Sign us Up and Away.........

Two exciting things to mention! Above photo is story board made by our friend "down South" Liz Demos. She is taking the plunge and doing events and weddings. This story board made us swa-woon with delight! She will have a website up soon for her details on all things good & lovely.

Kara will be seeing her next week as she is taking a trip to see Savannah. Read an old post here on what hilarious Darcy wrote about her. It's been since 2003 that Kara was there so she's looking forward to sa-weet tea! Kara promises everyone waves to anyone down there, truly, really it is so!

Now, TA-DA........
We scouted this event last evening on French General's blog and "whew" this event makes us dizzy just thinking about it! You should see the lineup of instructors: Kaari Meng, Amy Butler,

Wendy Addison, Marcia Ceppos, Charlotte Lyons, Matthew Mead and more. Sign up is September 1st and we truly believe it will be sold out in minutes. We hope we can make this ball of an event.

We have enjoyed working with Kaari, Amy & Wendy, Marcia but the others will be {oh, we hope we can go} new to us. The added benefit is it's in St. Louis and that's only a 5 hour drive from us. Road trip= antiquing on the way, laughs, fun, creativit-y, eating {of course}, coffee and ME studio will be open for tours. How fun is that! OK, girls let's go!

Can't wait! Who plans to go???

Meanwhile, we are plowing through pricing things for the CL fair. Please say a prayer for us; our piles of work are not dwindling very fast. Yesterday Kara was so distracted that she gave her 6 month old a Dum-Dum lollipop instead of her 3.5 year old! True Story. Zach loved it, he had it sucked down to almost nothing. He started squealing because it fell out of his mouth and he couldn't get that sweetness. No wonder he was quiet and happy for 10 minutes! Please don't tell the National Academy of Pediatrics, Kara would be on their billboard in short order on the dangers of giving sugar to babies......... that's all folks!

Have a lovel-y, beautiful weekend gals!

Kara + Darcy

Wintry Ohio day

Even though it was cold outside we hope your hearts were warmed....

Hello,

Here are more pictures from our "creative class".

Darcy is @ store today and I'm home still in my p.j.s replying to our emails and working on a press release for our friend Margo. I really want to get everything accomplished plus go antiquing today, we'll see.

"goodies" to enjoy

I think it's important to show how we use our products
that we sell. Embellishing simple things can turn it into a keepsake.

finished box--- everyone's box turned out
to be their very own work of art!

Wintertime is the season to work on your projects.
Thanks again for attending our class, Darcy & I hope you felt spoiled.
Best,
Kara & Darcy

Pics from "She's Crafty"

Well, we had fun! We scurried around all day Thursday to prep and fluff our studio. We were pleasantly surprised @ our endeavor in organizing this class. The best surprise for us was how unique each individuals main project turned out as each gal received the same components. Darcy and I ended up being even more inspired at how well received the class was. (We promise next time to have more glue stations, grin)

We hope you gals had as much fun as we did!

Best,

Darcy & Kara

{Coming soon--- notice of next class featured on our blog!}
