More California Fun!

Did all that BLING catch your attention? IT DID MINE!!! And I can tell you Ms Sandy is a BLING kinda girl! From the treasure box above (this was on a shelf in my room) to her clothes, car & I guess her whole world… I wanted to share a few shots of the treasures she has created & placed in MY ROOM! FABULOUS is her word & loved the feathered fan & FABULOUS BLING pin.

Here’s a sweet shelf on her bookcase with her Vintage Glam book which was a class she taught. Some sweet little shoes, some wooden spools… shelves of treasures!

A photo of her Momma, a sweet “Nest” sign & the soap… ELLE like my sweet puppies name!

More treasures are stashed above… the feathered crown (from Gilded Life Event when she came to see me in Texas), some wonderful cabinet cards (oh I want copies of some of those), a cute soldered box (we crafted one whole day & made a smaller version of that) & that glittered cone on the left was amazing! Yes, Sandy that’s the little girl I love to the left of the cone…. And that’s her grandparents wedding photo on that amazing piece on the cone. She did those in a class by Deb Hodge at The Urban Barn a few months back.

Her Manni with another crown from a Gilded Life class we did together & more of her jewelry draped around the manni’s neck. Even her bra is BLING!

While there she was the hostess with the mostess. We went so many places (I have shared 2 posts already about some of the places so check them out) & on day 2 after Urban Barn we went to Laguna Beach & drove around to see how the “elite” live. And then we went to see The Pageant of The Masters (click on title for a link to see the site)which is an amazing outdoor performance where they use human actors & put them INTO works of art creating an amazing 3D piece of art on stage. The theme this year was “Only Make Believe”. Complete with fire breathing dragons, fairies, knights on horseback… So much fun! And before we went to the show we stopped at a cute 50’s style burger place & the view below was from our table on the rooftop.

Looks like a burger place view where you live doesn’t it???? Yeah… I told ya this is how the elite live. Day 3 we hopped in the car & headed about 4 hours north to Morro Bay to shop at Lina G’s . If you click on the name/link you will go to her FaceBook page & on the left column is her EBay listing link. She has lots of things for sale. Happy Hunting!

A TINY shop PACKED to the gills with vintage trims & treasures. From floor to ceiling STUFFED!!!!!

Trims, Yarn, Silk Flowers, Beading, Buttons, Lace...

And display cases FILLED with tons of stuff…

BLINKG studded buckles, lady head vases, vintage beaded flowers, spools of gold thread & a derringer. YES! A GUN! I’m telling you she has everything you can imagine & then some.

I don’t think I have ever seen such an eclectic mix of treasures before! Hope you enjoyed this little part of my summer California trip. NEXT will be my PMC Silver Clay Class with Diana Frey! Be sure to come back!

Have a safe & Happy Labor Day!

HUGS! Charlene
