Winding down


Well, with less than a week OMG till the big event, I'm in ART over-drive!!!
Starting with re-creating the project that began my
 Paper Cowgirl odyssey.
The original went to this cutie.
I think I like them even more the second time around.

Tags ready for vendor night.

The marketing team (me) did a fine job. 
See the little squares above?
They're stickers!
Ages ago I ordered something from Alicia Paulson & she (of course)had the cutest packaging ever. I just loved the sticker with her logo on it, it's still on my inspiration board. 
So I made a mental note that someday.....

They will come in very handy when I start packaging stuff for vendor night
I'm letting go of a portion of my baby shoe collection.
But not these!!
 I found them yesterday when Charlene, Pat & I had girls day out.  You would never believe me if I told you what I stole bought them for.
Okay, I'll tell you cuz I'm not selling them, they are just too cute. $9.95!!!!! 
 I swear I thought it was a mistake, but it wasn't.  Maybe the seller thought they were too beat up to warrant a higher price. To me they are perfection.

Gotta get back to my sewing, packing & stuffing
 I'll see you all on Saturday for Where Bloggers Create!

Amor, or should I call you by my special name for you???? I think it is time we let the world in on the specialness that is you lol "Mia Boss Lady" My boss :) I think everything about this post is just beautiful...you know I have to tell you something, when my friend Joanne passed and then we had Ashley's accident to deal with, I kinda lost my way with everything for a bit, but you know what.....I would look at my treasures....and EGADS, believe it or not, I wasn't getting the joy I used to from just looking at them and thought...maybe I should just let everything go.... well guess what....looking at this post...made me feel that warm tingly feeling inside when you see something beautiful that speaks to you and makes you go ahhhh & I want it, I want it bad & I want it now! lol Thank you Mia Boss lady for reminding me how much you all mean to me and that I wasn't lost...just taking a lil detour through life :) You are such a wonderful friend...thank you for lifting me up when I needed and opening my eyes to so many things...I couldn't or didn't want to see...You, Dawn and others have been my saving grace! Love you bunches & bunches! Besos, Rose :)!!!


ps....No...YOU do the word count...I won! :) I think I deserve a pretty lil left over tag from the Paper Cow Girls retreat ;)

Laura @ 52 FLEA said...

That was some collection of baby shoes....it rivals my own!! lol
Love your stickers and tags! I look forward to visiting your space on Saturday!
Take care, Laura

Sandy Navarro said...

Lisa, I absolutely love your work! How I wish I could be with you, Charlene & Jodie at Paper Cowgirls! Can't wait to see all the FabUlous pictures.

Angela said...

Lisa, It's very much country, small town over here in Greenville...even though we're pretty close to Dallas. There is not much competetion for the good stuff at estate sales and thrift stores. That's great, but there's no place to sell either. I'd like to set up with y'all at Cottage Pananche next time if that would be possible. I'm going to have to get myself out there and find places to sell...'cause I can't stop buying!!

Beth Leintz said...

Love love love your packaging- and I guess I shouldn't be at all surprised by your baby shoe collection because, well, I, uh, know someone else with one, too.

I do sell them off every so often- it seems like its not too hard to replenish- but the high tops are keepers.

Sissie's Shabby Cottage said...

Hi Lisa!
Oh what lovely things you create! And the packaging, tags and stickers.....wow!

What a collection of babyshoes and the new pair that you found are the cutest ever!

I'll take your advice and the next time I go to an estate sell I will definitely head to the garage. I need more funky junky stuff.

hugs
Sissie

Pat @ My Tattered Elegance said...

I believe you do have some shoes, you must gravitate to shoes like I do lace.
Had a wonderful time Tues. Maybe we can do it again soon, just not spend so much.
Hugs, Pat

Simply beautiful!! Where do you get that gorgeous ribbon that is on your tags? Is it seam binding? I've seen it in many projects but can't find it locally.
