Well, it is almost 2am as I write this, the night before my trip. Did I mention I hadn’t packed yet?
I had Sugarwings most of the day and got a little bit behind. I am a deep sleeper and can sleep anywhere, so will catch up on sleep tomorrow on the plane and do the dishes, pack and mail my quartely taxes tonight. Or is is already tomorrow?!
If I am doing this correctly, this post should publish on Sunday the 27th while I am at Karlapalooza (explanation in the previous post! But warning, it is a long one)
So, it should be safe to show you the gifts I am taking to my blog friends, this won’t post until after we are busily shopping. I hope to be buying lots of old millinery flowers then!
I’ve promised Lori that I will find one for her, I don’t want to break my word!
This tussie mussie is for Lori in the theme of her blog, Faerie Window.
This is for Heather at Pretty Petals.
And a birdie for Kitty at Reflections from the Stone Nest.
With gathering up little treats to fill the tussies, I feel like Santa loading stockings!
Each cone will get:
a bag of berry candy, and some chocolate
rick rack
bath salts
white buttons
a vintage bridge talley card
and a bundle of odds and ends- millinery flowers, a blue bird feather, and some other little cute things
Since Heather is inviting us to her home for a picnic afterwords, I am bringing her a hostess treat, a tiny book that I made.
And Lori is driving quite a bit to come for the day, so I wrapped up a few little vintage photos for her as a thank you, too. I’ve heard her mention on her blog that she loves old pictures.
Hopefully, my next post will be full of my fab finds from the flea market! And hopefully, this posts correctly on Sunday!
I think I lost one post I did ahead of time, either that or I have no idea what I am doing, and I rewrote and reposted it and you’ll get the same thing twice.
oops.
These are so darling! Your buddies are lucky ladies!
It worked! Doesn’t that feel like a great accomplishment when you conquer something involving technology like that? It does for me. Love the treats, lucky girls! You know you are going to have us all wanting to come along!
Oh wow!! What a wonderful wonderful thing to have an amazing gift for all the girls and to be flying on a plane to meet up and go shopping and to picnic at Heathers!! So envious but am eager to hear all about it! If nice things happen to people who do nice things, something wonderful is bound to come your way soon!! Kiss noises Linda Lilly Cottage
What sweet gifties. They’re gonna love ’em.
Happy Karlapalooza!

Your little gifts are just SO lovely! I’m only a little bit jealous ;)! You have wonderful artistic talent, something I’d like to develop more of in myself. I just need to pick up my stash of supplies again!
