We had a magical night at the Curious Sofa. Or Fofa as Carol and I called it after a funny typo. Well, maybe you had to be there, but it struck my funny bone.
Maybe I found it so funny because at the C. Sofa, every detail is pure perfection.
Deb is extraordinarily talented in the art of display, and there is never a mistake of any kind allowed on her property!
Even things that seem to be imperfect, are NOT. They are either made to look distressed or actually aged to perfection and chosen for that quality like the paneling in this powder room.
Pearl was hard at work greeting everyone at the entrance that was flanked by stacks of firewood. Who knew I was so trendy, I have firewood stacked in my breezeway by the door too! If Deb is doing it, it must be COOL to do!!
We had a fun group, and sat in the rustic cabin display and chatted after exploring the store. Here is Beth, Carol, Gwen and I from left to right. Gwen had recently returned from a buying trip in France and we were drooling as she was telling us all of the details about the trip.
By the way, if you will be at vendor night at Silver Bella, Gwen will have fresh off the boat, French ephemera for sale. Please do me a favor and say "Bon" to Gwen. I promise, she will laugh….
Plus, she has GREAT stuff and you’ll be glad you dropped by to shop! I put in a pre-order for 20 bucks worth of old French postcards. I wanted to be first in line!! 
And here is the Queen of Styling, Deb. What a great hat!
This is something I fell in love with! I’m jonesing for that crown.
This big headed girl caught my eye too. I didn’t buy her though, but am kind of wishing I had, now. I got a few trinkets and will show photos of them after I recharge my camera battery.
Notice the books wrapped in old papers? And the fabulous colors of pearls? There is never a jarring note in that store, every inch is coordinated and well thought out.
Deb is an expert at sticking to her palette. She adds hints of color here and there, but it is always faded to a remnant of its original shade.
And there were sparkly things everywhere!
I don’t know what kind of glitter went on these roses to make them look like they were kissed by an early frost, but I want a jar of it. A BIG jar.
Don’t you wish you could pull up a chair to this table for a dinner party? Well, I did, but only because Carol dared me to. I didn’t mess anything up, I just sat and ate my dinner and felt pretty pampered while doing it! All chairs should have angel wings like these do!
And what a dinner it was!!!!! Champagne with Dean and Deluca catered deliciousness.
I tried to not make a pig of myself, (remember I was complaining about the 10 lbs I put on?). But honestly, LOOK at these platters. I had to have some of each.
But this platter is the one that got my heart racing (and not just from high fat treats, but from the beauty of it!). If I only had that Cannon Rebel camera that I wanted so bad, you could see the detail of this. The pink bon bons are covered in glitter. Yes, glitter. The Real Deal. Edible glitter that looks like GLITTER not sugar, because it really really is real glitter!!!!!!!!
Does it show up any better in this picture? I swear, the stuff is magical pixie dust, not just sugar. It is sheer, fine, holographic and as beautiful as the stuff Martha Stewart sells to craft with. 
Sugarwings and I were on a quest to find the stuff today and Dean and Deluca sent us to this cute little bakery where they sold us some magic pixie dust of our own!
Everything in there looked tasty and rich. Sugarwings was convinced these goodies were snowmen. I tried to tell her that they were tuxedos, but I don’t think she gets the concept of what a tuxedo is.
I am so thrilled to find this pretty glitter, and can’t wait to start sprinkling it around! I have big plans for frosting the rims of the glasses we will serve the Glitter Tinis in at our Glitter Lounge in Omaha! My roomie, Carol and I are having a mini kick off to Silver Bella before the group craft night starts and I think that I will have to sprinkle the magic fairy dust on the Godiva chocolates too.
I will be using this stuff everywhere! Heck, I always have glitter in my hair, on my face, all over my house, grandchild, dog, and husband. I might as well have it in my food too. And on purpose!
Thanks, Deb for such a fun party last night. And for feeding me glitter cakes and starting a whole new obsession for me!
I think that what ever my giveaway for November will be, I will add some pixie dust for the winner to sprinkle onto some of her own holdiay goodies too. Don’t forget, there is a giveaway going on. I know, lets call it a secret surprise goodie bag giveaway! You won’t know what it is until you get it in the mail! But I can guarentee, it will be sparkly.
oh goodie!! Being first in line for your giveaway means good things right.lol. I cant believe there is Edible glitter, how great is that!!! My daughter and I went to Saphora today and came out with glitter all over us…started with glittery eyeshadow and then on the cheeks, lips , had to try some on the back of our hands, by the time we were done, it we were hysterical!!!Laurie
you know I just love those glitter houses! And that rose is beautiful! I hope you find out what was used on that! The yummy glitter sounds fantastic too! The store is beautiful and I just love that table display too.
PS
I noticed glitter on my husbands face tonight and I didn’t tell him.. I think he went to work with it on!
Wow…I’d LOVE to spend time in the Curious Sofa…what a fantastic shop! Counting the hours until Glitter Lounge AND Silver Bella!
XOXO,
Cheryl
What a super fun extravaganza! I’m loving the whole snow-indoors theme in the photos!
Oh my goodness. Those photos are amazing. That picture is gorgeous. It sounds like you had a lot of fun! You are right, from what I see in these photos Deb has a knack for perfection. I wish I could see everything in person. Every detail I am sure is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos!
Hi Karla, such glittery gorgousness!!(Is that a word?)I would have loved to have been a guest at the party, it looked such a fun night! Suzanne:)
Oh I sooo want to have played at that party…edible glitter…how deliciously perfect!! Thanks for sharing all those wonderful pictures, perfect for drooling!

I follow Creative Sofa’s blogs and LOVE the pics. I can only imagine the sensation of being there in person. Love all the items you showed here. I like the idea that you had of Sugarwings singing in Fairy language. That is so cute. It is so true that just a few recognizable words come out–at least when my little fairy sings.
Oh my….oh where do I start. All too perfect – angel wings on chairs, fairy dust on cakes. It all looks so delectible.
Looks like you had a fabulous night Karla.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
Oh so lovely. What fun pictures of a wonderful time you all had. And discovering edible glitter – it’s like the icing on the cake – no, like the glitter on the cake!
Lorrie
