 Beautiful day at Whimzy's. Barbara, Cammie, Susan, Marianne and Robin took the Note Book Class. I love all the books.
 Cammie's chose one of her favorite images that she is been saving for a long time. 
 Barbara chose one of the Vintage Postcards purchased at Whimzy's, beautiful work Barbara!
 Marianne, Robin and Susan worked with the Ballerina image.

A while back Raffaele my 16 years old was watching me solder some mini bottles and usually I filled them with glitter and pearls and add a little message. He had an another idea....he said "Mamma, what if you add some colored water and have the pearls and glitter float". I answered "Cute idea Raffaele", time goes by and never did it until today. They are sealed and I Love them! Grazie Raffaele. These two cuties are going to Tustin with me tomorrow I know two wonderful ladies that need some more SPARKLE!

  I finished 2 more signs and wanted to share them before they go to storage.

 I do like to collect soaps and a couple of years ago I purchased few of these jars at Jo-Ann and decided to fill one with soaps. 
Organize with Prettiness




Have a wonderful Weekend
I will be teaching at one of my favorite stores Whimzy!

Note Book Soldering Class

It's Raining in Southern California! This weather is been really crazy.....so today was a day to be crafty!
I am teaching at Whimzy's this Saturday and I spent most of the day making the kits. 
 We are making a Solder Note Book and of course lace, rhinestones and buttons are a must.
 The image that I chose for the class is a Sweet Ballerina that I purchased on etsy, but I will have more images for the students to chose from.

Ciao for now

White Wednesday # 110

A friend invited me to go to Tustin, after the Famiglia's approval I said yes......
Thank you Michelle for inviting me.
We started at Jamestown in Tustin, visited Truly Tattered and Whimzy and
I did buy few small items to refinish and. Then lunch and Country Road. There I saw a bottle carrier that I had to have. That's all I purchased....and in the car Christie told me that it was from Kate's booth. SPECIAL! Kate is One of the kindest lady I ever met and her style is so Delizioso.

Please visit Kate's blog Salvage Dior
I made few changes to the carrirer. It did come with 3 bottles and 2 adorable napkins. I wrapped the carrier with lace and ribbon and tide it with more ribbon. I also made napkins rings out of pearls bracelets. I am planning to ad labels to each bottles, but that's another post. Please stop by Country Roads if you are in Old Orange, Ca. and visit my friends' beautiful spaces.
