An Affaire at Tiffany's Part Two

As promised in my last post I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures taken by the amazing and ever-so-talented photographer, Tiffany of The Fancy Farmgirl...

It was mostly "little black dress" night except for Christine and I.  Leave it to us to go with color instead!  Although I do LOVE black.

Me with my some of my favorite gal pals Erin, Andrea, Terry, Denise and Cheryl.

Me and the Fabulous Hostess Miss Kim.

Kim, Jessi, Christine, Me, Jenn and Cynthia

The beautiful Karen who was always dressed to perfection.

Gorgeous Cindy wearing her charming Audrey crown.  What a doll.

Our creative space was gorgeous in colors of aqua and pink.  I felt so much at home!

The best table mates!

The swap exchanges were a blast! I participated in the necklace swap which was hosted by the darling Rochelle. 

My sweet and elegant friend Joy

I also participated in a paper doll exhange!

Darling Sherry was the hostess of the exchange.

The classes were amazing....

A delightful mixed media collage class taught by Jeanne Oliver.

A stunning necklace taught by Lonnie Jenk.

I LOVED this mini chandelier class taught by my friend Kecia!

And lastly, a charming book taught by sweet Laura.

Our days and nights were filled with so much fun and laughter.  I do believe this was the best event yet!

On our last evening together we had a pajama party.  Just look at this gorgeous candy bar filled with sweet treats 

There was even a big fluffy bed for fun photo taking!

Kim and Tiffany!

Happy girls on the bus, which took us on amazing excursion around L.A., Long Beach and down to San Diego for great vintage shopping!

We all had the best time... an unforgettable weekend that will be treasured forever.

Have a super week ahead Everyone!

An Affaire at Tiffany's Part One

~ Little black dresses, Tiffany blue and rhinestones galore made for a beautiful evening ~

It was a perfect long-weekend filled with such joy and creative energy!

I was delighted to spend time with all my dear friends and meet new ones.  That's the special thing about these events... it's like the best of a high school reunion!

Everything was exquisitely decorated by Kim.  She has such a knack to make everything gorgeous!

The days were filled with amazing art projects and lots of laughter and chit-chat!

I just love these girls!  

We even got to put our toes in the sand! 

So here are just a few highlights.  I'm waiting for the uber talented Tiffany Kurchner of The Fancy Farmgirl to upload all the pictures she took throughout the event.  She was our amazing photographer, always around every corner with such enthusiasm and sweetness.  I'll be sharing more of her photos on my next post.

I hope you're all having a wonderful week!

Cheers,

Holly

The Whimsical Garden and Mes Amis Vintage Antiques Show

I have just returned from spending several days in Northern California visiting friends and my folks.  I started off in San Francisco and enjoyed time with my dear friend who I hadn't seen in many years.  Then I spent the remainder of my visit in Auburn, CA.

 

I always love going home! My folks have been very busy in their garden, much more than usual because they have an exciting event coming up!  They are going to be part of the Placer County UCCE Master Gardeners 

Mother’s Day Garden Tour!  If you live in the area, I'm told this is a must-do!  Here is the link for more info. 

And here are just a few pictures of a couple areas in their backyard. 

I'll show more next month after the event!

I also designed an apron for my mom to wear for the day of her event.  So if you happen to go, look for the pretty lady in the apron!

She was very happy and looks adorable in it!

Mom and I hit the ground running and got our pedicures, visited Old Town Folsom and lots of other stores but I was most excited to go to Hobby Lobby!  We don't have any in Los Angeles so this was a real treat!  Aisles and aisles of inspiration and goodies for every artist!  I found all kinds of supplies for my upcoming visual journaling class at Whimsy in July.

Saturday we visited Sandy's Mes Amis Vintage Antiques Show in Roseville, my hometown.  It was a gorgeous very HOT day.  We had so much fun. Visit Sandy's blog here.

Eye candy for days!

I never miss an opportunity to see Sandy when I'm in town! She's such a doll. 

This was one of my favorite vendors! Lipstick Gypsy!  A darling pink trailer filled with fabulous pieces.

Gorgeous silk brooches

Shimmering starfish

Neck adornments

I bought the gorgeous choker at the bottom left.

More of Lipstick Gypsy

Just adorable huh?

This picture of me with my Mom taken by Marsha! Thanks Marsha!

A pretty mini vanity

Every area was filled with so many great finds

It was so great to finally meet Marsha in person after being blog friends for so long!  

And lastly, LuLu I took this one for you! I love his pretty collar, don't you?

Bye for now!

Spring Zing!

An Affaire at Tiffany's is under 3 weeks away! I made this fabric book/folder to donate for Kim to raffle off!  

It can hold treasured pictures and postcards from the event!

***

Last Saturday was our long anticipated round robin altered book exchange!  We all went out to breakfast and then over to Kim's house to be her "Tiffany's team" for the day and help with prep stuff for the event.  

Here we are with our gorgeous books that have been passed around since last summer.  

I'll share more on my darling book in an upcoming post!

~ Kim, Andrea, Me, Terry and Cheryl ~

Erin and Cynthia were not here for the picture.

And more visual journaling! My date is set and I'll be teaching at Whimsy on July 7th.

Living in Cheersville... never a dull moment!

Happy Days!
