dottie angel's book and my first string of happy.....

kay and i went to assemble gallery for dottie angel's book signing .....we missed you jenny!!

so nice to meet you tif....and have our lovely and i mean very lovely books signed

this is a very fine list

and a very nice signed copy to ME....she told us that she was feeling a bit of pressure signing w  permanent pen but had decided she would simply cross out and write crappity crap if that happened xoxo

of coarse we asked for this shot [my sister requested it actually] she explains in her book how this "off with her head " all got started....

she had all sorts of her lovlies at the gallery

inspired me to be on the lookout for doilies....

uppercase from calgary alberta canada published this book...it is volume 2 of their suitcase series

i am on the search for these colorful crochet threads too....

pondering vintage all weekend......this is some of my collectables

LOVE LOVE LOVE

 from my stash of little ittie bitties....

and my brand new little ball of crochet thread....i made my first but definitely not my last "little string of happy"

it is already hanging in it's special place in the spare room making me smile :]

and this vintage like quilt called table scraps by quilt soup  is waiting patiently for me to machine quilt

and  use in the guest room that is also waiting to be painted yellow .... do you see the vintage thing going on?

and here is the one and only treasure i found at vv yesterday.....49cents

i have been thinking and dreaming vintage all weekend....how i am and have always been part vintage....i have always loved old things and have plenty of bits here and there...
tif is pure vintage....she dresses vintage and her home is all vintage...she says she dresses the way she crafts...her book is so fine...i am a very happy girl to have a signed copy that i will treasure and be inspired by!!!
happy monday to all xoxo ~ pam ~
