Are you tired of my Nesty/Birdy blathering? I tend to be an enthusiastic person and I'm pretty excited that Birdsong is just around the corner! So there will be a few more posts with more stories of Birds coming.
I'm almost ready for it, and am so far right on schedule. So I'm taking Thursday off to head to my favorite flea market with Beth.
Today, I'll pack goodie bags, and finish little odds and ends. Friday is food shopping and cooking.
One of our sponsors is Mary Green, Queen of Ephemera. I asked her if she had any game cards with letters for sale and she showed up with a whole bagful of alphabetical cards and had separated out all the N,E,S, and Ts for me to give to the students to use in their banners.
My plan for the mini vendor night was just to wrap up a few millinery packs to sell. But- once again, I got carried away. Since I had to move so much out of my studio to make room for classes, I decided to use vendor night as a clearance sale so I didn't have to move as much stuff back into the studio again.
Most of it, is stockpiles of things that are waiting to get their photos taken so that I can list them online…. so if they don't sell during our party, I can always add them to the Boutique. Others are things that just need to find new homes, since I am not setting up and doing shows like I used to. I've got lots of less than 1/2 price items to sell, and plenty of $1 things too.
Not to mention those flowers that I originally planned to sell that night. And since that is what I do, I made up way too many packs of flowers. I'm adding all of these to the shop today.
I won't be able to ship anything till after this weekend, which fits right into a special I am going to have. My April Showers Bring May Flowers Sale. Free shipping on all millinery for the month of May, with more flowers being added throughout the month.
Just purchase your posies as usual, and I will refund the postage after packing them up to mail. Sale starts NOW.
I'm off to go and work on adding flowers to the Boutique and fine tune some details for Birdsong. I'll leave you with some pics of Sugarwings hopping down the Bunny Trail on her Easter Egg Hunt last Sunday.
It was too chilly to dress her in a frilly dress, so she is wearing a warm, brown sweater and pants. I called her my little Chocolate Bunny.
I’ve been so impressed with how well you have kept on-schedule. Go, Karla! It’s been fun having you share all the posts about Birdsong, letting us build up excitement with you.
Have fun on Thursday with Beth! Oh, and Sugarwings makes a great chocolate bunny. Please give her an extra snuggle from us!
See you in a few days….I’m all packed. My craft supplies suitcase weighs 26 lbs!!!!!!!

Oh, Karla. i cannot tell you how much I wish i were coming. Especially when I see that some of my favorite people will be there…like the Indiana girls! You are all going to have a wonderful time and next time you have a wonderful weekend, I hope to be part of it. Just know that I am cheering you on because it looks fantastic. I can’t believe Mary Green brought you letters for all your banners. Wow. What a friend. And I love seeing what Beth is doing.
Have a fabulous time! Hope you enjoy it just as much as the others and I hope you will show one of your goody bags, piece by piece, when it is over!!!
Hugs,
Suz
