While I've been busy gathering goods up for Miss Frenchie's sale this weekend, I've taken a break to package up some of that great wallpaper I told you about.
I just loved playing with all the pretty papers and making packages for you to use! I package them in a few different ways, one is all coordinated, another is a varied selection. Also, I try to make varied sizes, some jam packed and others a bit smaller, to fit all budgets.
You can find them in my Boutique, and it looks like they are already selling before I've even had a chance to tell you about them! Thanks, guys, its good to see that I'm not alone in my wallpaper love!
Also, just wanted to let you know that there are only a few Crystal Crown Rings left. I'd better slip in and get one for myself before they are all gone!
The trees are re-stocked in my Etsy shop too. Why do I have the trees in a different shop? Laziness. I sold them there last year, so now, I just have to renew the old listing, not take all new photos and relist. Simple and quick.
Well, the bleaching, dying, gluing, glittering, packaging part isn't quick, but the listing is, and I'll take any little bit of help I can get!
Sugarwing's Daddy helped me cut wallpaper. He's the sensitive, artist type and is always happy to help in the studio when I need him. I was freaking out about my major budget blow out on all the paper I'd bought and how little time I had to get it packaged, with Miss Frenchie's sale looming. So, he jumped in and started chopping.
We sliced two sizes, 8 x 10 and 11 x 14. But, I don't have the clear envelopes to fit the larger sizes!! Someday, I'll have a chance to sit at the computer and look up glycine sleeves and get some ordered, then will list the bigger pieces. Sorry! They are sitting here waiting for me to make time.
Twinkle is wondering when I'll have time to spend with her too. As excited as I am to be going to Miss Frenchie's and as lucky as I am to be included on such a FANTASTIC, premier sale, I'm getting tired! I'm ready to kick back with Christmas music on the stereo, a frosty glass of egg nog in my hand, and the Christmas tree twinkling in the dark. Don't you love evenings by the light of a Christmas tree? Especially if there is a fire lit.
And we always have a fire lit, we heat our house mostly with wood. Now, I just need the tree and the time to set it up and enjoy it!
This is why I am slightly exhausted. I'm setting up my "trial run" for Miss Frenchie's, and getting it planned, tagged and packed.
I'll leave you with some scenes of my table. I'm heading over to it to pack it up and get it ready to load in the big red pick up truck on Thursday.

Your son is quite the handsome young man! Those eyes are beautiful! Oh Karla!! I have been seeing your pretty koolaid dyed Christmas trees over on etsy and think of you everytime I see them. I still haven’t gotten around to doing mine. I love all of those wallpaper packs and all of your goodies for Miss Frenchies!! You should be tired! You’ve been a very busy lady!

I wish I was going to Miss Frenchies wow !
Oh, Karla! Thanks so much for sharing it all with us who are too far to come and join in the fun! So nice to have a helper in Sugarwings Daddy … an extra pair of hands can make SUCH a DIFFERENCE!
You done good, girl! Everything looks FAB-U-LOUS!!
Hugs and have a super week …. THEN the egg nog by the twinkly lights!
Betty 🙂
Be happy even as your loading up for Thursday and happy December 1st Karla.
Congratulations on getting your shop updated! It is clear from the pictures how much fun you have preparing each piece.
Good luck finding the glycine sleeves you need. A quick Google search showed me I did not know what I was looking for enough to help.
The rose-softened picture of Twinkle is adorable! That is a keeper, for sure. Maybe as an ornament for your twinkling tree?
An extra * HUG * for good luck to get Miss Frenchie’s preparations finished on time. Hope you have even more fun this year. You have a good smile going in that third-to-last picture!
Karla, thanks for sharing the pics of your set-up for the show. I have only sold my wares at three shows, and they were sooo difficult for me. Now I know why….I just started packing stuff, without doing a practice set-up like you have done. Live and learn! Good luck at Miss Frenchie’s!
Everything looks great! I wish I could come shop! I love the pics of Twinkles and your son! Hugs! karen…
Everything looks so wonderful for Miss Frenchie’s!
Tired? You must be running purely on adrenaline! But everything looks fabulous. I just commented to Beth that I’m pouting — I want to go to Miss Frenchy’s!
Karla, this won’t help you this year, but it is a though for next year. For the 11X14 sheets why not save your papertowel rolls when the towels are gone. They can pick out X sheets for $X and you can roll them and put them through the papertowel roll. Just a thought.
OH.. Karla..your post are always so inspiring. I dont know how the heck you get it all done!
Man oh man sugarwings looks like her daddy:)
It’s funny this whole blog world. We have never met but I thought about you when I was on vacation and came across a “Fairy Garden” at one of the shops I was at in Cambria California. They had the cutest little playhouse made of chicken wire and wood beams. Inside was a little peoples park bench and a tea tray set up. All around was green and flowery. I thought your granddaughter would be in heaven!!
Hi KArla
