So happy we all got together and had some fun yesterday . . Phyllis E. was the grand prize winner of the Tim Holtz Hoodie and was she ever so happy that she got together with us! Every hat was so creative and imaginative, arty and cute too. . so inspired by all of you . . ruffles were made from vintage sewing patterns, diecut flowers were fastened with rhinestone brads, hats were painted and stamped. Sure wish I would have thought to have everyone take off their hat and get a photo of all of them for you guys to see, but we were pretty busy and everyone was talking, shopping, and sharing. Thanks to everyone for coming and making our very first free demo at our new home in Webster Groves a fun time for all! Tie a string around your finger to remember to come to Red Lead next Sat. and Sun. for the B-Line Rubber Stamp Trunk Show on Sat. and the Christmas Walk and Glittered Greetings Free Demo on Sun. Red Lead is all gussied up for the holiday season, vintage ornaments and handmade greeting cards are hung on the tree with vintage glass beads and red twinkle lights, lots of Christmas bits for your art flew in, and we finally got around to hanging some antique drawers in the studio. The drawers are from an old dresser that had seen better days. They are like big shadow boxes that we can display art and other "finds" that we love. The store is a work in progress, and as we overheard yesterday, "You never know what you are going to find here, kind of like a treasure hunt!" The best compliment ever!
