We've gotten the nicest gifts for Birdsong! Hope made these felted nests with sparkling, sugared birds and even included bags of mica flakes for everyone too.
Karen sent this lushly embellished train case for a door prize.
Not only is it made with sweet birdie details, she has also filled it up with "tweets" too.
In the box were some birdie beverage napkins to use for our weekend, and a big ass bag of candy.
Sadly, it came a week before the party, so the bag isn't quite as full
as it was when it arrived, and my ass is the big one now.
Terri has sent these ephemera packs, and I spy a bird theme in the packages.
Look at the sweet details she added to the label! A touch of glitter is an elegant touch.
I've
been whipping up more samples for my class, because these three were
shipped off to Jewelry Affaire. I was very pleased to share our
Birdsong weekend project with Somerset.When the magazine comes out in
October, it will be fun to reminisce while looking at the photos.
Our
party starts soon, I'm all tingly just thinking about it. This year,
I've promised myself to be done and ready plenty early. I want to relax
and enjoy my family and friend's visits. We are doing a dinner party on
Thursday night and calling it "Birdsong Eve". There are 26 of us
meeting at a restaurant downtown to kick off the weekend.
I'll
be preposting to my blog, but will not be checking emails much, so
please forgive me for not answering comments. I'll be back next week
with pictures of our gathering.
All of these projects and prizes look dreamy! Sending you wishes for a lovely event!
Everything looks so beautiful ! I SO wish I was able to be part of your “Birdsong” weekend. I really would just love to do something like that some day . Have a great time ! .- Sue
I confess, Karla, every time I look at a Birdsong post I feel a wee pang of envy, knowing that I’ll not be among your guests and another, knowing I could never pull off such a splendid event as you are creating. Four star all the way around!
swooning and green with envy about all the fun i will miss out on…
I sure hope a Birdsong 4 in in the future!! Wishing I could be there for this one, and wishing you all a wonderful, crafty, love-and-laugh-filled weekend! (my daughter gets to Lawrence on the 17th for freshman orientation. Shall i have her stop by for any leftover candy from that big ass bag?? :-))
HAVE FUN!!
What a treasure trove of eye candy you have posted! I HAVE to get out there & attend one of your artsy weekends or I might die:) The look of the whole event seems whimsical & decadent! Enjoy every moment, as I know you will. So glad the sisters are there to join in. Am guessing Bobbie will be utilizing her fancy camera lots. Look forward to all of your posts. Luv, your “groupie” Cousin Paula
Relax and enjoy your event, I look forward to the after posts!
It all looks WONDERFUL!!! Attending one of your fetes is on my Bucket List!!
Hope you, and all the attendees have an absolutely fantastical time!
