Tinsel Trading Company and Halloween Freebies!

Hello Friends!

Well, my search for fall color was apparently a few days too late,
and I MISSED the New England peak foliage.  :(

I did console myself with a trip to Tinsel Trading Company, though.  :)
Let's do a little window shopping:

 

 

 

 

 

Oooh, let's go inside:

Inside this cabinet are very vintage trims:

And there really are boxes and boxes on the floor in the back of the store

of very vintage trims just waiting to be unpacked and displayed.

 I am always mad at myself when I get home for not buying more when I had the chance!

Especially since our hotel was literally a half block away!

 

Here's a little giftie I made for my friend Rosa:

 

and some Halloween freebies:

Autumn Leaves, Tiny Dancer Cake Box, and Freebies!

Hello Friends!

It's Autumn!!
Does it look like this where you live?

 

 

Yeah, me neither.

 

It's been a long, hot summer and I look forward to

a crisp, cool nip in the air. 

But leaves changing color is just not going to happen here in San Diego,

I will have to seek them elsewhere.

 

Our swap for the September Paper Soiree

was decorated cake boxes, and of course

I was all over that, I just love making these little boxes!!

 

 

And it gave me a chance to use some craft supplies

that I love, like the ballerina, the circle of pearls,

and those tattered roses by the yard

that are so cool, but don't always fit in with my projects.

 

 

So, let's continue the ballerina theme with some freebies:
