The April Showers bring May Flowers sale is still going on in the Boutique and Etsy. I've added a few more packs of millinery flowers, and you'll get free shipping for the month of May for all flowers (USA only, sorry)
For the boutique, pay as usual, and I'll send a refund. For Etsy shipping is already marked free.
I've also been busy packing some up to sell at Paper Cowgirls next month. Lisa and I are sharing one table, so I'm trying to be smart about my space and what I'm packing to take along. Beth is good at figuring what items pack the most punch for the space they take up and I'm listening to her advice.
I tend to think that I can just take it all, and that isn't so smart. So this trip, I am trying to FOCUS on a few items that look well together, pack easily, and are affordable, but still worth my time to take.
This is my first Paper Cowgirls event, but Lisa has given me some tips on what the shoppers might like on vendor night too.
Here's what I have so far, some little Charlotte dolls (I have a few hundred more ordered, I hope I get them in time. If not, it will be a small basketful tagging along on this trip)
Lately I've been experimenting with paper clay fairies too, so I might bring those. On the other hand, they might be too hard to pack, since they are fragile… I'll only have one tub to fill, Beth and I are driving and neither of us have a big car. I have all the kits for my class that I need to take too. Beth is vending and will have a full table to fill, so space is limited.
And I think that some of my class kits for making dress forms is a good idea.
(by the way, I am making up extras to sell in the Boutique too. Along with an online tutorial.) I'll let you know when I have them ready to go.
Yesterday I made up some foofed journals to take along to sell. This one is an old diary, with a locking clasp.
These two are tiny little bank books I've given make overs to.
I'll probably have room for a few more little books. I wonder if that is a good idea? Any of it is a gamble, you just never know any time you plan to sell things.
But I'm going for the pure joy of being there, I've heard such wonderful things about Paper Cowgirls. Anything I sell is just icing on the cake!
We are over 80 participants in the Birdsong tag book swap, but I've got room for more. If you want to join us, details are in my blog post about it. You can get there by clicking on the button on my sidebar.
Hope to hear from you!
You and Beth will have a ball at Paper Cowgirls! Be sure to take us along with you and bring back lots of photos!!
Cheers,
Kathy
Karla ~ A road trip with 2 BFFs, that in itself sounds like a recipe for fun!! And then to be going to Paper Cowgirls—and get to meet new friends—and see old friends—and get to sell “stuff”—WOW!!!
Can’t wait to see all the pictures and hear all about everything.

Lovely books.

Ohhhhh wish I lived closer so I could attend Paper Cowgirls, sounds like so much fun, not to mention it would be lovely to meet all you talented ladies. Mandy x
The road trip sounds like fun, I wish I was going, too! I hope you each sell it ALL so you can fill the car up with fun stuff you buy there!
Karla,
I love your dress forms. What a great project!
Hugs,

I love your little paper fairy!!!!
HI Karla! What eye candy! Love everything!
Kelly
All good stuff! I love your dress forms, so I am looking forward to seeing them in your boutique. Wish I could go to paper cowgirls and see some of the girls from Birdsong. If I had more money I could just do all the classes. I’m still in limbo with my house. I had one contract but it wasn’t a good offer so we are still waiting to see what happens. Hope you and Beth have a great time. I look forward to seeing your pictures!

Karla,
You go ahead & bring all you want, I got tables & we’ll stack em up to the ceilings! I love everything your bringing & I know the girls will too. It makes me sick I can’t do the tag swap, I’m just doing all I can to get myself to PC. How do you do it?
Lisa
Must get over to your shop and buy some Charlottes. I only have one left, from a lucky sale! I have plans for this summer!
