"Ribbon Update"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will be selling our seam binding ribbon at various
shows and have been packaging ribbon bundles like
crazy! I didn't like how the ribbon would crease on the
cards so I came up with a new way to package them
in bundles. The pictures below show how I'm wrapping the
ribbons now along with a new card that I wrap
around them. Please note that all ribbon orders will come
packaged in these bundles even though the pictures on the
ribbon page show them still on the cards. It will take
me awhile to get all the new pictures taken of all the different
colors but we are working on it!!
We are happy to announce
that we are lowering the ribbon prices also!!
The new prices are :
5 Yard Bundle...........$2.00
25 Yard Bundle...........$7.00
100 Yard Spool..........$16.00
New wrapped bundles of seam binding.
Colors shown are: Siam Pink, Moss Green and Winter White.

WE'RE BACK!!! Yes, I'm back
from the Brimfield, MA. flea market
that was held last week. We had a great
time and one of the things I love the
most about going up to Massachusetts
is the drive, it's such a beautiful drive.
I have included some photos of our trip
below and I will be back a little later
to list more sneaky peeks of items that
we are going to be listing today.
I'm so sorry about some of the pictures
turning out a bit blurry, I didn't notice
I had my camera on the wrong setting,
I was just to excited!! :) Ohhh, we
have alot of treasures to list so we will
be doing that over the next few days.
We have been cleaning up, painting
and hitting things with the fairy stick
for the past few days!!
Be sure and check back soon!
These are pictures of the beautiful
highway going through Connecticut.
As you can imagine, I spent a long,
LONG time in this fantastic ribbon
booth, she had the most amazing things.
I brought home a stash of gorgeous
ribbons and flowers to adorn some
of the treasures I will be listing later!!
Check out those itty bitty basket
pincushions on the right hand corner,
they are carved out of walnut shells!!
This shabby booth with all it's beautiful
furniture was one of my favorites!
Wonderful vintage bottles but most
were priced over $50.00... OOUCHH!!
Moving along, moving along......................
The lady that owns this booth is
SERIOUS about buttons, no kidding!! :)
I hope you enjoyed these snap shots
of some of the booths at the Brimfield
show. I will be back later with some
treasures that we found
to offer here in the shop.

"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY"
I wish a very special day for each and every one of you!
Saturday, May 10th, 2008
Oh my, I'm so sorry for being away so long. I have
been super swamped with working on orders and
getting packages together for shipping.
I can't believe how quickly time flies!
I'm getting really excited because there is only 4
days left before we leave on our buying, road trip to the
Brimfield Flea Market in MA!! I will be taking my
camera with me so that I can show you
all lots of pictures of our trip there.
The town of Brimfield, MA. is transformed into a
huge flea market, with over 5,000 vendors!
I have been working on a new fluffier cupcake design.
I wasn't really happy with the way they looked
before. I wanted them to be fuller, like real cupcakes!!
So, I bought a new pastry tip and wow, what a
difference it makes! I love how the new cupcakes look now.
Look at those nice fluffy buttercream swirls,
then sprinkled with a sparkly,
sugary fairy dust of course!
The small, sad pastry tip on the right is the old tip I was
using when I made the cupcakes and the new whopping
big bad baby on the left is
the one I use now!!! LOVE IT!
For those of you who have
ordered cupcakes within the
past week, don't worry, your cupcakes
will be frosted with the new bad baby tip!!
A special note to "Melrose Vintage"..........
I received your email but when I went to send you a
reply, it came back as non-deliverable. Can you
please email me again and give me your
correct email address. Thanks a bunch!
I was having trouble with
my mailbox for some strange
reason so if any of you have sent me an email and
I haven't responded yet,
chances are I didn't get your
email so please, pretty please,
re-send it to me. I always
respond to every email letter
I get, it may not be right
away but I do respond to all of them so if you
didn't get one from me, please re-send!!!
The new items up there will be listed tonight. Eric
helps me out by doing all the listing of the new items
after I have taken the pictures, crop them, send them
to his email address and then add them here on the
homepage as sneaky peeks!! So he will get
those listed tonight, he promises!! :)
Well, that's it for today folks!
I won't be gone as long next time!
Glittery hugs and sugary kisses to you all,
xoxo...........Catherine

***WINNER***
We picked a name for our monthly drawing prize and the winner is...........
"Tiffany Allen"
Congratulations Tiffany, I will email you to give you the full details!!!
Good morning sweet friends. Yes, today is May 1st....can you believe it?! Only a month
and a half left in the school year, it's hard to believe that summer is almost here.
While on my morning outing to take Victoria to
school, I was in awe at all the greenery around me!!
No more bare trees, they all have their beautiful new foliage and it makes me so happy
to look at it. I have to tell you, I have never seen green like this in my life.
The greenery on the east coast is amazing and brilliant.
You all know what today is right? Yes, it's the first of the month and that means
we get to pick a winner for the monthly drawing prize!! I'm going to wait until Victoria
gets out of school today so that she can pick the name out of the bowl
and I will be back here to announce the winner later today.
WOW.....I have to tell you what my sweet dear friend Andrea did.......she posted
about me and my creations on her blog yesterday and it's beautiful,
I was so excited!! Go take a peek at her blog:
(Andrea took this picture of the lollipop container I made for
her, it's much better than the one I have so I'm using it!!!)
I was overwhelmed by the response I received yesterday from her readers that saw
her post. Thank you again girlfriend......you are just too kind and generous!! I LOVE YA!!!
Okay, now that I'm all teary eyed, I will be back later with the drawing winner name
and we will be posting some new treasures either tonight or tomorrow. I was wanting
to get them on today but I have some orders that I'm getting packaged and shipped
out today so if I have time later, I will post those
new things tonight, if not, by tomorrow for sure!!
Til' next time....sweet glittery hugs to you all.
xoxo.... Catherine |
