Meet My Friend Lisa & Happy Birthday Pat

This is my friend Lisa at the Open House at Collected Treasures. She just opened up her shop & did such an awesome job that I wanted to share a few photos with you. Also, she is new to BLOGGING so I hope all of you will go over to her NEW BLOG http://tarnishedandtattered.blogspot.com/& welcome her to Blogland. She was afraid to start a blog & between myself, Janna, Pat & Dawn Edmondson, we talked her into it. I know I have met some of the most wonderful folks out there through my Blog & I wish her a lot of fun & pleasure from it. She is a busy Momma to 3 year old triplets & she needs some girl friends that share some of her interests.
This is the walls of her new space. She took these wonderful pages out of an old book & put them on the wall. As they dried they were the most wonderful warm honey color. Then she added some tea dyed doilies & other things to add more interest to the walls.
A corner in Lisa's shop.
And here is my friend Pat http://mytatteredelegance.blogspot.com/ with the rose cupcake for her Birthday Celebration. Pat is the sweetie that gave me that wonderful box full of vintage lace & tatting for my birthday back in June. Well, when "Honey" & I were in California I found a sterling silver spoon ring for her BDay gift. SHE LOVES ROSES! Of course the ring had a rose pattern on it. We had her over for a steak dinner & this Purple (her favorite color of course)Rose Cupcake was instead of cake. "Honey was OK with Rose cupcakes for dessert as long as he got dessert. And Pat loved it.
A fuzzy closeup of her ring. Enjoy it my friend & Happy Birthday!

Hope you are all having a wonderful week & for all of you in Texas...hope you are getting some of the wonderful summer showers we are getting. And a break in the 100 degree temperatures. Enjoy it while we can. Don't forget to go say HELLO to Lisa (& please tell her Charlene sent you). Hugs!!!!!!

Hey Charlene,

How are you? Long time, huh? I just got back from Jana's store. Small world.

I bought some vintage wallpaper from Lisa booth & am thinking about taking her apron class on Sept. 10th.

Are you taking it? And are you teaching the soldered charm class on the 19th?
