Vignettes Summer Fete

Hello Friends!



Yes, I admit it, I took last week off, played hooky, lazed around...
But I've been taking my responsibilities as kitty care-giver very seriously...
It's a full time job just trying to keep up with her...
Or at least trying to find her latest sleeping places :)

Oh well, I guess at 21 (102 in cat years) it's respectable to sleep 23 hours a day!
And anywhere you happen to find yourself!

I am so behind with pics and freebies;
right now I would like to share with you the photos from
Vignette's fabulous Seaside Summer Fete!
Heather Bullard was there
signing copies of her new magazine, Souvenir.
 
The name Vignettes truly describes this store,
as everything is so beautifully displayed in vignettes throughout the store. 
For this fete the store was decked out in coastal/boho/shabby/french chic!  :)
Roll camera:





Oooh.....





Aaaah...



 
 
And it was at this point that the battery in my camera was "exhausted".
I did take some pictures with my phone which I have not downloaded yet,
I will do that next week and if "blog-worthy", I will post them :)

It was truly a lovely day which I got to share with my BFF Brenda,
who was visiting in San Diego from Tucson that weekend.
Hopefully the lovely times we had together
will spur a return visit soon!
 
Freebies!!
Ooh, and I've got some good ones!!

Vintage Marketplace and Freebies!

Hello Friends!


Southern California has been very inspiring this month.
June in San Diego is typically grey and overcast
(I know! Who would have thought!),
but Vintage Marketplace and Vignettes
were here to save the day!!

I shall have to tempt you with the promise to post my
Vignettes Summer Soiree pictures next week.

But, as promised, here are the pictures
of my "haul" from Vintage Marketplace:
 

 

fabulous doll earring stand by Lisa Loria,
which I've lusted after for quite awhile,
but this petite version
was just too too darling to pass up!
 
Wonderful printed hankies ($1!)
from which to make my pincushions...
Cute little vintage perfume bottles,
FAB paper roses!


I've been working on swaps for my MAMA group
and Heather's Birthday matchbox swap,
and will be posting pictures soon.

Hope you are all getting a good start on Summer.
Graduations, Weddings, Father's Day...
Summer vacation...

Life is good.
Cherish it.

I'll be back next week with pictures
from Vignettes' fabulous Seaside Summer Fete!!
 


And an update about our new swap group at Paper Tales!
 
Here are a couple of lovely freebies for you:

Vintage Marketplace!!


Hello Friends!

Last week was the fabulous Vintage Marketplace
in Rainbow, CA!
It was a beautiful, sunny day
and the vendors so charmingly displayed their wares.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words,
and since my old nemesis, tendinitis, is acting up,
roll camera! 







Love this huge paper flower:



Big bundles of vintage lace and doilies: 
Blue hydrangeas!!


Love this!

One of my fave vendors, Lisa Loria:



Next time I will show you the lovelies I took home with me!

And, since roses are the flower of the month
some rosy freebies for you:
