We TOTALLY need a little ME in Sarasota right now. Hey Mary!?! How about a sea turtle themed collection of stickers, papers, cards and prints. They could have a “green” ecological message… our little seaturtles could sure use some help and encouragement right about now…

Please tell me that the designs on the birdhouse from Charlotte Lyons class will be on a fabric near me soon. Especially the Glorious, Gorgeous floral riot found on the main part of the house.

Oh what fun we had! And seeing myself loaded down with my newly made treasures to display at the luncheon – what a treat! The best part is being pictured with two new friends. Everyone was so friendly and so talented.

What fun it was to be there…thank you so much. When is Barbara going to get one of those filters on the camera…a haircut and makeup would have helped. At least you can see I was having a ball!

I’m so very impressed by all the creative goodies that the ladies produced at your workshop weekend! I’m not especially “crafty” myself but can do a few things. One of my dearest friends got me to paint furniture and decor items for several fundraisers we hosted for our Boys & Girls Club several years ago. We did an ME planter made from a carpenter’s tool kit. Used black and white checkerboard for the trim and put bunches of cherry stencils all over the place along with polks dots! Yes, it sold at the auction, too! We’ve done this a few times. We have thought about painting more furniture and small pieces. Have to find the time! I’m retired but am a full-time B&G Club board president and am always working to raise more money for our kids! I’d love to hold another “Funky Furniture” auction and paint a bunch of chairs this time! One year we took a broken chair and turned it into a planter and also hand-decorated a modern wooden bar with 2 matching bar stool. It was bought by some very saavy auction patrons who made our day when they put in the winning bid! Our inspirations so often have come from dear Mary! I think my friend and I should try to attend the next workshop weekend. She would absolutely die if she could go! So please do have another one next year!
