  Karla was telling me it was OK to rip & tear silk & lace from a vintage wedding gown

for our projects.

Karla's Cottage Romantic Gothic Ghost & Good-bye Dear Friends

Laurie & Suzanne's October visit also included attending

Karla's Cottage Romantic Gothic Ghost event.  Karla offers the most amazing classes... 
full of relaxed creativity mingled with her gracious hospitality!   

 Lee, Suzanne, Laurie & me were travel buddies for the event.
Here we are arriving & wearing the mini witch hats we created.

Beth taught our first class Gypsy Song & Spells felt book.
Karla taught our 2nd class Felted Raven Teacup vignette. 
 

 As you can see in the above photos, Karla has a gorgeous studio - 
one cannot help but be inspired.

There were lots of breaks to snuggle & cuddle Yorkie mama
Twinkle's nine pups

 Laurie's arms full of joy, holding all nine pups

So cute!

Sadly the day after Romantic Gothic Ghost, Laurie &
Suzanne's visit ends.  Their last morning here

A quick farewell photo, not too bad for aiming it in mid air. 

Four days of friendship memories!
 I miss you guys! 



 

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

The blog 'photo full' flag I received must have been
a fluke as I can now post photos - hopefully it will not return.  

Early October, Laurie & Suzanne came to visit me.
Here they are arriving at the airport.  

As soon as we left the airport we were determined to
squeeze as much as we could into their four day visit.

 Immediately after their arrival, we were off &
shopping at  The Rusty Chandelier

 

 Our Haunting Welcome

Amazing handmade crowns!

 A picture of Friendship!

The next morning we spent a couple of hours in my studio
creating Gothic Ghost banners.

 I did not finish my banner as I seem to talk too much.



Our next adventure was to shop the Mission Road Antique Mall and eat lunch at the Bloomsbury Bistro located in the mall.

 This is my favorite place for lunch!
Their toasted carrot cake is the best ever!

 Shopping at Beth's booth.  
Beth always has the coolest treasures at great prices!

We fulfilled Suzanne's dream to shop the brick and mortar store
of Victoria Trading Co.

Later that evening Suzanne surprise us
with darling Ballerina socks and tiaras

 It's been a long time since I've done a plie.

Two days down, two days left to share of our amazing visit.
 I will soon post about our adventures at the
Kansas City First Weekend West Bottoms vintage stores
(be sure and watch the West Bottoms video on this link!)
and Karla's Romantic Gothic Ghost event. 
 till then...
