I'm back!





I just wanted to take a moment and Thank you all for the most successful Open house...
we have EVER had!
I am humbled and honored that you all support us and  our efforts.
You have blessed us by your coming from all over...Several of you made the trip from out of state!
Please know How much your coming meant to each and every one of us!

I am still planning on taking a few days to get all of the photos loaded on the Horton's blog and then back to work...
We need to reorder so many things...
but I am thinking we might get some things in you haven't seen yet!
The store might undergo a slight change due to the merchandise that we will be able to get.
I still have a few things I was working on here in my studio...I will try to get them done in time for next weekends Free Saturday Seminar...we will see!

I did want to share a few of things I did get finished and into the store
I will post more later this week!
I should warn you though...Almost all of these things are gone!

Let's start in Madame Fifi's...


this is the lace umbrella I made using old lace pieces...In alot of places it is hand sewn...It took a little while to get it finished. But...Fifi loves it so!
At present...It is still available...Contact the store(email me) and we will tell you the price.
And YES! we will ship it to you!



Here are a few of the pillows in Madame fifi's




the paper cones made from book pages...
are tucked here and there.

I also made paper garlands from book pages and wishing wands as well!( I can't find a photo!...ugh!)

And so many other things I can't wait to share with you!
you can just catch the bottom of the word garland! sorry!

everyone keeps asking me to see a photo...so...Look really fast...this is a rare shot

I was getting tired and caught in a weak moment!

My Mr. Bill...He was our Photographer Saturday Morning.
Okay...So I'm off to the store...
Have a blessed Sunday everyone and I will have more later this week!


Don't forget to stop by my OTHER blog
(just click above)
to see  the photos I've been collecting  from around the store.
