classes if you are interested. I took her class and it was a huge change in the way I take photos now. So here are few more photos taken by Cynthia during class.

Ciao for now
