Karlapalooza!

By /

Oh my, I just wrote this post and lost it. Now, if it pops back up and I have two similar ones, please forgive me and ignore the extra one until I get a chance to delete it. 

I will be away from my computer for a bit, and am trying to pre-post articles to publish later during the week, but I just might be screwing it all up. 

Fairywindow_heather_041_2 What is Karlapalooza???

It started like this:

Lori Karla, (Faerie Window) saw a comment that Karla Natale (Sugar Bear) left on Heather’s blog (Pretty Petals), saying that she wanted to visit and go to the flea market Heather does so well with.

Lori Karla thought I had left the comment and emailed me saying that if I was going, she was going.

I said, I am in! where are we going?

My husband was travelling to Pittsburg on business, so I am tagging along and meeting up with these blog friends at the flea market!

Fairywindow_heather_004_2 Since we had: Karla Nathan, Karla Natale, and Lori Karla, we started calling our trip, Karlapalooza and changed Heather Kowalski’s name to "Heather Karlaski."

Unfortunately, Sugar Bear Karla can’t come.  But Heather’s mom, Kitty (Reflections from the Stone Nest) can make it.

So, we’ll  have to call her "Kitty Karla."Fairywindow_heather_039_2

These artworks were created by two of my favorite Karlas-

Heather Karlaski did the tussie mussie and Lori Karla made the birdie box and cute tag.

This trip should be such fun!  And there will be photos when I get back, for sure.

While I am away, my husband is taking me out for dinner to celebrate our 23rd anniversary a couple of weeks early.

Bill Clinton’s White House chef is going to be preparing a special meal for the members at Treesdale Country Club, and we are going to go! 

That is the good news, the bad is that I need to buy a dress, urhg. I’d rather spend my Tubing_019_2money at the flea market.

But more good news- my SWEET and handsome and generous and funny husband of almost 23, (almost all great) years, called me to say that his foursome won a golf game today and his prize was $250- which he is giving to me for extra shopping money on the trip! EDIT- I was wrong, my husband didn’t win the golf game, I was a bit surprised that he did.  The prize was from some other part of the meeting!  The golf course they played was Firestone, where a PGA tournament will be next week, so winning on a tough course like that would have been quite remarkable for him!  Anyway- I still get the $250 American Express gift card, so I don’t care where he won it!!

After the Pittsburgh flea market, and big night out, we are driving to Virginia to spend a few days at our apartment there. 

So, I will not be around for a week, I will try to do the pre-post thing, but really, should be packing instead…..

I won’t be able to answer emails or comments, but feel free to leave a comment if you want to enter my two July giveaways. I definitely will enjoy reading all comments later on!

    Karlapalooza is going to be fun! If I’m still in time: enjoy yourself and say Hi to the others from me! I’m looking forward to see the pictures. I like those pictures too, what a good idea to picture some of their beautiful artwork.

    Well that sounds like a wonderful fun week, and your husband is a gem (and a cutie!) to give you his winnings. Have fun, I can’t wait to see what I am going to be green with envy about when you come back and show us what you found:>)

    I wish all the “Karlas” a wonderful time at Karlapalooza. Shop til you drop and find wonderful things while you are there. Just not any hats or jewelry, Karla. I think you have enough. Just kidding.
    And have a lovely anniversary. Eat two desserts.

    Heather invited me – I promise, you can call me Kelley Karla, or Karla Kelley, okay?
    Good thing I found out you’re attending the antique show, if I passed by you by accident – I’d have thought the heat got to me and I was seeing bloggers in person!
